GxP

Make Regulated System Access Inspection-Ready by Design

Anugal enforces policy-driven identity governance that ensures access to GxP-regulated systems is controlled and continuously compliant before inspections demand documented proof.

The Reality of GxP Compliance

GxP environments depend on controlled access to systems supporting manufacturing, quality, laboratory operations, clinical trials, and validated processes. Compliance failures rarely stem from missing procedures. Pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences organizations operate across ERP platforms, LIMS, MES, quality systems, document management tools, and third-party research environments. Workforce rotations, batch production cycles, external collaborators, and system validations create ongoing access changes.

Yet access evidence is often reconstructed during inspections, pulled from logs and screenshots that confirm activity but not controlled authorization. Anugal closes this gap by embedding GxP control principles directly into identity governance and execution workflows.

How GxP Controls Map to Identity Governance

GxP requires documented control, traceability, and validated change management. Anugal translates these expectations into governed identity actions across the access lifecycle.

Controlled System Access

(GMP/Annex 11 – Access restricted to authorized personnel; 21 CFR Part 11.10(d))
Requirement: Only authorized individuals may access regulated systems and electronic records.
  • Role-based access aligned to validated job functions and SOP-defined responsibilities
  • Eligibility checks before provisioning regulated permissions
  • Access boundaries enforced for manufacturing, quality, and laboratory systems
  • Automatic removal of access upon role change or termination

Unique User Accountability

(21 CFR Part 11 – Unique identification and accountability)
Requirement: Actions must be attributable to a specific individual and not shared accounts.
  • Ownership-based approval routing for regulated system access
  • Individual identity enforcement across validated platforms
  • Immutable logs linking user, approver, and policy evaluation
  • Preserved authorization context supporting inspection review

Change Management & Validation Support

(GMP Annex 11 – Change control and system validation)
Requirement: System changes, including access modifications, must be controlled and documented.
  • Structured access workflows aligned with change control processes
  • Preventive segregation-of-duties enforcement before permission changes
  • Traceable approval and execution records integrated into validation documentation
  • Lifecycle governance supporting validated system state

Periodic Access Reviews

(GMP/GCP expectations for ongoing control)
Requirement: Access appropriateness must be periodically reviewed and confirmed.
  • Targeted certifications for validated and GxP-impacting systems
  • High-impact roles and privileged access prioritized for review
  • Review outcomes preserved with accountable approval records
  • Remediation tracked through confirmed deprovisioning

Inspection & Audit Readiness

(Part 11 audit trail expectations; GMP data integrity principles)
Requirement: Electronic records must be accurate, complete, and retrievable for inspection.
  • Centralized reporting aligned to GxP inspection expectations
  • Continuous capture of approval, policy validation, and execution records
  • Traceable linkage between access authorization and system activity
  • Defensible documentation supporting regulatory inspections

How This Strengthens GxP Compliance Posture

  • Reduced risk of inspection observations related to access control
  • Stronger support for validated system integrity
  • Clear accountability for regulated system access
  • Improved alignment with data integrity principles (ALCOA+)
  • Faster and more structured response during audits and inspections
