FDA guidelines are very specific in terms of how computer systems are to be managed, and each company should have a specific strategy and methodology, along with a set of rigorous tactical processes and procedures that prescribe how Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning should be carried out.

This is necessary to protect against the onslaught of threats and attacks, both from natural disasters and as a result of cyber-warfare.

In this webinar, the attendee will learn how to develop a standard approach to planning, executing, and documenting efforts that involve the recovery of systems and data in a manner that complies with FDA guidelines. Some people may be new to the concept of validation and FDA regulation and will have to be coached on how to follow any necessary procedures required for compliance.

This is often true for IT staff and is likely to be the case in companies in the Tobacco industry, where regulations are emerging. It’s important to look at what are some of the threats and challenges, and what methods you can use to mitigate these. There is an enormous body of documentation and information available that can be overwhelming.
