Life Science Industry Assurance
Risks facing life science organisations
Industry-specific risks are shown first, followed by risks common to all sectors.
GMP, GCP, GLP, GDP, and GVP obligations create significant inspection risk. Health authority actions including FDA warning letters, EMA findings, MHRA failures, import alerts, product recalls, and licence suspension can create severe consequences for unprepared organisations.
Evolving expectations under EU GMP Annex 11 / Annex 22, the EU AI Act, FDA software assurance principles, and CSV requirements create regulatory exposure where AI systems and digital processes are not effectively governed or validated.
Weak ALCOA+ controls, poor audit trail governance, inadequate access management, and GDPR/privacy obligations can lead to regulatory findings, enforcement action, and reduced confidence in clinical, laboratory, or manufacturing data.
Customers, investors, and supply chain partners increasingly require certifications, audit outcomes, and evidence of control maturity before awarding or renewing business.
Evolving regulations, intensified oversight, and sector-specific obligations create risk of non-compliance, penalties, disruption, and reputational damage.
Absence of tested business continuity plans and disaster recovery capabilities leaves organisations vulnerable to operational disruption, customer impact, and regulatory non-compliance.
Cyber threats, ransomware, privacy obligations, and data governance failures can directly impact operations, customer confidence, and regulatory standing.
Poor preparation can lead to delayed certifications, major nonconformities, suspended approvals, and missed commercial opportunities.
