Objectives

Get to know the different types of cloud computing, their technical basics and their validation approaches. What are the pharmaceutical authorities’ requirements with regard to cloud computing and what regulations have to be observed? An inspector will present his perspective to these questions and the experience gained so far in audits and will further cover critical points. You can assess the use of cloud computing from the perspective of IT security and data protection rules, and based on that you can formulate requirements for cloud service providers. You can evaluate the opportunities and risks of cloud computing in the GxP environment.
