Data Process Mapping Tools and Strategies in Data Integrity Governance

In an increasingly digital and regulated environment, effective data governance is not optional—it’s foundational. This webinar explores how data process mapping, when integrated with Computer Systems Validation (CSV), enhances your organization’s data integrity, regulatory compliance, and risk management strategy. You will learn the principles of process mapping, how to assess vulnerabilities, and how to align your practices with FDA expectations under 21 CFR Part 11 and Part 820. Through real-world examples and key 483/Warning Letter insights, this session will equip you with tools and techniques to build a strong, auditable data integrity governance framework.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND:

Data process mapping is a powerful tool to uncover data flow gaps, prevent integrity breaches, and prepare for regulatory audits. With regulatory bodies like the FDA tightening scrutiny on data governance and issuing more 483s and warning letters, understanding how to proactively map, assess, and govern data is more critical than ever. This webinar will help you decode industry trends, avoid common pitfalls, and build a resilient compliance strategy. You'll walk away with a clear methodology to integrate data mapping with your CSV and Quality Systems.
