The straightforward case
You are already going to pay about the same for public cloud. Why not have us do the work?

Building a GxP-compliant environment on public cloud requires your team to own infrastructure qualification, change control, compliance documentation, audit defence, and ongoing quality oversight. That is not what you hired them to do.

GxP-Cloud assumes 60 to 95 percent of that burden from day one. Your team focuses on the application and the science. We handle everything underneath.

What we provide

Qualified infrastructure for the full life sciences stack

Every service runs under a GxP quality system aligned to EMA, MHRA, and FDA expectations. Audit-ready by design, not by preparation.

Most differentiated

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Managing an OS in a GxP environment is the messiest part of regulated IT. Patches can break validated applications. Security tools quarantine legitimate files. Dependencies shift without warning. We take all of that on. Your engineering team moves from doers to reviewers.

Foundational layer

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Secure, fully qualified compute, storage, and networking. Pre-built IQ/OQ documentation included. Firewalls, antivirus, IDS/IPS managed and logged. The physical layer, done right, documented, and ready to defend in an inspection.

For regulated analytics

Statistical Computing Environment

GxP-qualified hosting for SAS, Posit (RStudio), and regulated analytics platforms. Run SAS and Posit side by side. Reusable IQ/OQ/PQ templates reduce validation effort significantly. Purpose-built for pharma and biotech data teams.

Business continuity

Disaster Recovery as a Service

Encrypted, validated backups replicated across geographic zones. Reserved failover resources. Annual DR testing. Fully aligned to Annex 11 and 21 CFR Part 11. When something fails, your recovery is qualified, documented, and defensible.

Full quality oversight

Quality and Compliance Services

Integrated QMS, formal change control, IQ/OQ packages, and an independent QA team that defends your deployment in audits. CSV/CSA support, SOP authoring, gap assessments, and inspection readiness preparation. We speak both IT and Quality.

The cost of running on public cloud looks lower until you account for the qualification work, the ongoing maintenance, and the cost of defending it when an inspector asks for documentation you do not have.

What your peers are navigating

Regulatory expectations for cloud infrastructure are increasing. These are the questions your QA team is already asking.

EMA and MHRA inspectors are asking about cloud infrastructure with increasing frequency. Most life sciences companies did not plan for this. The ones who are ready all have one thing in common: they treated infrastructure qualification as a first-order concern, not an afterthought.

Can you produce IQ/OQ documentation for your hosting environment? On public cloud, the answer is no. On GxP-Cloud, the documentation is downloadable in real time.
Who approves changes to your infrastructure? Public cloud providers change infrastructure without notifying you. Every uncontrolled change is a potential Annex 11 finding.
Does your IT team understand GxP, and does your QA team understand IT? The gap between IT fluency and Quality fluency is where most compliance risk lives. We speak both languages.
Where does your data reside, and who has access to it? EU data sovereignty and GDPR compliance are procurement requirements, not optional. They should be answered before you sign a cloud contract.
You have come to the right place

GxP-Cloud was built to answer every one of these questions before they become inspection findings.

Our quality system has been reviewed by hundreds of auditors across EMA, MHRA, and FDA regulated environments. We participate in inspections alongside our clients. Our QA team defends what we build.
