Quality and Compliance Services

Quality is not a feature.
It is the foundation.

GxP-Cloud was a quality company before it was a hosting company. Our Quality Management System was established before our first data centre went live. Every service we deliver operates under a GxP QMS reviewed and approved by over 100 auditors across EMA, MHRA, and FDA regulated environments.

Who we are

A quality company that does hosting. Not a hosting company that adapts to compliance.

Since the founders started Validated Cloud in 2008, the entire premise was to host regulated workloads for life sciences. We established our Quality System before we opened our first data centre.

That distinction matters. Our quality department is not a compliance add-on. It is the institutional core of everything we do. Every infrastructure deployment, platform change, storage configuration, and support activity is governed by SOPs, reviewed by our Quality team, and documented in a QMS that an EMA or MHRA inspector can walk through at any point.

Beyond the quality infrastructure that underpins our hosting services, we provide standalone quality and compliance services to life sciences organisations at every stage of their regulated journey.

Our quality system

A QMS that 100+ auditors have walked through and approved.

Our Quality Management System is not designed to satisfy the minimum requirement. It is designed to be reviewed by the most demanding auditors in the industry and to come out stronger every time.

Our goal in every quality services engagement is to get you to a point where you own your compliance posture independently. We are the support system that gets you ready to stand on your own — not a consultancy that profits from extended dependency.

Speak to our Quality team
100+
Auditors have reviewed and approved our Quality Management System across EMA, MHRA, and FDA regulated environments. That institutional knowledge is what you get access to when you work with our Quality team.
Independent QA teamSeparate from engineering. Oversight of all technical activities with audit readiness as the standing objective.
Formal change controlEvery change goes through a QA-approved formal process with objective evidence. No uncontrolled changes.
SOP-governed operationsEvery operational activity from installation through lifecycle is governed by documented procedures.
Audit defence includedOur Quality team attends inspections alongside you and defends the systems we manage.
For sponsors and pre-commercial companies

Start at the finish line. Not from scratch.

Pre-commercial companies often try to save money on quality infrastructure initially — and then discover the long-term cost when incomplete validation activities fall short just before an EMA or MHRA inspection. That rework costs far more than doing it right the first time.

Validated Cloud's starter quality system gets you from nothing to a quality system that supports deploying and maintaining your first validated computerised systems. When you are ready to own it independently, you take our artefacts, customise them, and they are yours.

Talk to us about getting started
For GxP SaaS providers

Transform your discovery software into GxP revenue.

Your software excels in discovery and research. But your customers want to use it in GxP operations. Following individual customer directions for compliance does not scale.

To capture the broader GxP market, you need a comprehensive quality framework and productised validation deliverables that put you in control of your software's regulatory positioning. The audit game has changed. Customers now buy first, then audit — creating an uncontrollable list of post-sale requirements. Getting customers to audit first transforms this into a scoped gap analysis before contracts are signed.

Talk to us about GxP SaaS readiness
1
Validation package creation

Complete documentation suite your customers need for validation. Packages that satisfy the vast majority of prospective customers on the first pass. This investment becomes a profit centre.

2
GxP readiness that builds customer confidence

Behind every successful GxP engagement is a quality framework customers can audit and trust. Words in the wrong order undermine everything — and customers may never tell you they have lost confidence.

3
Managed quality until you fly solo

Not ready for a permanent quality function? We act as your quality department through QMS as a Service, covering all the basics from day one while you mature your GxP compliance capability.

4
Pre-sales auditability

A pre-qualified, audit-ready posture that accelerates customer deployments and shortens sales cycles. Customers audit your framework before contracts are signed — keeping you in control.

What your peers are navigating

These are the quality and compliance situations that surface most often — usually just before an inspection.

Regulatory inspectors do not just look at your systems. They look at the quality framework that governs them. The organisations that sail through inspections built their quality foundation early and maintained it continuously.

Validation work that fell short before an EMA inspectionIncomplete validation requires expensive rework that costs far more than doing it right the first time. We help you do it right — or remediate quickly when needed.
No QMS or only pieces of one as you approach regulatory readinessPhase 2 and some Phase 3 sponsors often have no quality system or only fragments. Our starter QMS covers everything you need to deploy your first validated systems.
IT and QA teams pulling in different directions on validated systemsOur Quality team bridges the gap. We understand both the technical and regulatory perspective and operate as the independent oversight function between them.
GxP SaaS customers asking audit questions you are not prepared to answerGetting customers to audit first transforms post-sale compliance demands into a scoped gap analysis you control — before contracts are signed.
You have come to the right place

We have seen every one of these situations. We have helped organisations resolve all of them.

Our goal in every engagement is practical, sustainable compliance — not an extended consulting relationship. We get you to the point where you own your quality posture independently.
