CSV → CSA Transition Program

Move your validation program from document-heavy CSV to the FDA’s risk-based Computer Software Assurance model — less paperwork, more assurance where it matters, fully defensible.


Scope

What the transition delivers

A structured shift in how your organization validates — methodology, templates, SOPs and team capability.

CSA operating model

A risk-based validation model tailored to your systems and risk appetite.

Updated SOPs & templates

Validation procedures and lean deliverables aligned to CSA.

Critical-thinking framework

Right-sizing assurance by intended use and risk, not by habit.

Unscripted & risk-based testing

Adopting the testing approaches CSA encourages.

Vendor-leverage model

Using qualified vendor evidence to avoid redundant work.

Team enablement

Training so your team sustains CSA after we’re done.

              What Our Clients Say

              SQA Solution and I have partnered on several roles within our Engineering group over the last year. She has been incredibly supportive of our growth strategy and has presented candidates that we’re highly experienced and qualified. I like to say that Katherine never wastes our time. She is a skilled recruiter and has a great balance in working with and for both the company and candidate.

              Alina with SQA Solution was a fantastic recruiter! Alina was very responsive to my emails and provided consistent updates throughout the interview and on-boarding process with Roche. I am grateful for Alina’s guidance and it is thanks to her that I am now a Project Coordinator for Roche Molecular Solutions. I would recommend anyone looking for a job to contact Alina!

              My favorite thing about Stan is that he is a great person, as well as a highly-skilled recruiter. So many other staffing agencies that I had contacted really made me feel like I was a handful of cooked spaghetti (a job seeker) to be thrown at the nearest wall (job req) they had around. I never got that impression from Stan.

              So of course he’s intelligent, and resourceful, and very savvy about the art of getting a candidate hired. He’s also creative, and enthusiastic, and he enjoys a good laugh. I respect his talents, and he’s likeable too. That’s an impressive combination!

              It is my pleasure to recommend Julia and SQA Solution as I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with her over the past on a variety of difference IT related contract/CTH opportunities. During her time with SQA Julia’s ability to juggle multiple job orders is refreshing and has made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our partnership. She has the patience, organization and the ability to determine the job seekers needs as well as a client’s needs. She provided excellent customer service and also understood my background and gave me the opportunity to work with her. I wish her much success now and in the future
