Program Overview: What is GxP Data Integrity and ALCOA+?
GxP Data Integrity & ALCOA+ is a 24-hour program for quality, manufacturing, and IT teams responsible for regulated data in life sciences. It covers GxP foundations and ALCOA+ principles, electronic records and audit trail controls, data integrity gap assessment, remediation and control implementation, plus inspection readiness and data review. The program treats data integrity as a system design problem, not a paperwork exercise.
Training is instructor-led with lab work on realistic record systems. Participants run a gap assessment against ALCOA+ criteria, configure audit trail controls, and practise data review the way inspectors do. Instructors with industry data-integrity experience review every finding and give direct feedback across the labs. The program closes with a capstone where teams deliver a full data integrity remediation program.
Data integrity findings are among the most common and most damaging inspection outcomes: warning letters, import alerts, and lost trust that take years to rebuild. This program teaches teams to find their own gaps before regulators do and to fix them with controls that actually hold, so data review becomes a strength instead of a liability.
The capstone is a data integrity remediation program: a gap assessment report, prioritized remediation plan, implemented controls with evidence, and an inspection-readiness package, all built on a realistic case. Reviewers challenge it the way an inspector would. Teams leave with a remediation playbook they can apply to their own systems immediately.
The program starts with GxP foundations and the ALCOA+ framework, then moves into electronic records, audit trails, and 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 controls. Your team scores real workflows against ALCOA+, implements preventive controls, and builds a defensible remediation plan. It closes with a mock data integrity audit and a capstone remediation program your team can apply immediately across GxP sites.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Data integrity only makes sense once your team knows the GMP rules the data has to prove. This path moves from GMP foundations to ALCOA+, then to validating the systems that create the data, and finally to CAPA for the integrity gaps that inspections find.

Connect GxP Record Integrity With Prioritized Controls and Remediation Evidence
Edstellar develops data-integrity capability by following records through assessment, correction, and sustained control. Participants apply ALCOA+ criteria, inspect electronic audit trails, and design preventive procedures before rehearsing inspection responses. The final remediation program is reviewed for evidence-backed priorities, coherent control ownership, and a handover that addresses the causes of identified deficiencies.
- Step 01
Consult
We examine the cohort's GxP record types and difficulties with audit trails, data review, or recurring deviations, establishing responsibilities for documentation and remediation.
- Step 02
Plan
GxP and ALCOA+ foundations lead into electronic records, gap assessment, control implementation, and inspection practice before the complete site remediation program is presented.
- Step 03
Align
We align regulated data-integrity expertise with QA, clinical, laboratory, and manufacturing roles, confirming relevant systems and providing foundations for participants without previous integrity training.
- Step 04
Customize
Sample audit trails and record workflows reflect familiar regulated activities, allowing risk assessment and SOP drafting without exposing confidential study, product, or patient data.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants trace record changes, score deficiencies, and draft preventive controls, receiving feedback on evidence, priority decisions, audit responses, and links between deviations and CAPA.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the remediation program for supported gap findings, justified priorities, appropriate procedures and controls, and a clear handover that assigns monitoring and follow-through responsibilities.
