Where this shows up

In regulated environments, an incomplete or inaccurate asset inventory isn’t just an IT hygiene problem — it’s an audit and validation risk. Many life sciences IT teams can’t confidently answer which hardware and software versions sit behind a given validated process, or prove that patch and configuration state matches what was documented.

How we approach it

• Establish a single source of truth for hardware and software assets tied to GxP-relevant systems.
• Reconcile discovered software against license entitlements to close compliance and true-up gaps.
• Tie asset records to validation documentation so configuration drift is visible, not discovered during an audit.
• Set up ongoing discovery and reconciliation cadence instead of a one-time cleanup.

What changes

• An asset inventory that holds up under audit scrutiny
• Reduced license compliance and true-up exposure
• Configuration drift caught before it becomes a validation finding
