What is a computer system validation CSV?

A Computer System Validation (CSV) job involves ensuring that computerized systems used in regulated industries, such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices, comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GxP). CSV professionals develop validation protocols, conduct testing, and document system performance to ensure data integrity, reliability, and compliance. Their role is critical in maintaining system quality and avoiding regulatory risks.
