Technology Partners

We work with a select group of technology vendors whose platforms support our work across validation, compliance, quality, and operations.

When client needs extend beyond our core services, we bring in these partners to solve real-world problems faster, and with less risk.

Digital Validation

Problem: Traditional CSV efforts are slow, expensive, and audit-unfriendly. Teams spend weeks manually producing validation packages that are hard to maintain and rarely aligned with actual system use.

Solution: We modernize validation using risk-based CSA, automation, and AI-assisted authoring aligned with GAMP 5 and inspection expectations. Our approach produces faster, leaner, and inspection-ready results—without the bloat.

Our preferred platform is ValKit, a Gen 2 digital validation solution that blends automation, structured content reuse, and contextual AI to reduce validation costs by up to 80% and delivery time by as much as 85%. Traceability, version control, and report generation are built-in—not bolted on—making ValKit a practical game-changer for teams who want to move fast without compromising compliance.

As an authorized partner and advisory board member, Driftpin has deep experience implementing ValKit across CSV, C&Q, and SaaS validation projects.

Learning Management

Problem: Training systems are often bolted onto other platforms—making them unwieldy, misaligned with compliance needs, and difficult to manage or audit.

Solution: Training is a core requirement across CSV, ISO 27001, and ISO 9001—not a bolt-on. We implement right-sized learning platforms that support role-based curricula, SOP alignment, and traceable training records—while keeping validation simple and integration flexible.

We work with RazzoTech, creators of SkillUp LMS, to deliver systems that meet the needs of growing teams without unnecessary overhead. SkillUp solves a major headache for teams that need a right-sized, compliant solution without the overhead of overly complex platforms.

We also support validation using ValKit, our preferred platform for generating efficient, inspection-ready validation packages.

Information Security

Problem: Security and quality often operate in silos—until an audit or inspection reveals the gap.

Security controls may be implemented in isolation from validation or compliance processes. This disconnect often surfaces during integrated audits—ISO 27001, vendor inspections, or FDA reviews—where organizations struggle to produce traceable, validated evidence of controls.

Solution: We help clients build or improve ISO 27001-aligned Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) that support both regulatory and operational goals. Our services include:

• Security readiness assessments and gap analysis
• Internal audits and remediation planning
• Penetration test vendor selection and oversight
• Surveillance/certification audit support
• Development of controlled documentation: policies, SOPs, work instructions, reference docs
• Frameworks for SDLC, CSV/CSA, vendor management, and business continuity
• Backup, disaster recovery, vulnerability scanning, and monitoring strategies

Tools: Atumcell for supplier and cybersecurity risk scoring; plus platforms like Drata, Tugboat, and Secureframe depending on organization size and audit needs.

Quality Management Systems (QMS)

Problem: Many QMS efforts introduce unnecessary complexity—or miss key risks—because teams lack the context to right-size their quality approach.

Growing organizations often struggle to determine how much structure they need, when to introduce systems, or how to apply risk-based thinking to quality management. This leads to bloated bureaucracies or patchwork processes that can’t scale or stand up to audit scrutiny.

Solution: We help establish ISO 9001-aligned QMS strategies that scale with the organization—whether through lightweight procedural frameworks or full system implementations. When technology is needed, we lead discovery, requirements definition, vendor evaluation, implementation, and ValKit-backed validation.

For teams not ready for a full QMS—or using platforms that don’t cover training—we offer SkillUp LMS as a standalone solution to manage GxP training, provision staff records, and support audit-readiness.

Platforms: Examples include: Veeva, MasterControl, Qualio — selected based on size, maturity, and compliance exposure

ERP & Business Systems

Problem: ERP rollouts often defer validation, creating rework and compliance risk.

Solution: We ensure validation and change control are built in from day one.

Lab & Research Management

Problem: Labs moving from R&D into regulated operations often face gaps in traceability, data integrity, and compliance structure. LIMS/ELN platforms may miss ALCOA+ principles or fail to scale with complex workflows like cell banking, digital batch records, and GMP alignment.

Solution: Driftpin works with clients to implement and validate systems that support compliant, reproducible lab operations—whether in early-stage research or preparing for GMP. We assess operational needs, design compliant workflows, and guide vendor selection and validation across lab technologies.

As fractional Head of QA for CellPort, Driftpin has led implementation of ISO 27001, computer system validation (CSV), full controlled documentation rebuilds, supplier management frameworks, and QC testing oversight. This hands-on leadership enables us to advise other labs with grounded, real-world expertise.

R&D Tech Stack

Problem: Study data gets siloed across disconnected tools, making analysis and submissions painful.

Solution: We help select, validate, and implement connected systems across the development lifecycle.

Focus Areas: CDMS, CTMS, eTMF, IRT, PV, MI systems
