Case Study: Global Life Sciences Providing Company achieves streamlined SOX compliance and paperless audits with Veeva Systems

Life Sciences Leader Builds Application on Veeva Vault Platform to Streamline SOX Compliance

A global medical-device manufacturer with facilities in multiple countries was struggling to meet Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) requirements because its SOX records were fragmented across offices, binders, and drives. Without a single validated content system, the company couldn’t enforce SOPs, monitor document activity, grant secure auditor access, or reliably produce evidence for three annual audits, making compliance time-consuming and risky.

The company built a custom SOX application on the Veeva Vault Platform and went live in 13 weeks. The cloud-based, GxP-validated solution delivers role-based security, standardized workflows, audit trails, and easy auditor access; it centralized regulated and supporting documents and enabled self-service reporting. As a result, paperwork and storage costs fell, audits are faster and fully electronic, SOP enforcement and training improved, and the organization can quickly add new divisions and scale compliance processes.
