FAQs — IT for pharma & life sciences
Q.What IT support do pharmaceutical companies need?
Pharmaceutical and life sciences companies operate in highly regulated environments where IT must meet GxP requirements — including 21 CFR Part 11 (electronic records and signatures), EU Annex 11, and MHRA expectations. Validated computer systems, audit trail integrity, and documented change control processes are essential. IP protection is also critical — pharmaceutical R&D data is an extremely high-value target for nation-state and criminal cyber actors.
Q.What is GxP IT compliance and how do you support it?
GxP refers to Good Practice guidelines (GMP, GLP, GCP) that regulate pharmaceutical manufacturing, laboratory, and clinical processes. From an IT perspective, GxP compliance requires validated computer systems (GAMP 5), complete and accurate audit trails for electronic records, access controls, system lifecycle management documentation, and change control processes. Coreitech helps pharmaceutical businesses implement and maintain GxP-aligned IT infrastructure.
Q.Can you support LIMS and ELN systems?
Yes. We support STARLIMS, LabWare, Benchling ELN, and other laboratory information management systems — managing the underlying server infrastructure, database administration, user management, integration with laboratory instruments, and first-line support for laboratory staff. We understand the validation requirements of these systems and manage changes through appropriate documented change control.
Q.How do you protect pharmaceutical IP from cyber threats?
Pharmaceutical companies are primary targets for IP theft — R&D data, clinical trial results, and formulation data have enormous value to nation-state actors and criminal groups. We implement advanced security controls including zero-trust network architecture, data loss prevention (DLP) tools, privileged access management for sensitive research systems, network segmentation isolating R&D environments, and continuous security monitoring with SOC capabilities.
Q.How much does IT support for a pharmaceutical company cost?
Managed IT support for pharmaceutical and life sciences businesses is typically priced based on organisational complexity and regulatory requirements. Base managed IT typically starts at £85–£130 per user per month for regulated environments, with additional costs for validated system management and GxP compliance services. We provide fixed monthly pricing with full transparency.
