Computerised System
A set of software and hardware components configured to perform a particular function together.
Details
A computerised system is software and hardware performing a GMP function together; the application is validated and the IT infrastructure is qualified. Inspections cite the absence of an up to date system inventory, user requirements specification, data flow, or interface description, and inadequate access control, change control, and periodic review. Look at the system description, validation traceability, privileges, audit trails, backup and recovery, and records of changes, incidents, and periodic review.
