About

Controlled Copy is written by Renos, a Chief Information Officer at a clinical research organisation, with over a decade of hands-on experience overseeing GxP computerised systems, validation programmes, and quality management infrastructure across regulated environments.

If you're a new or small CRO, an early-stage biotech or medical device company building your computerised systems quality framework for the first time, or a fractional QA/regulatory consultant supporting several small clients — this suite gives you a complete, cross-referenced starting point without waiting weeks for someone to draft it from scratch.

Hiring a consultant

$10,000–$25,000+

Independent GxP/CSV consultants commonly charge $150–300 per hour. Drafting, reviewing, and cross-referencing a 42-document SOP suite from scratch is typically weeks of work — before you've adapted a single template to your organisation.

Controlled·Copy

$799

All 14 SOPs, 2 policies, 4 validation templates, 17 matching forms, 4 registers, and 1 schedule, already cross-referenced and aligned to 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, ICH E6(R3), and GAMP 5. Work through the included Customization Checklist to adapt them — typically hours per document, not weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Are these documents audit-ready as-is?

No — they're a structured starting point, not a finished quality system. Every document includes guidance notes marking the decisions that need your organisation's input (numbering, risk bands, role titles, timeframes) before they're ready for internal review and approval.

What do I actually receive?

14 SOPs, 2 policies, 4 validation templates, 17 matching forms, 4 registers, and 1 schedule — 42 editable Microsoft Word (.docx) files in total — along with a Customization Checklist. The Master Document List register is included with every individual pack. Delivered as an instant download after checkout. No physical product, no account required.

Are Validation Plan and Validation Summary Report templates included?

Yes. The CSV Core pack includes four validation templates — Validation Plan (TMP-QA-001), User Requirements Specification (TMP-QA-002), Validation Protocol and Test Script (TMP-QA-003), and Validation Summary Report (TMP-QA-004), which carries the requirements traceability matrix. They follow the lifecycle defined in SOP-QA-003 and are structured for customisation to your system's type, GAMP 5 category, and regulatory scope, like every other document in the suite.

Can I use my own branding and document numbering?

Yes. Every document is fully editable. SOP-QA-001 (Document Control and Management) also includes guidance on establishing your own numbering convention if you'd rather not use the one provided.

Is this legal or regulatory advice?

No. These templates are built on hands-on GxP and computerised systems experience, structured around FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 11, ICH E6(R3) and other ICH guidance, and GAMP 5. You're responsible for ensuring your final documents meet your organisation's regulatory obligations, and we'd recommend having them reviewed by qualified QA or regulatory personnel before issue.

Can my whole team or company use one purchase?

Yes — each purchase is licensed for use within a single organisation. The files are yours to adapt, copy, and issue internally as controlled documents.

Can I get a refund?

Because the files are delivered instantly and can’t be returned, all sales are final and we don’t offer refunds. If a file is damaged or you have trouble downloading it, contact info@controlledcopy.com and we’ll sort it out.

What if I have a question after buying?

Reach out to us at info@controlledcopy.com and we'll get back to you.
