Can you explain the GAMP 5 framework? How does it apply to CSV?
GAMP 5 (Good Automated Manufacturing Practice) is a risk-based approach to validation. It
classifies systems into categories and provides guidelines on testing and documentation. It
helps ensure compliance in life sciences industries.
What are the different software lifecycle methodologies (Waterfall, Agile, DevOps), and how
do they impact CSV?
Waterfall follows a sequential approach, making validation straightforward but rigid. Agile
and DevOps involve iterative development, requiring continuous validation (e.g., automated
testing) to ensure compliance.
Can you walk us through an end-to-end validation process you’ve worked on?
The validation process includes:
1. User Requirements Specification (URS)
2. Functional Specification (FS)
3. Installation Qualification (IQ)
4. Operational Qualification (OQ)
5. Performance Qualification (PQ)
6. Validation Report
I've followed these steps to validate GxP systems in my projects.
What are IQ, OQ, PQ in validation? Can you provide an example of each?
IQ (Installation Qualification) ensures proper system installation.
OQ (Operational Qualification) verifies functionality under expected conditions.
PQ (Performance Qualification) confirms the system meets user requirements in real-world
scenarios.
What are some challenges you have faced while performing validation activities?
Challenges include:
- Managing validation in Agile environments
- Keeping documentation up to date
- Addressing audit findings
- Ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory standards
What are some key differences between internal and external IT audits?
Internal audits are conducted within the organization to ensure compliance and identify
gaps before an external audit. External audits are performed by independent auditors to
certify compliance with regulatory standards.
Have you worked with GDPR or SOC 2 compliance? If so, what were your responsibilities?
Yes, I have experience with GDPR and SOC 2 compliance. My responsibilities included:
- Ensuring data protection measures were in place
- Managing access controls and audit logs
- Conducting periodic security and compliance assessments
Can you explain how Identity and Access Management (IAM) plays a role in compliance?
IAM ensures that only authorized users have access to critical systems, reducing security
risks and ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR and SOC 2.
What are some common findings in IT audits, and how would you address them?
Common findings include:
- Lack of proper access controls
- Incomplete validation documentation
- Unsecured audit trails
To address these, I ensure continuous compliance monitoring, conduct training sessions,
and implement corrective actions.
What are COBIT and NIST frameworks, and how do they apply to GRC?
COBIT is a framework for IT governance and management, ensuring IT aligns with business
objectives. NIST provides guidelines for cybersecurity risk management.
Can you explain a real-world scenario where you had to assess and manage a risk?
During a project, we identified a gap in access control. I implemented an IAM policy and
audit tracking system to mitigate unauthorized access risks.
What was your role in Deloitte USI’s IT Quality & Compliance team?
I was responsible for executing validation activities, maintaining compliance
documentation, and collaborating with teams to optimize IAM protocols.
Can you share an experience where you had to work with cross-functional teams?
I worked with IT, compliance, and security teams to implement validation processes,
ensuring adherence to regulatory standards.
Tell us about a challenging project you worked on and how you resolved issues.
One challenge was managing compliance across different development methodologies. I
implemented automated validation scripts to ensure continuous compliance.
How do you stay updated with compliance regulations and industry trends?
I regularly review industry guidelines (FDA, ISO, GDPR) and participate in webinars and
training sessions.
Why do you want to join Infosys GRC team?
Infosys has a strong reputation in IT governance, risk, and compliance. I am eager to
contribute my skills in CSV, audits, and risk assessment while growing in a dynamic
environment.
