|  LSOPS05: How do you demonstrate control over the environment within which GxP workloads operate?  | 
| --- | 
|   | 

 Configuration management (CM) involves the identification, recording, and reporting of components and relationships. Keep items identified as supporting GxP workloads under a state of control, providing an approved baseline for further evolution and allowing safe restoration of a verified baseline in case of problems. 


|  LSOPS06: How do you implement data quality controls to minimize entry errors?  |

|   | 

 Data quality is paramount for life science projects. Validating data as it is ingested results in quality output and conclusions.
