Why Networkz IT

We Speak Your Language

Our founder served as Sr. Director of IT at a NASDAQ-listed biotech, managing SOX 404(b) audits, 21 CFR Part 11 validation programs, and IT infrastructure through the company's acquisition by a top-five global pharma company. That is operational experience under regulatory scrutiny, not consulting theory.

Start Simple, Scale Smart

Begin with help desk and a NIST-aligned security baseline. Add compliance readiness services when investors and board members start asking. Implement full SOX and GxP controls when regulatory timelines approach. You pay for the stage you are in, not complexity you do not need yet. Every major system decision gets a stage-appropriate compliance review before you buy, not after.

Documentation That Survives Audits

We've sat across the table from Big Four auditors and FDA inspectors. Our documentation, change control records, and validation packages are built for regulatory scrutiny, not just IT convenience.

Regulatory Governance

Security Baseline

NIST CSF 2.0

Our foundation for every client engagement. NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 alignment helps your security posture meet investor and board expectations before regulatory requirements formally apply.

Public Readiness

SOX 404(b)

Full General Computing Control implementation for public companies. We've managed external audits with Big Four firms and know what IPE documentation, access reviews, and change control evidence auditors actually want to see.

FDA Validation

21 CFR Part 11

Validation for electronic records and signatures in FDA-regulated environments. From Adobe Sign validation to eQMS deployment, we prepare your systems to meet regulatory requirements before your first FDA inspection.

Security

HIPAA & NIST

Patient data protection and security framework alignment. We implement technical safeguards, access controls, and audit capabilities required for clinical data handling.

Global Privacy

GDPR / CCPA

Data sovereignty and privacy controls for global clinical trials. We configure retention policies, data subject request workflows, and cross-border transfer mechanisms.

Validation

GxP Validation

Computer system validation for laboratory, manufacturing, and clinical systems. IQ/OQ/PQ documentation, vendor assessments, and periodic review programs that satisfy QA and auditors.

Standards

ISO 27001

Information security management system alignment for enterprise partnerships, investor due diligence, and international collaborations.
