VAL019 Gudiance on Validation Activities for Systems at Low-, Moderate-, and High-Risk Levels (RiskVal^SM)

This Guidance reviews all of the deliverables from each phase of the RiskVal validation process and identifies when each is needed based on system risk level and complexity. Guidelines are also provided on the level of rigor and intensity to be applied to deliverables for systems at the three risk levels.

This procedure is based on the RiskVal Life Cycle.^(SM) It corresponds to the life cycle phases and deliverables described in Computer System Risk Management and Validation Life Cycle written by the author of this procedure, Tim Stein, and published by Paton Professional, 2006.
