FDA-Compliant, Validated Technology for Life Sciences

IT for Medical Devices & BioTech

Medical device manufacturers, biotech startups, and life sciences companies operating in Houston and the Texas Medical Center work in one of the most heavily regulated IT environments in the world. FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GxP validation, ALCOA+ data integrity, HIPAA, and ISO 13485 combine to create a compliance surface that demands purpose-built infrastructure and documented IT processes. LayerLogix delivers managed IT, validation services, and compliance support built specifically for the unique needs of regulated life sciences organizations.

What We Offer

Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses

FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance

Electronic records and electronic signatures in FDA-regulated environments require specific technical controls — validated systems, audit trails, access controls, and signature manifestation. We implement Part 11 compliant infrastructure and document the evidence your FDA inspectors and notified bodies expect.

GxP System Validation (IQ/OQ/PQ)

GMP, GLP, and GCP environments require that IT systems supporting regulated activities be validated. We execute Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification, and Performance Qualification — producing the validation deliverables and change control documentation required by your Quality system.

Clinical Data Integrity & Audit Trails

ALCOA+ data integrity is non-negotiable for clinical data, laboratory records, and manufacturing execution systems. We implement tamper-evident storage, complete audit trails, immutable backups, and the access controls that demonstrate data integrity to FDA, EMA, and ISO auditors.

HIPAA & Clinical Research Privacy

Medical device and BioTech companies handling PHI in clinical trials, post-market surveillance, or connected devices must meet HIPAA Security Rule requirements. We implement the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards HIPAA requires and maintain the audit evidence for inspections and Business Associate agreements.

Texas Medical Center Collaboration Infrastructure

Many Houston biotech companies collaborate with MD Anderson, Baylor College of Medicine, Methodist, and other TMC institutions. We build secure data exchange, federated access, and collaboration infrastructure that satisfies institutional review boards and research data use agreements.

Laboratory & Instrument Integration

LIMS, ELN, chromatography data systems, sequencing platforms, and manufacturing instrumentation all need secure network integration and regular backups. We support integration with Empower, LabVantage, Benchling, and the instrument-specific systems your lab depends on.

Why Choose LayerLogix?

Serving businesses throughout the Greater Houston area including Houston, The Woodlands, Spring, Katy, Sugar Land, Conroe, Pearland, Dallas, Austin.

Inspection-Ready IT at All Times

When the FDA arrives for a pre-approval inspection or your notified body drops in for an ISO 13485 audit, your IT documentation, validation evidence, and access logs need to be ready immediately. We maintain that readiness as a continuous service — not a pre-audit scramble.

Accelerate Time to Market

Delays in validation, data integrity issues, or failed audits can push your product launch back by quarters. Our validated, compliance-first IT approach removes IT as a source of regulatory delay so your clinical and commercial milestones stay on schedule.

Protect Clinical Trial Data

Clinical trial data is irreplaceable and heavily regulated. Our backup, replication, and integrity controls protect that data against ransomware, hardware failure, and accidental deletion — with chain-of-custody documentation that satisfies sponsors and regulators.

Scale From Startup to Commercial

We support biotech companies from seed-stage startups working out of JLabs @ TMC through commercial manufacturers shipping to global markets. Our managed services scale with you — adding validated systems, compliance scope, and global sites as you grow.

Reduce Compliance Risk & Cost

Compliance failures result in 483 observations, warning letters, import alerts, and consent decrees. Building compliance into your IT from day one is dramatically cheaper than remediating findings after an inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have experience with FDA-regulated IT environments?
Yes. We support Houston-area life sciences companies operating under FDA 21 CFR Part 11, Part 820 (Quality System Regulation), and ISO 13485. We understand GAMP 5 categorization, validation lifecycle, change control, and the specific documentation FDA and notified body inspectors look for.
Can you perform IQ/OQ/PQ validation for our systems?
Yes. We execute Installation, Operational, and Performance Qualification for infrastructure components, supporting applications, and hosted environments. We produce the validation protocols, executed test scripts, traceability matrices, and summary reports your Quality unit needs to release the system for GxP use.
How do you ensure data integrity under ALCOA+?
Through tamper-evident storage, enforced audit trails on all regulated systems, role-based access controls with segregation of duties, time synchronization against authoritative sources, immutable backups, and documented change control. Every GxP system we manage is evaluated against ALCOA+ principles — Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate, and Complete, Consistent, Enduring, Available.
Do you work with companies inside the Texas Medical Center?
Yes. We support biotech companies at JLabs @ TMC, TMC3, and stand-alone labs across Houston. We're familiar with the data-use agreements, IRB requirements, and collaboration workflows between commercial BioTech and TMC academic institutions.
Can you support connected medical devices and post-market data?
Yes. We support the IT infrastructure behind software as a medical device (SaMD), connected devices, and post-market surveillance data pipelines — including the HIPAA, cybersecurity premarket submission considerations outlined in recent FDA guidance, and secure cloud infrastructure for device telemetry.
What about early-stage startups with limited budgets?
We structure services so early-stage biotech companies can start with essential compliance foundations and scale as they raise capital and approach commercialization. You get audit-ready infrastructure without paying for Big Pharma overhead.
