# Compliance Gap Analysis Software for Life Sciences | Qualio

Clause-by-clause gap analysis of your procedures against ISO 13485, cGMP, the FDA QMSR and every standard in the catalog, each gap with a severity and a recommended fix, reassessed when the fix lands, on the QMS you already run.

## Find the gap, fix it and prove it closed

Qualio assesses your procedures against each standard clause by clause, flags every gap with a severity and a recommended fix, and reassesses when the fix lands.

## Your whole QMS, read against each clause

Qualio reads your procedures and records, finds the ones that answer each requirement and attaches them as evidence, so the framework arrives populated for your review.

## The serious gaps come first

Each gap carries a severity and a recommended fix, so the ones that would fail an audit are fixed first.

## Add a standard without starting over

A control that answers several standards is reused in each, so adding a standard shows which requirements you already meet.

## The next run proves the gap closed

Fix the procedure and Qualio reassesses the clauses it touches and confirms the gap closed. When the auditor comes, the pack exports by clause, every control and its evidence under it, with a report of the requirements, controls, gaps and tasks.

## Platform connections

### Quality Management

A gap becomes a task that targets the document or supplier involved, so the fix shows up where the work happens.

### MasterControl and Veeva

Qualio assesses the records in the QMS you already run, so you see the gaps without moving a document.

### Copilot

It drafts the fix from the recommendation: the procedure update, the change control, the CAPA or the tasks for the people who own them. Your team reviews and approves.

## Frameworks

Every standard in the catalog, assessed clause by clause. See the [frameworks catalog](/compliance-platform/frameworks).

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is a compliance gap analysis?

A compliance gap analysis compares what a standard requires with what your quality system defines and records, and lists where they fall short. Companies run one before certification, when adding a standard and before audits. In Qualio the analysis runs clause by clause against your own documents and evidence, and each gap comes with a recommended fix.

### How do you comply with several standards at once?

Map each requirement to the controls that meet it, and reuse a control wherever the standards overlap, so one procedure and its evidence answer several clauses. In Qualio one control can sit in many frameworks, and adding a standard shows which requirements your existing controls already meet.

### What is the difference between a gap analysis and an internal audit?

A gap analysis checks whether your documented system meets a standard’s requirements. An internal audit checks whether people follow that system in practice. Most teams run the gap analysis first, fix what it finds, then audit. In Qualio the gap analysis runs against your procedures and evidence, so the internal audit can focus on practice.

### Can you assess documents that live in another QMS?

Yes. Qualio can assess records held in [MasterControl](/integrations/mastercontrol-veeva) or Veeva, so a company that is not moving its QMS can still run a clause-by-clause gap analysis and track the gaps in Qualio. The documents stay where they are, in the system your team already uses.

### Can you build a framework for an internal or customer standard?

Yes. The custom framework builder takes the text of a standard held as a Qualio document, creates its requirements, maps the controls you already have and adds new ones where needed. Teams use it for internal standards, customer requirements and document sets such as the eCTD.

## Which standard worries you most?

Pick it, upload one procedure, and see the gaps against it, each with its fix. Or book the demo and bring the whole set.
