The answer to your auditors’ “CAPA effectiveness” findings.

Auditors increasingly cite CAPA programs for closing actions without proving they worked. DatumKeep sequences every action and requires verification evidence before close — so effectiveness is demonstrable, not asserted.

Action sequencing

From root cause to a fix that holds.

No action without a cause

Every action inherits a verified root cause.

An action taken before the cause is understood is a guess. In DatumKeep, CAPA is anchored to a completed, peer-reviewed RCA — so what you are fixing is the actual cause, not a symptom.

  • RCA is a prerequisite — actions carry the evidence behind the finding
  • Sequenced from SOP update, to training, to field verification
  • Verification before close — no production evidence, no closure
