Compliance Intelligence

The True Cost of Compliance Failures

Pharmaceutical Example: The €2.8 Billion Mistake

A major pharmaceutical company discovered post-launch that their drug manufacturing process violated a recently updated FDA guidance. The fix required:

• Complete process revalidation: €50M
• 18-month market withdrawal: €2.4B in lost sales
• Regulatory penalties: €380M
• Permanent market share loss to competitors

Automotive Example: The Recall Cascade

An automotive OEM's airbag didn't meet updated UN R94 crash test requirements due to a specification change they missed. Result:

• 850,000 vehicles recalled globally
• €450M in direct costs
• 30% stock price drop
• 2-year delay for next model launch

Medical Device Example: The Documentation Disaster

A medical device manufacturer couldn't prove compliance during an FDA audit because test reports were scattered across 6 systems. Despite being compliant, they faced:

• 6-month stop-ship order
• €15M in expedited documentation
• Loss of major hospital contracts

Universal Compliance Challenges

Regulatory Velocity: Standards change faster than organizations can track. The average enterprise faces 200+ regulatory updates annually affecting their products.

Cross-Functional Complexity: Compliance touches design, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and legal. No single person has the full picture.

Evidence Archaeology: Proving compliance requires documents from multiple systems, often years old, in specific formats regulators demand.

Global Maze: The same product needs different compliance strategies for US, EU, China, and other markets, with conflicting requirements.
