Cannabis Compliance Audit Program
Take corrective action early, improve operational controls, and reduce regulatory, quality, and business risk.
GapCross helps cannabis operators proactively strengthen compliance by addressing state regulations, aligning with cGMP requirements in 21 CFR 111, and incorporating key preventive controls from 21 CFR 117.
This audit program helps organizations quickly identify compliance gaps, operational deficiencies, and hidden risks before they lead to incidents, complaints, or costly recalls.
Standards alignment
The Cannabis Compliance audit program integrates state regulations with current Good Manufacturing Practice from 21 CFR 111 for Dietary Supplements, and all of the 21 CFR 117 key elements for Human Food from Subparts B, C, F, and G.
Who this audit program is for
This audit program is designed specifically for organizations responsible for cannabis product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance, including:
Cannabis cultivators, manufacturers, processors, and packagers
Quality, compliance, and regulatory affairs leaders
Medical and adult-use cannabis operators
GMP, GACP, and QMS consultants serving the cannabis industry
Teams preparing for internal audits, certification audits, or regulatory inspections
What problems it solves
Cannabis compliance requirements often exist, but not in a way that is easy to apply, verify, or sustain.
Common challenges include:
GMP expectations scattered across regulations, guidance documents, and SOPs
Inconsistent interpretation of cannabis-specific GMP requirements
Reactive compliance driven by incidents or inspections
Limited visibility into operational risk between audits
Corrective actions that are documented but not effectively tracked or closed
