Standard Gap Analysis (SGA) IPC’s product offering of SGA – Standard Gap Analysis is part of the validation services that IPC offers to its clients. SGA is an offer for the customer to pre-determine his preparedness to go for a full-fledged audit or not.  An audit when ordered results in a pass or fail situation. If the audit fails, not only the whole of the exercise becomes a waste of money and other resources, it projects the company in a very poor light.
