I am launching a bi-monthly compliance newsletter--a curated publication built for the professionals responsible for making serialization work in the real world. The first issue drops September 16, and it’s designed to do what we do best: simplify complexity, clarify regulatory noise, and move businesses toward action.
Real World Reporting
LSPedia is in the field with customers every day. We see what’s working, what’s stalling, and where the risks are rising.
Our August 2025 DSCSA Industry Survey confirmed that DSCSA enforcement is real: One in five respondents have been inspected or audited in the past 90 days. A majority of those audits were triggered by state-level enforcement—yes, the Boards of Pharmacy are knocking on doors, and the FDA is right behind them.
And yet, confusion persists. What’s in scope? What’s exempt? What’s “critical”? Who’s responsible for what?
I launched this newsletter because you need the answers—and your business needs clarity.
What’s Inside the September 2025 Issue
Our compliance briefing this month covers DSCSA enforcement. Here’s a taste of what’s inside:
- Enforcement reality check: Who’s being inspected, what they’re finding, and how it’s escalating.
- Exemption misconceptions: What small dispensers can defer (and what they can’t).
- Serialization + EPCIS = mandatory: If you’re not exchanging data at the package level, you’re not compliant.
- Verification systems: Why VRS response isn’t optional and why “off-the-shelf” SOPs won’t cut it.
- Dispensers, get ready: New rules for returns, exemptions ending, and multi-state counterfeit crackdowns.
- What’s at stake: Legal, financial, and reputational risks from non-compliance.
- How LSPedia helps: Trusted technology, real workflows, verifiable results.
Whether you’re audited next week or six months from now, your DSCSA program should be ready to pass without causing an org-wide scramble. This newsletter helps you prepare.
Who It’s For
This newsletter is built for:
- C-suite execs who want to protect enterprise value and avoid business risks
- Compliance officers who need to stay inspection-ready
- Supply chain leaders tasked with serialization strategy
- Pharmacy operators balancing workflow and compliance
- Customer-facing teams who need perspective from their trading partners
Read it. Forward it. Use it.
Send it to your customers. Bring it to your next project call. Reference it in your next SOP review or DSCSA committee meeting.
Our team wrote this to drive conversations—not just awareness. Our goal is to reinforce the urgency of serialization adoption, EPCIS readiness, and SOP alignment.
