Blue Goat Cyber’s Origin

Blue Goat Cyber was founded by Christian Espinosa, a cybersecurity expert with over a decade of experience in medical device security. After launching Alpine Security in 2014 and selling it in 2020, Christian’s personal health scare in 2022, involving a life-saving medical device, reignited his passion for securing devices that directly impact patient safety. This experience led to the founding of Blue Goat Cyber, focusing on medical device cybersecurity.

At Blue Goat Cyber, we specialize in helping medical device manufacturers navigate complex FDA regulations and implement the highest standards of cybersecurity. Our services include comprehensive Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) management, threat modeling, Static Application Security Testing (SAST), and penetration testing. These services are designed to address every aspect of a device’s security lifecycle, ensuring it meets FDA expectations for premarket and postmarket submissions.

We also offer vulnerability assessments, risk management reports, and continuous monitoring, providing manufacturers with the tools and insights needed to secure their devices from development through deployment. Our fixed-fee pricing model ensures transparency, with unlimited retests included until acceptable risk levels are achieved. Additionally, we guarantee FDA clearance for submissions related to cybersecurity—if any deficiencies arise, we resolve them at no additional cost.

As a service-disabled veteran-owned business, we bring a unique perspective and dedication to medical device security. Blue Goat Cyber has a 100% success rate, with all submissions cleared on the first attempt. Our processes are fully aligned with the FDA’s latest eSTAR guidance, ensuring regulatory compliance and patient safety.

Blue Goat Cyber is committed to making a meaningful impact in medical device cybersecurity, combining professional expertise with a personal commitment to safeguarding lives.

Blue Goat, a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOSB), stands at the forefront of cybersecurity, particularly in medical device security and penetration testing. Our team is extensively experienced and boasts a suite of prestigious certifications, emphasizing our proficiency in the latest cybersecurity techniques and strategies.

We are proud to highlight our team’s qualifications, which include but are not limited to:

  • CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)

  • OSWE (Offensive Security Web Expert)
  • OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional)

Our personnel are not only trained and certified, but also bring a wealth of real-world experience. This includes participation in United States government red teams and military cyber operations, both offensive and defensive. Additionally, our team is adept in conducting commercial cybersecurity assessments, audits, penetration testing, risk assessments, and incident response.

Our expertise is particularly notable in the realm of medical device manufacturing. We understand the critical importance of security in this sector and have conducted thorough penetration tests and assessments for various industries, including healthcare, aerospace & defense, education, and finance.

At Blue Goat, we offer a comprehensive suite of security services, adeptly handling web applications, embedded systems, cloud-based systems, and client-developed systems, with a special focus on medical devices and vendor-provided systems on client premises.

Our unique strength lies in our approach to business logic testing. We employ manual analysis to understand the application thoroughly, as automated tools often fall short in this area. This depth of understanding and our hands-on approach ensure that we deliver security and peace of mind to our clients in critical sectors.

We are a trusted partner with only one purpose – to help you succeed. We realize cybersecurity is probably not the main focus of your business and is often viewed as a “necessary evil.” We are not a “one-and-done” company. We value long-term relationships where we help you protect your data. We know if we add enough value for you, we will both succeed. Give us a chance.

  1. Our people. Our employees are extremely certified in their respective areas of expertise, believe in our mission, and have many years of experience with both the government and commercial sectors. We are passionate about helping you secure your data. 
  2. Our Processes. We take security seriously and use a holistic approach. Many competitors begin by searching for vulnerabilities with a microscope. We start with the big picture.
  3. Our services. We spend time writing our reports in a simple, easy-to-understand, and implement manner. We’re not impressed with competitors that generate thousand-page reports with lots of technical jargon that leaves you wondering, “What do I do with this”?

We value progress. We value relationships. We value attention to detail. We value aptitude. We value attitude. We value clear communication. We value a growth mindset. We value taking ownership. We value adaptability. We value stepping outside of our comfort zones. We value thinking outside the box. We value creativity and innovation. We value persistence. We value wellness. We value learning. We value success. We value the journey.
