    How it works

    What a year of postmarket cybersecurity looks like

    An ongoing annual engagement run by a named senior engineer - not a platform subscription.

    1. 01

      1 · Onboarding

      We audit your current SBOM, document your threat landscape, and set up monitoring infrastructure tailored to your device fleet.

    2. 02

      2 · Monitoring

      Continuous SBOM tracking, CVE alerting, and threat monitoring run in the background - flagged to your team when action is required.

    3. 03

      3 · Response

      When a vulnerability is disclosed or an incident occurs, we manage the triage, remediation, and FDA notification process.

    4. 04

      4 · Reporting

      Quarterly compliance reports give you a documented record of your postmarket cybersecurity programme - audit-ready at any point.

    What's included

    Reviewer-ready deliverables in one engagement

    Every fda postmarket cybersecurity engagement ships with the artifacts FDA reviewers expect to see - traceable, complete, and aligned with current guidance.

    • TPLC Partnership: Annual retainer covering one product line through Total Product Lifecycle - SBOM monitoring, CISA-KEV tracking, full CVD process operation, quarterly penetration tests, and ongoing FDA/EU regulatory updates. One predictable fee, one accountable team, zero gaps between cleared release and end-of-support.
    • SBOM monitoring: Section 524B requires manufacturers to maintain and update SBOMs continuously. We track every component for newly disclosed CVEs and flag them before they become reportable vulnerabilities.
    • CVD program (Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure): We manage the full CVD process - researcher intake, triage, fix timeline, and FDA notification - so your team doesn't face a public disclosure event without a prepared response. FDA's 30-day notification requirement is built into every engagement.
    • Threat monitoring: We proactively monitor your device's ecosystem 24/7 - not alert-driven, team-driven.
    • Incident response: Response plans aligned with FDA's 30-day vulnerability notification requirement - with audit-ready documentation from day one.
    • Patch validation: Every patch goes through validation testing before deployment - so you can demonstrate to FDA that the fix didn't introduce new risk.
    Relevant standards

    Why postmarket matters

    FDA clearance is only the beginning

    New threats emerge daily as your medical device operates in a connected world. Without a proactive postmarket cybersecurity strategy, the stakes are high.

    Regulatory Risk

    Non-compliance with FDA postmarket cybersecurity guidance can result in warning letters, recalls, or enforcement action.

    Patient Safety Threats

    Cyber vulnerabilities can impair device performance, putting lives at risk in clinical environments.

    Business Impact

    Breaches damage your brand, delay product updates, and increase operational costs significantly.

    How Blue Goat Cyber stacks up

    A transparent, side-by-side look at what you actually get

    No vague promises. Compare us to building an internal team or hiring a typical vendor.

    1. Postmarket Capabilities

    The ongoing cybersecurity work that keeps cleared devices safe and compliant.

    Capability Blue Goat Cyber ★ Internal Team Typical Vendor
    Annual Penetration Test
    Internal teams almost never have offensive security skill sets in-house
    Annual Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
    Tools exist, but tuning, triage, and patient-safety context are the hard parts
    Continuous SBOM Monitoring
    Spreadsheets break down at scale
    Real-Time CVE & Vulnerability Alerts
    NVD feeds are free; correlating them to your devices 24/7 is the work
    CVD Portal Setup & Operation
    Standing up a CVD program requires legal, comms, and triage workflows
    Patient-Safety Risk Triage (ISO 14971 ↔ Cyber)
    Bridging cyber and risk management requires both disciplines on one team
    CISA / ICS-CERT Coordination & Advisories
    Incident Response & Recovery Playbooks
    Most internal IR plans aren't built for medical device patient-safety scenarios
    Legacy Device Mitigation Strategy
    Compensating controls for unpatchable devices is specialist work
    Wireless / BLE / RF Postmarket Surveillance
    Requires specialized RF tooling and expertise
    Cloud Backend & Mobile Companion App Monitoring

    2. FDA & Regulatory Support

    What actually keeps you compliant after clearance.

    Capability Blue Goat Cyber ★ Internal Team Typical Vendor
    FDA 2026 Postmarket Guidance Aligned
    Operationalizing it is months of work
    MDR (21 CFR 803) Reporting Decisions
    RA/QA teams handle MDRs but rarely have cyber-event reporting experience
    Part 806 Correction & Removal Reporting
    QMS Integration (21 CFR 820, ISO 13485)
    Your QMS team can wire it in, but cyber-specific procedures need to be authored
    AAMI SW96 / TIR57 / TIR97 Alignment
    EU MDR / IVDR Postmarket Surveillance (MDCG 2019-16)
    Audit-Ready Evidence & Reporting
    Doable internally, but eats hundreds of hours per audit cycle

    3. Business Terms

    How we work, and why it removes risk for you.

    Capability Blue Goat Cyber ★ Internal Team Typical Vendor
    Annual Fixed-Fee Cost
    Internal cost = 1-2 FTE salaries + tooling, typically 3-5x our annual fee
    GoatWatch Portal Included
    Building an equivalent in-house is a multi-quarter project
    250+ Devices Successfully Cleared
    Track record across startups to Intuitive Surgical, bioMérieux, Inogen, Natera
    Senior Expert Assigned (No Junior Handoff)
    Hiring a senior medical device security engineer is hard and expensive
    Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVOSB)
    Federally certified, advantageous for federal MedTech contracts
    Full-Service (No Subcontractors)
    Start This Week (Not Next Quarter)
    Hiring and ramping an internal team takes 6-12 months

    The honest comparison? It's not close.
