Lifecycle scope
What's in your 510(k) cybersecurity package
Premarket to postmarket — one senior team owns every cybersecurity artifact the FDA reviewer will open.
01
FDA 2026 Final Guidance aligned
Built to the February 2026 final premarket cybersecurity guidance and Section 524B(b)(1)-(3). Reviewer-ready format, not raw findings.
02
eSTAR-ready sections
Cybersecurity content drops directly into eSTAR - no reformatting, no missing attachments, no acceptance-checklist surprises.
03
SBOM with VEX
Machine-readable SPDX or CycloneDX SBOM, NTIA minimum elements (now stewarded by CISA), plus VEX statements for every CVE in your shipping configuration.
04
STRIDE threat model
End-to-end system threat model with multi-patient harm, updateability, and use-environment views. Aligned to AAMI TIR57 / ANSI/AAMI SW96.
05
Pen test sized for 510(k)
Device, cloud, mobile, and wireless attack surfaces tested independently. Findings mapped to your threat model with remediation tracking.
06
Unlimited retests included
Fixed fee. Retests are included until risks are mitigated and the cybersecurity section is reviewer-ready. No per-retest invoices.
Common FDA findings
The 510(k) cybersecurity findings we see most often
Every one of these has shown up in a real FDA 510(k) deficiency letter or acceptance-checklist hold. We close them before you submit.
SBOM missing NTIA minimum elements
Component supplier, version, and known-unknowns fields incomplete or missing. Reviewer cannot evaluate vulnerability exposure - automatic deficiency.
Threat model not traceable to mitigations
STRIDE entries exist but no mapping to security controls, test evidence, or residual risk. Reviewer asks for the full SW96 / TIR57 traceability matrix.
Pen test scope too narrow
Only the device firmware was tested; cloud, mobile companion, and wireless interfaces were skipped. Reviewer requires the full attack surface.
No Section 524B(b)(1) postmarket plan
Premarket package missing a monitoring + coordinated vulnerability disclosure plan. Required for every cyber device since March 2023.
Cybersecurity labeling missing
No customer security guide, no SBOM disclosure, no end-of-support communication. Reviewer cites missing transparency under 524B(b)(2).
Architecture views incomplete
Global, multi-patient harm, and updateability views missing or inconsistent with the threat model. Reviewer cannot evaluate reasonable assurance.
