    What's in your 510(k) cybersecurity package

    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.

    eSTAR-ready sections

    Cybersecurity content drops directly into eSTAR - no reformatting, no missing attachments, no acceptance-checklist surprises.

    SBOM with VEX

    Machine-readable SPDX or CycloneDX SBOM, NTIA minimum elements, plus VEX statements for every CVE in your shipping configuration.

    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.

    Pen test sized for 510(k)

    Device, cloud, mobile, and wireless attack surfaces tested independently. Findings mapped to your threat model with remediation tracking.

    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.

    Blue Goat Cyber vs. the alternatives

    What you actually get versus a generic 510(k) shop or assembling the cyber attachment in-house.

    Threat model + SBOM + VEX + pen test All four, one integrated package Subcontracted across vendors Multiple owners, integration gaps
    Cyber-deficiency rate on submissions Zero across 250+ Variable, often triggers AI letters First-submission risk
    Pricing model Fixed fee, unlimited revisions until accepted Hourly + change orders Hidden internal cost
