    What's in your hold-letter response

    Hold-letter triage in 24 hours

    Senior reviewer reads your letter, maps every finding to required artifacts, and returns a written closure plan with effort estimate.

    FDA 2026 guidance aligned

    Every response is written against the February 2026 final premarket cybersecurity guidance and Section 524B(b)(1)-(3).

    eSTAR-ready submission update

    Updated cybersecurity content drops directly into eSTAR - no reformatting, no missing attachments, no second hold.

    Targeted, not exhaustive

    We pen-test, threat-model, and update only what the FDA asked about - fastest path to lifting the hold.

    Direct reviewer-channel format

    Cover letter and redlines structured the way cybersecurity reviewers want: finding → response → evidence → page reference.

    Fixed fee, hold-to-close

    One quote covers the response and any follow-up exchanges with the FDA until the cybersecurity hold is lifted.
