Lifecycle scope
What's in your FDA postmarket program
Premarket to postmarket. One senior team owns every cybersecurity artifact the FDA reviewer will open.
01
Postmarket guidance aligned
Built to FDA Postmarket Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices guidance and Section 524B(b)(1) - controlled, uncontrolled risk, and compensating controls all covered.
02
Coordinated vulnerability disclosure
Public CVD policy, intake workflow, triage SLA, and disclosure timelines - modeled on ISO/IEC 29147 and 30111, accepted by FDA reviewers.
03
SBOM monitoring + VEX
Your shipping SBOM monitored against NVD/CISA feeds. New CVEs triaged, VEX statements regenerated, and customer comms drafted on a fixed cadence.
04
Patch + update governance
Decision framework for emergency patches, planned updates, and end-of-support - every decision documented and audit-ready.
05
FDA reporting workflows
When a vulnerability triggers an FDA report (uncontrolled risk, MDR-eligible event), the workflow, template, and timeline are already in place.
06
Fixed fee, annual program
Monthly retainer or annual fixed fee. No per-CVE invoicing. Every quarter you get a written postmarket program review.
Common FDA findings
Postmarket gaps we find on most programs
When we audit an existing postmarket cybersecurity program, these are the gaps that show up first - and the ones FDA inspectors notice.
No CVD intake or public policy
No security@ address, no published disclosure policy, no triage SLA. Researchers either go public or go away - both are bad outcomes.
SBOM shipped but not monitored
An SBOM was generated for the submission and never looked at again. New CVEs against shipped components are not being detected, scored, or VEX'd.
No uncontrolled-risk decision path
When a vulnerability crosses the uncontrolled-risk threshold, there is no documented path to an FDA postmarket report - so it does not get filed.
Patches not authenticated end-to-end
Software updates ship without signature verification on the device side, or without rollback. A 524B(b)(1) finding waiting to happen.
Legacy devices with no end-of-support plan
Devices past their supported life are still in clinical use, with no documented compensating controls or sunset communication to customers.
Customer comms ad-hoc and inconsistent
Every CVE triggers a fresh internal debate about what to tell customers. No template, no cadence, no audit trail of what was disclosed when.
Blue Goat Cyber vs. the alternatives
