    FDA RTA - Cybersecurity

    FDA Refuse to Accept (RTA) for Cybersecurity? Resubmit in Weeks

    An RTA resets the FDA clock to zero. Every week before you refile is a week your competitors keep shipping - we move in days, not months.

    An RTA on cybersecurity grounds means your 510(k) never made it past the FDA acceptance checklist - usually a missing SPDF, SBOM, threat model, or Section 524B attestation. We rebuild the cybersecurity section eSTAR-ready and get you resubmitted fast. Free 24-hour RTA review.

    • RTA checklist gap analysis in 24 hours
    • Complete SPDF rebuild (eSTAR-ready)
    • SBOM (SPDX or CycloneDX) with VEX
    • STRIDE threat model + risk assessment
    • Penetration test report (device, cloud, wireless)
    • Section 524B attestation + traceability
