Is this aligned with current FDA cybersecurity expectations?

Yes. API Penetration Testing is delivered against the FDA's 2026 premarket cybersecurity guidance, ANSI/AAMI SW96, ISO 14971, IEC 62304, and IEC 81001-5-1 - and structured to land cleanly in eSTAR.

How is the engagement priced and how long does it take?

Fixed-fee, scoped after a free 30-minute Discovery Session. Most premarket engagements (penetration testing, threat modeling, SBOM, deficiency response) complete in 4-8 weeks. We typically start within 1-2 weeks of contract signature.

What if the FDA still pushes back after we submit?

We back our work with a no failed-clearance guarantee. If your submission is delayed because of a cybersecurity deficiency in our deliverables, we resolve it at no additional cost until your device is cleared.
