Full-Service FDA Premarket Cybersecurity for Wearables & RPM
End-to-end FDA premarket cybersecurity for medical wearables and remote-patient-monitoring - BLE, mobile, cloud, and 524B-aligned eSTAR documentation.
Last reviewed March 2026 · Reviewed against the FDA Feb 3, 2026 final premarket cybersecurity guidance.
Wearables and RPM devices look simple - sensor, BLE, phone, cloud - but the premarket cybersecurity package is anything but, because the device is mostly software living on a phone you don't control and a cloud you operate. Our full-service premarket package for this segment treats the system as the wearable + the mobile app + the cloud + the clinician portal, and builds the SPDF, threat model, SBOM, pen testing, and architecture views to span all four.
The threat model assumes the mobile app is compromised by default - because for a consumer device that's a realistic baseline - and forces the question of which controls actually live on the wearable vs. the phone. We've found that most wearable submissions over-trust the phone; our threat model pushes the integrity-critical controls back onto the wearable where reviewers expect them. The SBOM covers the wearable firmware, the mobile-app dependencies (more numerous than teams realize), and the cloud backend. Pen testing exercises BLE pairing, the device-to-cloud path through a compromised phone, and the clinician portal for IDOR and cross-tenant leakage. Security architecture views include the multi-patient harm view explicitly, because RPM is a multi-patient cloud architecture by definition. Package is eSTAR-ready and aligned to 524B + the 2026 final guidance.

Full-Service FDA Premarket Cybersecurity engagement, end to end
Four phases, fixed fee, scoped to wearables / rpm architecture from kickoff onward.
-
01
Submission gap check
Existing artifacts mapped against Section 524B(b) and the Feb 2026 guidance; gaps flagged in one document.
-
02
Artifact production
Threat model, SBOM + VEX, SPDF, architecture views, cybersecurity risk assessment, and labeling produced or upgraded as needed.
-
03
Pen test + evidence
Independent pen test executed and findings closed before lock so the report ships clean inside the submission.
-
04
eSTAR-ready handoff
Every artifact delivered in the exact attachment format reviewers expect; we stay on call through the review cycle.
What we see in Wearables / RPM full-service fda premarket cybersecurity
The patterns we hit in this segment, this service, again and again.
-
Wearable integrity controls delegated to mobile app
App enforces sample validity, device authenticity. Reviewer asks 'and if the app is compromised?' - gap on file.
-
Multi-patient harm view not provided
Architecture view shows single-patient flow only. Cloud serves thousands; multi-patient view is a 524B explicit deliverable.
-
Mobile-app SBOM absent
Firmware SBOM only. Mobile-app SBOM expected for any submission where the app is part of the indications for use.
-
Clinician portal not pen-tested
Pen test scope was wearable + BLE only. Cloud and clinician portal excluded; reviewer asks why.
"Blue Goat Cyber helped us navigate our first end-to-end cybersecurity testing for our wearable medical device. Their communication was excellent, their timeline exceeded expectations, and their report helped us achieve FDA clearance without any additional questions. It was a truly seamless experience."

Standards that apply
The Wearables / RPM baseline, plus the call-outs that matter for full-service fda premarket cybersecurity in this segment.
Segment-specific call-outs
FDA 524B + 2026 final premarket guidance
RPM is the canonical multi-patient cloud architecture - multi-patient harm view is a hard deliverable.
ANSI/AAMI SW96
Threat-model rigor expectations for consumer-grade interfaces in a regulated context are anchored here.
What's not in scope
We scope tightly on purpose. These items are either out-of-scope by design or belong in a separate engagement - we'll tell you up front, not after kickoff.
- Quality system buildout (ISO 13485 / QMSR) - separate engagement
- Clinical or biocompatibility sections of the submission
- Regulatory filing on your behalf as agent of record
