Is this aligned with current FDA cybersecurity expectations?

Yes. Mobile Application 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 commitment. 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.

Attack surface

Mobile companion app surface

A medical-device companion app is rarely just a UI. It carries pairing material, holds patient data at rest, brokers BLE traffic, and talks to a cloud API that often has more privilege than the device itself.

01App binary (iOS / Android)
02Local storage (Keychain / Keystore, SQLite, files)
03BLE / Wi-Fi broker layer
04Pairing + bonding material handling
05Cloud API client + auth tokens
06Push / background-task channels
07Third-party SDKs (analytics, crash, ML)
08OS interop (clipboard, share, screen capture)

Layers shown outermost (top) to innermost (bottom). Dashed rows are part of the surrounding system but out of scope for this view.

Reference

Notable incidents

Public premarket cybersecurity history

Recalls, CISA ICS-MA advisories, and disclosed research that shape what reviewers ask about - and what this engagement is built to cover.

OWASP·Ongoing

OWASP MASVS / MSTG as reviewer baseline

OWASP MASVS is the de facto baseline reviewers compare mobile evidence against. A pen test that cannot point at MASVS coverage is now flagged.
