Cybersecurity Support for Connected Medical Devices

Prepare the cybersecurity architecture, evidence, SBOM, testing, and postmarket documentation needed to support your FDA 510(k) submission.

The challenge

Secure connectivity is not the same as submission readiness

Many teams already have certificates, encrypted communication, user roles, and a penetration test. But the 510(k) cybersecurity package requires much more: threat modeling, risk assessment, architecture views, SBOM, vulnerability analysis, test evidence, update strategy, labeling, and postmarket cybersecurity planning.

Security controls exist, but are not connected to FDA-ready evidence
Threat model does not match the real connected architecture
SBOM is incomplete or not product-level
Vulnerabilities are listed but not assessed in product context
Update and patching process is not fully documented
Cybersecurity tests are not traceable to requirements and risks
Platform, device, modem, portal, and third-party evidence are fragmented
What FDA expects

A connected cybersecurity story from threat to postmarket control

Your submission should show a consistent chain from cybersecurity threats to implemented controls, verified test results, residual-risk decisions, labeling, and postmarket monitoring.

Threats Risks Requirements Architecture Controls Testing SBOM Vulnerability Assessment Updates Postmarket Plan

The package should describe the actual product, not a generic security model. The architecture, requirements, SBOM, vulnerability assessment, test reports, and postmarket plan all need to describe the same released system.

Support scope

Cybersecurity support for your connected-device 510(k) package

We work across the connected layer of your product — device, firmware, cloud platform, portal, and the software supply chain behind them.

Each area below becomes concrete, traceable cybersecurity evidence you can carry directly into the submission.

We support the connected-device cybersecurity evidence package. Your regulatory, quality, and cybersecurity teams remain responsible for final strategy, approvals, QMS records, and submission decisions.

Cyber-device scope and connected-system boundary
Threat model and trust-boundary mapping
Cybersecurity risk-management inputs
Testable security requirements and acceptance criteria
Security architecture views
Device identity, authentication, authorization, and access-control evidence
Secure communication and certificate lifecycle documentation
SBOM and software component evidence for the connected platform
Vulnerability and unresolved-anomaly assessment support
Updateability and patchability evidence
Cybersecurity test planning and technical reports
Postmarket cybersecurity monitoring and reporting workflows
Evidence package

What you get

Not abstract consulting — concrete materials your team can carry straight into the submission package.

Connected security architecture documentation
A product-level view of device, firmware, cloud platform, portal, and third-party components with their security boundaries.
Device-to-cloud data and control-flow diagrams
How data and commands move across the system, and where each trust boundary and control sits.
Threat model inputs and trust-boundary mapping
Assets, threats, and entry points mapped to the real connected architecture — not a generic template.
Security requirements with acceptance criteria
Testable requirements traceable to threats and risks, each with a defined pass condition.
Cybersecurity control evidence
Documentation showing each implemented control and how it addresses its associated risk.
Authentication, authorization, and certificate-event reports
Verifiable records of identity, access decisions, and certificate lifecycle events.
Platform SBOM and component-support information
Component inventory with versions and support status for the connected platform scope.
Vulnerability applicability and mitigation evidence
Each known vulnerability assessed in product context, with applicability and mitigation status.
Update rollout and patching visibility reports
Evidence of how updates are delivered, tracked, and confirmed across the device fleet.
Security-event and audit-trail reports
Time-stamped security events and audit trails ready to reference in your submission.
Traceability matrix: threat → requirement → control → test → result
A single chain proving every threat leads to a control, a test, and a verified result.
Platform documentation for the 510(k) cybersecurity section
Structured platform evidence aligned to the cybersecurity section of the submission.
How the engagement works

From security controls to FDA-ready cybersecurity evidence

A structured engagement that moves from understanding your connected system to handing your teams cybersecurity evidence aligned with the submission — four stages, each building on the last.

Assess

Review your connected architecture, software components, cloud role, update process, security controls, and current documentation gaps.

Map

Define assets, threats, trust boundaries, cybersecurity risks, security requirements, and the evidence needed for each control.

Build evidence

Configure reporting, event models, SBOM inputs, vulnerability evidence, update visibility, and cybersecurity test support.

Package

Help your engineering, cybersecurity, quality, and regulatory teams align platform evidence with 510(k) documentation and QMS records.

Unique device identity
Secure device-to-cloud communication
Certificate and credential lifecycle support
Device and user access control
Tenant and environment separation
Device quarantine and revocation workflows
Security-event collection
Audit trails
Firmware and configuration inventory
Update rollout visibility
Failed-update and offline-device tracking
Platform SBOM and vulnerability evidence
APIs and technical evidence exports
