Case Study

FDA 510(k) Cybersecurity Remediation

HealthcareClinical Device Startup
The problem

Challenge

Cloud-hosted clinical platform approaching an FDA 510(k) submission with critical security and compliance gaps. A gap between the cybersecurity documentation an FDA submission requires and the state of the platform underneath it.

What I did

Approach

Ran a comprehensive security and compliance audit across cloud infrastructure, application security, and data governance. Identified and prioritized critical vulnerabilities. Led modernization of the legacy clinical portal to HIPAA-compliant, audit-ready architecture on current infrastructure.

Outcome

Result

Cybersecurity remediation carried through to 510(k) submission. Audited submission security claims against the shipped product and reconciled the documentation to as-built behavior. Used production traffic to establish which interfaces were genuinely in use and retired the rest, reducing attack surface ahead of testing. Scoped and managed independent third-party penetration testing and drove findings to closure. Also delivered a substantial reduction in cloud infrastructure spend in the opening weeks of the engagement.
