FDA 510(k) Compliance Services Egypt

 

Advanced Cybersecurity, VAPT & Compliance Solutions by Cyberintelsys

Introduction

The digital transformation of Egypt’s healthcare sector has accelerated significantly, driven by the adoption of connected medical devices, IoT-enabled clinical systems, smart hospital platforms, and telemedicine technologies. As medical devices increasingly rely on software, cloud connectivity, and data exchange, cybersecurity has become one of the most critical pillars of FDA 510(k) approval and global market entry.

This shift has created a strong need for medical device manufacturers in Egypt—including OEMs, startups, digital health innovators, and healthcare technology integrators—to implement rigorous Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT) in accordance with the latest FDA 510(k) Cybersecurity Guidance, 2023–2024 expectations, and international standards.

Cyberintelsys, a global cybersecurity and medical device security consulting provider, supports Egyptian manufacturers in achieving end-to-end cybersecurity readiness, ensuring products meet FDA cybersecurity requirements, withstand cyber threats, and protect patient safety.

This comprehensive blog explains how FDA 510(k) VAPT, threat modeling, SBOM review, exploit simulation, DIU testing, and secure lifecycle controls are essential for compliance—and how Cyberintelsys delivers these services with unmatched expertise.

1. Why Cybersecurity Is Now Mandatory for FDA 510(k) Submission

The U.S. FDA now requires all connected medical devices to include detailed cybersecurity evidence as part of their premarket submission. This includes:

  • Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing reports

  • Threat modeling aligned with TARA, MITRE, STRIDE, or DREAD

  • Secure architecture and risk management documentation

  • Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)

  • Verification of patching processes

  • Evidence that security controls cannot be bypassed

  • Proof of exploit-resistant communication and data protection

Egyptian manufacturers aiming to enter the U.S. or international markets must treat cybersecurity not as an optional enhancement, but as a regulatory prerequisite.

Cyberintelsys helps ensure your device meets the FDA’s cybersecurity expectations before submission.

2. What FDA 510(k) Requires for VAPT & Cybersecurity Validation

 Secure Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Analysis

SBOMs must show:

  • All third-party and open-source components

  • Known vulnerabilities (CVEs)

  • Patching and update pathways

  • Supply-chain risk controls

Cyberintelsys offers SBOM creation, validation, and vulnerability mapping to meet FDA expectations.

3. VAPT for Medical Devices in Egypt – Why It’s Essential

Egypt’s medical device manufacturers face rising cyber risks as devices become more connected. Threats include:

  • Remote tampering with treatment settings

  • Data breaches affecting PHI and clinical records

  • Malware spreading through hospital networks

  • Device downtime affecting patient outcomes

  • Unauthorized cloud access

  • Compromise of mobile companion apps

  • Exploitation of weak encryption in wireless protocols

Cyberintelsys ensures Egyptian devices remain secure, compliant, and competitive in global markets.
