bersecurity in Medical Devices – A QA/RA Perspective

Cybersecurity is often seen as an IT or engineering issue—but in reality, regulators and auditors turn to QA and Regulatory Affairs professionals for evidence.

In this article (based on the podcast episode), we explore:

How to prepare cybersecurity documentation for audits and inspections

Building post-market processes for vulnerability handling and reporting

Linking cybersecurity with standards (ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 62304, ISO 27001…)

Managing supplier and open-source component risks

Implementing and maintaining an SBOM

Key trends like the NIS2 Directive and the EU AI Act

👉 We finish with a practical checklist for QA/RA teams to assess their readiness today.

Cybersecurity isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing regulators you are in control.
