Submission-ready SBOMs for FDA 524B.

The FDA requires a machine-readable SBOM in every 524B submission. Interlynk builds yours from the firmware you actually ship, with the component detail and exploitability data a reviewer will check. The same evidence supports your EU MDR technical file.

The problem

FDA 524B turns SBOMs into submission evidence.

FDA 524B turns SBOMs into submission evidence.

Section 524B requires manufacturers to submit a software bill of materials for cyber devices, keep vulnerability processes active, and provide evidence that cybersecurity was addressed across the product lifecycle.

The hard part is not producing one SBOM. The hard part is proving it matches the device build, stays current after release, and can be exported when a reviewer asks for the evidence trail.

Interlynk connects generation, validation, vulnerability intelligence, VEX, supplier SBOMs, and reporting so the 524B evidence is ready before the submission deadline.

Machine-readable SBOM

Generate CycloneDX or SPDX SBOMs with NTIA minimum elements, supplier names, versions, PURLs, hashes, and per-component evidence.

Vulnerability monitoring

Continuously watch every component for new CVEs, enrich findings with EPSS and KEV, and filter applicability with VEX.

Secure-by-design evidence

Map SBOM generation, review, vulnerability response, and supplier evidence into a traceable record for reviewers and auditors.

Audit & submission readiness

Export submission-ready SBOMs, vulnerability summaries, VEX status, and evidence for each device version in one queryable record.

Validate

Check SBOM completeness, identity quality, and minimum-element coverage before submission.

03

Monitor

Watch every released component for new vulnerabilities and maintain VEX applicability.

04

Report

Export reviewer-ready SBOM, risk, VEX, and evidence packages for each product version.

FDA 524B questions, answered.

What is FDA 524B?

FDA 524B is the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act cybersecurity requirement for cyber devices. It requires manufacturers to submit a software bill of materials, describe vulnerability handling, and maintain processes that address cybersecurity throughout the device lifecycle.

Does FDA 524B require an SBOM?

Does FDA 524B require an SBOM?

Yes. FDA 524B requires a software bill of materials for cyber devices as part of premarket submissions, including commercial, open-source, and off-the-shelf software components.

What SBOM format does FDA accept?

What SBOM format does FDA accept?

FDA expects a machine-readable SBOM. CycloneDX and SPDX are commonly used formats, and Interlynk can export both for submission and audit workflows.
