From SBOM Compliance to Continuous Cybersecurity Governance

As medical devices become increasingly software-driven, managing complex software supply chains has become a critical challenge for manufacturers. Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) are now a regulatory expectation — but when treated as static artifacts, they introduce hidden risks, limiting visibility, slowing response to vulnerabilities, and creating gaps in compliance. 

This solution brief explores how medical device manufacturers can move beyond SBOM compliance toward continuous cybersecurity governance through integrated engineering practices and automated monitoring capabilities, in partnership with RunSafe Security. 

In this solution brief you’ll learn: 

  • How to transition from static SBOMs to continuous, lifecycle-driven cybersecurity governance. 

  • Why SBOM generation alone is insufficient to meet FDA and EU MDR expectations. 

  • How lack of vulnerability context and monitoring increases cybersecurity and regulatory risk. 

  • Practical approaches to embedding SBOMs into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows. 

  • The role of automated platforms and engineering expertise in enabling scalable, compliant SBOM management.
