4 CYBERSECURITY CONTROLS TRACEABILITY


OPTIONAL SECTION
The FDA guidance on Cybersecurity in Medical Devices recommends to document a traceability
with a predefined list of types of cybersecurity controls.

You may use this section to document traceability between your SRS and the control types.
Some controls may not be documented in the SRS (e.g. in de dev plan). You can also move or
duplicate this traceability to the security risk assessment report if you have security control
types covered by artifacts that are not SRS.

Types of Cybersecurity controls listed in the FDA guidance on Cybersecurity in Medical Devices
are:
 A) Authentication controls,
 B) Authorization controls,
 C) Cryptography controls,
 D) Code, data, and execution integrity controls,
 E) Confidentiality controls,
 F) Event detection and logging controls,
 G) Resiliency and recovery controls,
 H) Firmware and software update controls.

Example:
SRS ID SRS Title Security Controls
SRS-AUTH-001 User authentication by login Authentication control
and pasword
SRS-DAT-001 Database encryption Confidentiality controls
