Awarded for completing United States Food and Drug Administration Section 524B for Medical Devices and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to translate device cybersecurity expectations into maintained engineering artefacts, run post market monitoring and assessment that connects to patient harm analysis, produce and sustain a software bill of materials for a device, and handle disclosure, change control and legacy devices without bypassing the safety change process.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
