About us
Blue Goat Cyber was founded by Christian Espinosa, a cybersecurity expert with over a decade of experience in medical device security. After launching Alpine Security in 2014 and selling it in 2020, Christian’s personal health scare in 2022, involving a life-saving medical device, reignited his passion for securing devices that directly impact patient safety. This experience led to the founding of Blue Goat Cyber, focusing on medical device cybersecurity. At Blue Goat Cyber, we specialize in helping medical device manufacturers navigate complex FDA regulations and implement the highest standards of cybersecurity. Our services include comprehensive Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) management, threat modeling, Static Application Security Testing (SAST), and penetration testing. These services are designed to address every aspect of a device’s security lifecycle, ensuring it meets FDA expectations for premarket and postmarket submissions. We also offer vulnerability assessments, risk management reports, and continuous monitoring, providing manufacturers with the tools and insights needed to secure their devices from development through deployment. Our fixed-fee pricing model ensures transparency, with unlimited retests included until acceptable risk levels are achieved. Additionally, we guarantee FDA clearance for submissions related to cybersecurity—if any deficiencies arise, we resolve them at no additional cost. As a service-disabled veteran-owned business, we bring a unique perspective and dedication to medical device security. Blue Goat Cyber has a 100% success rate, with all submissions cleared on the first attempt. Our processes are fully aligned with the FDA’s latest eSTAR guidance, ensuring regulatory compliance and patient safety. Blue Goat Cyber is committed to making a meaningful impact in medical device cybersecurity, combining professional expertise with a personal commitment to safeguarding lives.

💡 Are you confident your medical device strategy aligns with FDA standards? For med-tech innovators, healthcare professionals, and cybersecurity experts, understanding the FDA's classification system for medical devices isn’t optional—it’s essential. Every medical device falls into one of three categories—Class I, Class II, or Class III—and each classification has unique requirements that can directly impact your product's compliance, patient safety, and market success. One of our latest blogs simplifies these classifications with clear explanations, real-world examples, and actionable insights. Whether your focus is on regulatory submissions, cybersecurity strategies, or ensuring patient safety, this guide will help you confidently navigate the FDA landscape. 📖 Ready to level up your compliance knowledge?

💻 Behind every scan is a system you can’t see: The radiology information system (RIS) Have you ever wondered what keeps a medical imaging department running smoothly? Meet the Radiology Information System (RIS)—a powerhouse database that ensures every X-ray, MRI, and CT scan is handled precisely and efficiently. Think of it as the nervous system of medical imaging, seamlessly connecting and coordinating every aspect of the process, from scheduling and imaging to reporting and patient records. But as critical as it is, RIS also manages highly sensitive patient data, making cybersecurity a top priority. In an era where healthcare technology is constantly threatened, understanding RIS and its role is key to ensuring patient safety and data integrity. 💡 Check out our latest blog post for insights: (https://lnkd.in/gdxu4Ab6) #Cybersecurity #RadiologyTech #MedicalImaging #HealthcareInnovation #BlueGoatCyber
