Regulatory intelligence for medical device & software professionals

Know the moment it matters.

The FDA, CISA, IMDRF and EU MDR are where we start. GrapeBeaver reads them alongside dozens of other regulators, standards bodies, notified bodies and manufacturer advisories every day, and tells you what impacts your organization, your products, and the policies, standards and operating guidance you have already written — alongside the events shaping the industry you work in.

Accounts are by invitation while we are in testing — your code starts the trial, no card required.

Every item, scored, sourced — and answered once

One row per advisory, with everything it impacts and why: the products you ship, the obligations it changes for your organization, the policies, standards and operating guidance it bears on, and the industry events it belongs to. Answered once, by your team, in one place. Severity is the only thing on the page allowed to be loud — so when something is red, it means something.

A match is not a claim that your product is affected. When an advisory names something you ship — by component, package, or vendor and product — the feed says so. When it does not, and we have matched on the kind of device or the kind of exposure, it says that instead: worth checking, not something you are affected by. Most advisories are about somebody else's device, and saying so plainly is the point.

One page: what is open, what to do, what is coming

Written once a day and read by your whole team: what may bear on your organization, what reached your products and your policies, standards and operating guidance and is still open, the dated obligations arriving in the next fortnight, and the events shaping the industry around them. Not a dashboard of counters — counters are how you check a feeling you already have.

RIGHT NOW · FOR NORTHLAKE MEDICAL
Third-party component provenance is where the pressure is this week, and three of your four products ship components you do not maintain.

Two advisories reached InfusionSuite Gateway; the FDA's updated premarket expectations name support-level information in the SBOM, which is the part your current submission pack does not carry.

WHAT YOU ARE EXPOSED TO
Third-party component provenance 2 new · 4 open
because InfusionSuite Gateway and VitalView M400 — contains open-source components
Exposure on the clinical network 1 new · due 14 Sep
because InfusionSuite Gateway — connected to the clinical network

Illustrative. The exposure board is derived from the products you register — no similarity score, nothing you cannot check and disagree with.

Your SBOM says what is inside. It does not say what is still supported.

A component does not have to be vulnerable to be a problem. It just has to stop being maintained — no CVE, no advisory, no notification. Regulators increasingly expect a manufacturer to know the support status of what they ship and to have a plan for when it ends, and that is not something a scanner tells you.

  • Every component in every SBOM you upload is resolved against published end-of-life dates, release history and repository activity.
  • A support status for every component, with the date behind it: still supported, end of life stated for a date, out of support, or no release in three years. The answer a reviewer, an auditor and a 524B submission all ask for.
  • Sourced and dated, so it goes straight into your documentation. Each status names where it came from — the publisher's own end-of-life notice, the release history, the repository — and when it was checked.
  • This is the number teams currently chase by hand across a dozen vendor pages, and the one regulators increasingly expect you to have an answer for.

Gathered, assessed, reviewed, sent

01 · GATHER

Every source, one feed

Regulators, standards bodies, sector coordinating councils and manufacturer PSIRTs — the FDA, CISA, the UK MHRA, EU MDR/IVDR, Health Canada and IMDRF among them, alongside the industry and trade publishers that carry what the regulators have not said yet. Finding the rest is a standing job rather than a finished list: we keep hunting for publishers worth watching, check each one before it goes in, and add it for everybody. Everything is normalised and deduplicated as it arrives, so a cross-posted advisory reaches you once. Vulnerability feeds (NVD, CISA KEV) are read as evidence for what is in your SBOM, not forwarded to you one CVE at a time; your scanner already does that better.

02 · ASSESS

Scored on what it means for patients

Every item is summarised once and scored 0–100 on how exploitable it is against what happens clinically if it is — because a flaw in a firewall appliance and the same flaw in an infusion pump are not the same finding. The reasoning is on the page with the score, so you can check it against the source and disagree where you should.

03 · REVIEW

A person signs off

Nothing reaches your inbox until someone has read the assessment against the source and approved it. That gate is not optional, and it is why a summary here means something. GrapeBeaver is built and run by product security professionals for product security professionals — the reviewer knows what a 524B submission needs, and reads it that way.

Digests that respect your inbox

Daily or weekly, at a time you choose. It leads with a one-line count, groups by severity with the most serious first, and links each item back to the full assessment.

  • It arrives on your cadence even on a quiet week — carrying what is still open and what is coming, so silence never has to mean "nothing happened" or "something broke".
  • Set a severity floor and never see below it.
  • Every digest is archived and searchable, so "that thing from three weeks ago" is findable without digging through mail.
  • No hero images. A compliance inbox is not the place for one.
