Bind a medical-device SBOM to the exact released firmware
Can a hospital or assessor verify that the SBOM, vulnerability status, and firmware image describe the same release?
Operational pain
SBOM files are often generated separately from release artifacts and lose trustworthy linkage after vendor portals, distributors, or service teams copy them.
Trigger
Premarket submission, vulnerability disclosure, field update, or customer security review.
QNSI contribution
Connect the decision to a controlled security path
Record signature policy and provenance for firmware, SBOM, build evidence, and release approval using QNSI-supported primitives.
Decision artifact
A signed release manifest linking component inventory, firmware digest, signer, build identity, and approval state.
What still requires validation
The manufacturer proves SBOM completeness, build reproducibility, vulnerability triage, signing-key protection, and distribution integrity.
External problem context
Primary sources
These sources establish the external requirement or risk context. They do not endorse HEOSSI or prove that QNSI completed this scenario.
Evidence boundary
What this page does—and does not—prove
This is a product evaluation pattern, not a customer case study, certification, legal opinion, regulator endorsement, or claim that a production deployment completed the described work.
