Cybersecurity diligence ranking

Which regulators demand the most rigorous cybersecurity evidence?

Composite score (0-100) computed from 29 weighted requirements in the FDA translation matrix. Weightings prioritize dimensions that actually change security posture - threat modeling, SBOM/vuln mapping, testing, CVD, patching, incident reporting - over paperwork-only obligations.
