Healthcare & Innovation Security Challenges
Healthcare innovation depends on secure, resilient infrastructure. We deliver cybersecurity expertise designed for healthcare providers, HealthTech companies, and medical device manufacturers navigating complex regulatory requirements while enabling digital transformation.
Connected medical devices from infusion pumps and pacemakers to imaging systems and surgical robots present unique security challenges. Device vulnerabilities can directly impact patient safety, requiring security approaches that balance protection with clinical functionality. MDR/IVDR and FDA cybersecurity guidance mandate rigorous security throughout the device lifecycle.
Hospitals and healthcare facilities depend on interconnected systems EHRs, laboratory information systems, building management, and clinical networks. Ransomware attacks targeting healthcare have increased dramatically, with potential consequences extending beyond data loss to direct patient harm. Protecting healthcare infrastructure requires defense-in-depth strategies tailored to clinical environments.
The rapid expansion of telehealth, remote patient monitoring, and digital therapeutics introduces new security considerations.Patient-facing applications must protect sensitive health data while maintaining usability. Security architectures must address mobile devices, home networks, and cloud infrastructure beyond traditional healthcare perimeters.
HealthTech platforms processing patient data at scale require robust security architectures API security, identity management, encryption, and access controls meeting healthcare-specific requirements.Platforms must demonstrate security to healthcare customers, regulators, and patients while enabling the interoperability essential for modern healthcare.
Healthcare cybersecurity operates within complex regulatory frameworks such as MDR/IVDR cybersecurity requirements, HIPAA Security Rule,HDS certification, NIS2 for essential services, and emerging AI security standards. Organisations must demonstrate compliance across multiple overlapping frameworks while maintaining operational security effectiveness
Healthcare faces a unique threat landscape nation-state actors targeting research, ransomware groups exploiting patient safety urgency, and insider threats in high-trust environments.Security strategies must address healthcare-specific attack patterns, including medical device exploitation, EHR compromise, and supply chain attacks targeting healthcare vendors.

FAQs
Our frequently questions
Connected medical devices, telehealth platforms, electronic health records, and AI-powered diagnostics expand the attack surface while regulatory frameworks demand ever-higher security standards under MDR/IVDR, GDPR, HIPAA, NIS2, and ISO 27001. We provide cybersecurity expertise built specifically for healthcare innovation, integrating security with clinical workflows to protect patient safety, maintain regulatory compliance, and enable digital health adoption with experience across 66 countries.
Critical risks include medical device security vulnerabilities exposing patient safety and device functionality, healthcare infrastructure protection failures creating system-wide breaches, telehealth and digital health security gaps exposing patient consultations and data, HealthTech platform security weaknesses compromising multi-tenant data, inadequate regulatory compliance integration failing to meet MDR/IVDR Annex I or NIS2 requirements, and healthcare-specific threat landscape blindness missing ransomware, medical device exploits, and supply chain attacks. These trigger patient safety incidents, regulatory sanctions, operational shutdowns, and reputational damage.
We provide cybersecurity regulatory compliance including medical device cybersecurity requirements (MDR/IVDR Annex I, IEC 62443, FDA guidance), healthcare infrastructure compliance (NIS2 Directive, ISO 27001), telehealth and digital health regulatory frameworks (secure communications requirements, patient data protection standards), HealthTech platform compliance (access control requirements, audit logging obligations), regulatory compliance integration (harmonizing cybersecurity with data protection and AI requirements), and healthcare-specific threat response procedures (breach notification, incident reporting obligations). With experience across 66 countries, we integrate cybersecurity, data protection, and AI regulatory requirements without creating duplicative compliance processes.
