Medical Device Security
A medical device manufacturer needed expertise to improve security controls associated with their medical devices and data management applications. This included understanding regulatory applicability and the impact on security controls.
The Challenge
The number of devices, device use cases (includes data flows), and data management application integration presented a significant amount of complexity. Mapping the security controls to collection, processing, and storage of personally identifiable information required detailed workshops with several stakeholders.
