Medical Device Penetration Testing

Our medical device penetration testing service simulates real-world attacks to uncover critical vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. This is not just a technical exercise — it’s about protecting patients, maintaining regulatory compliance, and safeguarding your reputation.

Our CREST-accredited testers use advanced ethical hacking techniques to evaluate your device’s security posture across hardware, software, communication interfaces, mobile apps, and cloud services. We tailor each engagement to your product’s architecture and risk profile, ensuring high-impact, relevant findings.

Testing Methodology

  • Hardware Security - Physical device and embedded system testing
  • Software Analysis - Firmware and application vulnerability assessment
  • Communication Interfaces - Network protocols and wireless communication
  • Mobile Apps - Companion applications and user interfaces
  • Cloud Services - Backend infrastructure and data storage

Accredited Excellence

  • - Certified ethical hacking techniques
  • - Tailored to product architecture
  • - High-impact, relevant findings
  • - Regulatory compliance support

Why Penetration Testing Matters
For Medical Devices

As connectivity within the healthcare ecosystem increases, medical devices are now prime targets for cyberattacks. A single vulnerability could allow unauthorised access, alter device function, or expose sensitive patient data.

PENETRATION TESTING
right-arrow
Identify Vulnerabilities - Identify and mitigate exploitable weaknesses in software, firmware, and device communications.
right-arrow
Meet Regulatory Standards - Meet regulatory expectations from the FDA, EU MDR, and other global standards, which increasingly call for evidence of security testing.
right-arrow
Patient Safety - Demonstrate due diligence in protecting patient safety and ensuring product resilience.
right-arrow
Technical Documentation - Strengthen your technical file with a third-party report that supports CE marking or FDA submissions.

Our Approach

We conduct penetration testing at any stage — from development to post-market — and can focus on:

  • Wireless and network protocol exploitation (e.g. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi)
  • Firmware and embedded software analysis
  • Mobile app and backend API testing
  • User authentication and data access controls
  • Threat modelling and attack surface mapping

Each engagement concludes with a detailed report that outlines risks, evidence, and prioritised remediation advice — designed to support both technical teams and regulatory submissions.

Built For Compliance

We understand the unique requirements of medical device manufacturers. Our testing aligns with:

  • EU MDR and IVDR cybersecurity expectations
  • FDA premarket cybersecurity guidance
  • IEC-60601 and other related standards

You get actionable insights and the supporting evidence needed to progress your product with confidence.

Hazard analysis minus-icon

Conducting a thorough hazard analysis is crucial for ensuring the safety and compliance of medical devices. Hazard analysis identifies potential risks and evaluates their impact on patient safety and device performance. At Periculo, we offer expert hazard analysis services to help you systematically identify, assess, and mitigate risks throughout the product lifecycle. Our approach includes detailed risk assessments, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and the development of robust mitigation strategies. With Periculo’s support, you can ensure that your medical devices meet regulatory standards, enhance patient safety, and maintain high levels of performance and reliability.

What is medical device cyber security? minus-icon

Medical device cyber security refers to the protection of medical devices from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. Cyber security for medical devices involves protecting these devices from cyber threats like hacking, malware, and unauthorised access. As medical devices become more connected, they face risks similar to traditional IT systems. Ensuring cybersecurity means safeguarding both the functionality of the devices and the sensitive patient data they handle. This includes implementing encryption, adhering to regulations like HIPAA and FDA guidelines, and continuously monitoring for threats. The goal is to ensure these devices remain secure, reliable, and safe for patient care.
