How It Works
Book a call
Everyone is different, and so are digital health companies. It’s important that we have some time to understand exactly what you need so that we can advise you accordingly.
Planning Process
Our expert team carefully plans the penetration testing process to identify vulnerabilities. We’ll book an initial call to understand your system in more detail and agree the scope.
Execution Phase
We execute comprehensive penetration tests to exploit vulnerabilities and assess their impact. During this phase we add value by aligning to standards such as FDA, EUMDR, 81001-5-1, and MDCG 2021-5 Rev.1.
Reporting and Recommendations
We provide detailed reports and recommendations through our platform to help you strengthen your digital health security. A follow-up session walks through the findings in clear, practical terms.
Continuous Improvement
We help implement security measures and ensure ongoing protection for your product and business systems. For medical devices, we can deliver findings in a hazard format aligned with EUMDR and IEC 62304.

What is Medical Device Security Testing?
Medical device security testing can be done in many ways, either part of your development lifecycle in line with IEC62304, or through a traditional penetration test. The challenge with generic penetration testing is that it may not cover all of the aspects that you would expect to see for your medical device. For example, integrity is a big part of medical device security and penetration tests often miss this as they focus on the OWASP top 10 only. We perform our penetration tests in line with medical device security standards such as IEC TR 60601-4-5:2021
What is Web Application Penetration Testing?
Web Application Penetration Testing is the process of evaluating the security of a web application by identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. It helps ensure that the application is secure against potential threats.
What is Mobile Application Penetration Testing?
Mobile Application Penetration Testing involves assessing the security of mobile applications to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. It helps ensure that the application is secure and protects user data.
What are the benefits?
Penetration Testing helps identify potential vulnerabilities in your digital infrastructure, allowing you to proactively address them before they can be exploited by attackers. It helps protect your sensitive data and ensures the security of your systems.
What penetration test do I need for my medical device?
The type of penetration test you need depends on the specific device, its connectivity, and the potential risks it faces. At Periculo, we offer tailored assessments based on factors such as network interfaces, data sensitivity, and regulatory requirements. Common tests include wireless, software, and hardware security evaluations. Our experts will work with you to determine the most appropriate test to safeguard your medical device against potential threats and ensure compliance with industry standards.
How long does Penetration Testing take?
The duration of Penetration Testing depends on the scope and complexity of the project. It can range from a few days to several weeks. Our team will work closely with you to determine the appropriate timeframe for your specific requirements.
What deliverables can I expect?
After completing the Penetration Testing, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing the vulnerabilities identified, along with recommendations for remediation. Our team will also provide ongoing support to help you address any security issues. For medical device security testing, we will provide you with a table of hazards considering standards and requirements that you choose, for example; IEC TR 60601-4-5:2021, EUMDR , IEC 62304 and MDCG 2021-5 Rev.1
What are the costs?
The cost of Penetration Testing varies depending on the scope and complexity of the project. We offer competitive pricing tailored to your specific requirements. Contact us for a detailed quote.
What is penetration testing for medical devices?
Penetration testing for medical devices involves assessing the security of connected medical equipment to identify potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cyberattacks.
