Hazard analysis

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.

Penetration Testing

Protect your app from cyber threats with our CREST penetration testing services. We simulate real-world cyber-attacks to uncover vulnerabilities, providing comprehensive assessments and actionable insights. Enhance your device security and safeguard patient data with our expert penetration testing solutions.

SBOM Management

Managing a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is critical for maintaining transparency and security in software development, especially in the healthcare sector. An SBOM provides a detailed inventory of all components within a software application, helping to identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. At Periculo, we offer specialised SBOM management services, including creation, maintenance, and analysis of your SBOM. Our expertise helps you identify potential risks, ensure compliance with industry regulations, and enhance the overall security of your software products. With Periculo's support, you can achieve robust SBOM management, safeguarding your software from vulnerabilities and ensuring regulatory compliance.

FDA compliance

Ensuring compliance with the FDA regulations is essential for any organisation producing or distributing medical devices in the United States. FDA compliance requires strict adherence to standards for safety, efficacy, and quality. At Periculo, we provide expert support to help you navigate these regulations effectively. Our services include comprehensive risk assessments, compliance audits, detailed documentation support, and advanced cybersecurity measures tailored to the healthcare industry. With Periculo, you can confidently meet FDA requirements, ensuring your medical devices are safe, reliable, and ready for the market.

ISO13485 compliance

ISO13485 compliance is essential for medical device manufacturers to demonstrate their ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is a globally recognised quality management standard specifically for the medical device industry, addressing areas such as risk management, regulatory compliance, and traceability. Achieving ISO13485 certification can enhance market access and credibility for manufacturers, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of their products.

Secure development lifecycle

Implementing a secure development lifecycle (SDL) for Pharma Companion Apps is essential to ensure its safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance. The SDL integrates security at every stage of development, from initial design to deployment and maintenance. At Periculo, we specialise in guiding you through a comprehensive SDL process. Our services include threat modelling, secure coding practices, rigorous testing for vulnerabilities, and ongoing security assessments. By partnering with Periculo, you can ensure that security is embedded in every phase of development, resulting in safer, more reliable products that meet stringent regulatory requirements.

Vulnerability Scanning

Vulnerability scanning is crucial for ensuring the security of a system or network. By providing this service, we can help businesses and individuals identify weaknesses in their infrastructure, software, or configurations that could be exploited by malicious actors. This can ultimately help prevent data breaches, financial loss, and damage to reputation.

RFP Support

We offer comprehensive support for RFP (Request for Proposal) processes, ensuring that your business can submit high-quality and competitive proposals.

IEC62304 Compliance

In order to comply with IEC62304, software must follow a risk-based approach throughout the software development life cycle. This standard outlines processes and activities that need to be undertaken to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical device software.
