DEFINITION

What is Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) Cybersecurity?

Software as a Medical Device cybersecurity is the process of securing standalone medical software throughout its lifecycle

Get a Quote

Software as a Medical Device cybersecurity is the process of securing standalone medical software throughout its lifecycle. It involves identifying security weaknesses, validating controls, and protecting clinical applications against threats that could affect patient safety, data integrity, or the availability of essential medical functions.

Our Process for SaMD Services

Our Process for SaMD Cybersecurity Assessments

Our assessment follows a structured process that helps you uncover risks, strengthen security, and support regulatory expectations confidently.

01

Learn How Your SaMD Works

We review the intended use, clinical role, users, architecture, and technology supporting the software.

02

Set the Assessment Boundaries

Together, we decide which applications, APIs, cloud services, integrations, and environments need to be examined.

03

Map Data Flows and Attack Paths

Our team studies how information moves through the system and where an attacker could interfere.

04

Test the Complete Environment

Testing covers the software, backend services, access controls, cloud setup, and other connected components within scope.

05

Confirm What Is Exploitable

Each issue is checked manually so your report includes genuine weaknesses rather than unverified scanner results.

06

Explain the Risk Clearly

We show how every finding could affect your product, clinical functions, patient data, or service availability.

07

Support Your Remediation Work

Your developers receive clear steps, practical guidance, and direct support while addressing the reported security issues.

08

Retest and Finalize the Evidence

Once fixes are complete, we test them again and document the results for your internal and regulatory needs.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear answers about SaMD cybersecurity testing, FDA expectations, cloud-based products, deliverables, and lifecycle support.

Software as a Medical Device is standalone software that performs medical functions such as diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment without forming part of a physical medical device.

The FDA expects cybersecurity evidence based on product risk. Security testing, including penetration testing, helps demonstrate that appropriate cybersecurity controls have been verified.

It depends on your product. If it meets the Section 524B criteria, including software authorization and internet connectivity, it may qualify as a cyber device.

Our assessment may include application, API, cloud, infrastructure, authentication, authorization, configuration, and penetration testing based on your product architecture and scope.

Yes. Qualysec can assess your application, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and connected components to identify security weaknesses across the complete deployment environment.

You receive a detailed report with validated findings, risk ratings, technical evidence, remediation guidance, and a retest report after verified issue resolution.

The timeline depends on your application's complexity, architecture, and testing scope. Most assessments are completed within a few weeks after project kickoff.

Yes. Qualysec supports cybersecurity activities aligned with FDA premarket documentation and ongoing postmarket vulnerability management throughout the product lifecycle.

Yes. Third-party AI services introduce additional cybersecurity considerations that should be assessed and documented as part of your product's overall security posture.

Pricing depends on your SaMD architecture, deployment environment, testing scope, and compliance needs. Contact Qualysec for a tailored project estimate.
