Objective of Medical Devices VAPT Assessment
Throughout our assessment, we meet all the protocols, cyber security compliance requirements, and industrial standards enforced by the regulatory authorities. In our cyber security analysis of medical devices, we assess the following –
- Existing Controls
- Access to Devices and Systems
- Revision on Security Controls
- Medical Standards and Security Rule
- Architecture of Software from a Cyber Security Perspective
- Data Flows and Use Case
- Risks Related to Integrity and Confidentiality
- Review Product and Their Security Policy
- Technology Used in Products
We Comply with all the Top IT Security Testing Guidelines
Benefits of Medical Device Security Assessment & Penetration Testing
- We identify vulnerabilities and provide a complete threat assessment.
- We improve security controls and enhance the security features in the devices and systems.
- We prevent and repel cryptographic attacks or unauthorized access.
- We conduct packet analysis and implement the most suitable protocols in the communications.
- We improve the security and auditing reports of the medical organization.
Based on the Analysis, We May Recommend the Following Changes
- Change in design to reduce risks
- Modifications in architecture to enhance security
- Architecture, PKI, Hardening, Encryption, Blockchain, and several other technologies in products
- Modifications in control
- Redefining accessibility for devices and systems
Medical DevicesMethodology
There is a meticulously designed process involved in our medical device security assessment and penetration testing. Here are the steps we follow to assess the security of these devices.
01
INFORMATION GATHERING
Initially, we prepare feasibility analysis during onsite assessment. We collect basic information about your medical facility after discussing it with your team. We review your policies and documentation associated with medical practices and devices. The aim is to comprehend the customized understanding of your medical institution and formulate a course of action with a set strategy. This will allow us to utilize time and conduct onsite assessments.
02
PLANNING
The collected information provides a comprehensive idea of the situation and requirements. Then, we conduct a detailed analysis of the gathered information through research. It will help us segregate the collected information in fragments to set objectives for further steps and final outcome. These objectives are then presented to clients to align the goals and proceed to the next step.
03
VULNERABILITY DETECTION
This stage involves testing and evaluating your medical institution in-person. We will travel to your facility and perform a complete cyber security assessment. It will include security evaluation, exploitation, and penetration testing. We can also conduct testing at Kratikal’s workplace if you send your devices and system to us. We will conduct penetration testing and explore vulnerabilities to get access into the system through USB, LAN, Ports, Ethernet, HDMI, etc.
04
PENETRATION TESTING
We explore different vulnerabilities in the devices and systems. Then, we list out most critical vulnerabilities and conduct penetration testing. The major portion (about 80%) of VAPT is carried out in this stage. We develop customized scripts based on the target device and exploit each vulnerability manually.
05
REPORTING
The reporting is crucial for maintaining records and presenting our assessment in a proper manner. The purpose of reporting is to take prioritized approach for solution with complete evidence provided to the clients and stakeholders. At Kratikal, we allocate services to implement the strategies that we devise to eliminate all the vulnerabilities detected during the assessment. After reporting is done, we send and review it on a web-call.
06
RE-TESTING
In this step, we evaluate all the findings of the previous five steps and categorize them based on different parameters. We create a list of the vulnerabilities and mark whether they are fixed or not. The main objective of re-testing is to ensure that no vulnerabilities are left after the completion of security patches and updates. The results become a benchmark that will eventually enhance the security of medical systems and devices. The findings of this step is communicated to clients based on the level of risk.

Medical Device: Cyber Security Assessment & Pentesting
The healthcare industry is growing rapidly and has enormous IT infrastructure and loads of medical devices. Since these devices rely heavily on modern technology, they need to be secured against cyber threats and risks.
Vulnerabilities in medical devices are increasingly posing risks to the patients and those in need of healthcare. The aim of our assessment is to identify the exploitable vulnerabilities in these devices to secure them against attacks, eventually saving people’s lives.
