// Healthcare & life sciences

Where the rules are tightest.

Patient data, connected devices and clinical systems where a failure is measured in harm, not downtime. We bring testing and governance mapped to GDPR, MDR and the realities of healthcare and life sciences.

// The pressure you're under

Failure is measured in harm, not downtime.

You carry some of the most sensitive data there is, on systems that often touch patient safety directly. Regulation is dense, devices are connected, and suppliers multiply the surface — all while clinical operations can't stop.

// 01

Patient data carries the highest stakes

Health data is special-category under GDPR — and a breach is a safety and trust failure, not just a compliance one.

// 02

Connected devices widen the attack surface

Medical devices and clinical systems bring software risk into environments that weren't built with security first.

// 03

Dense, overlapping regulation

GDPR, MDR and sector rules overlap — and proving conformance takes evidence, not assertions.

// 04

Supplier and integration risk

Vendors, EHR integrations and third parties extend the surface you're accountable for protecting.

// Standards & regulation

Mapped to the standards you're held to.

// Where Vector helps

Conformance you can show, not just claim.

Vector reviews your policies, controls and evidence against ISO and information-security best practice, keeping the proof in one place — GDPR-compliant, data in the EU. When MDR, an auditor or a hospital procurement team asks for conformance, the evidence is ready.

// Common questions

What teams like yours ask first.

Can you test medical devices and connected systems?+

We test the software, APIs, mobile clients and clinical systems around devices, and scope carefully around anything that touches patient safety. For device certification work we align with the relevant standards and define rules of engagement up front.

How do you handle patient and special-category data?+

With care by design. Engagements are scoped to avoid unnecessary exposure to live patient data, reviews in Vector are GDPR-compliant with data kept in the EU, and we document handling so it stands up to scrutiny.

Can you help with MDR and GDPR conformance?+

Yes. We map controls and evidence to GDPR and MDR obligations and hand you proof in the format auditors and procurement expect — reproducible, not asserted.

We're deploying clinical AI — can you review it?+

Yes. Our AI / LLM Security practice covers data handling, model and prompt risk, and the guardrails diagnostic or patient-facing AI needs before it ships.

Tell us what you're building. We'll tell you what we'd secure first.
