Introduction
Health software has become a cornerstone of modern healthcare delivery, supporting diagnostics, therapy management, patient engagement, and clinical decision-making. As this software increasingly connects to hospital systems, cloud services, and medical devices, cybersecurity risks evolve into direct patient safety concerns. IEC 81001-5-1 Security Testing and VA/PT provides a structured and safety-focused approach to identifying weaknesses and validating the effectiveness of cybersecurity controls.
Cyberintelsys delivers specialized health software security testing and VA/PT services in Sweden, helping organizations manage cyber risks, protect clinical functionality, and demonstrate IEC 81001-5-1 compliance with confidence.
Security Testing in the Context of Health Software Safety
Unlike conventional IT testing, health software security testing must account for safety, availability, and clinical integrity. Cyberintelsys applies a healthcare-aware testing approach that ensures vulnerabilities are assessed without compromising patient care or operational stability.
Our testing focuses on:
Software behavior under cyber stress conditions
Protection of clinical workflows and logic
Secure handling of health and device-generated data
Resistance to unauthorized functional changes
Vulnerability Assessment Tailored to Health Software
The vulnerability assessment phase identifies weaknesses that could compromise software reliability or safety. Cyberintelsys evaluates health software across its full operational context.
Assessment areas include:
Application architecture and trust boundaries
Authentication, authorization, and role segregation
Data storage, encryption, and transmission security
API exposure and third-party service integration
Software configuration and update mechanisms
Findings are prioritized based on potential clinical and operational impact.
Penetration Testing with Controlled Clinical Awareness
Penetration testing validates how vulnerabilities may be exploited in realistic attack scenarios. Cyberintelsys conducts controlled, risk-based penetration testing aligned with IEC 81001-5-1 principles.
Testing scenarios include:
Unauthorized access to medical software functions
Manipulation of treatment parameters or outputs
Abuse of APIs and backend services
Compromise of user roles and privileges
Validation of detection and response mechanisms
All testing is designed to avoid disruption to live healthcare environments.
