Overview

As digital health technologies continue to grow in Indonesia, health software and medical applications have become crucial for patient care, telemedicine, and hospital management. These platforms improve operational efficiency and patient outcomes but face increasing cyber threats that could compromise sensitive patient data, patient safety, and regulatory compliance.

IEC 81001-5-1 provides a framework for cybersecurity risk management in health software, including secure design, development, testing, and deployment. Healthcare organizations, medical device manufacturers, and health app developers must adopt these standards to ensure robust protection of sensitive healthcare information.

Cyberintelsys, a CREST-accredited cybersecurity company in Indonesia, offers expert Vulnerability Assessment (VA) and Penetration Testing (PT) services for IEC 81001-5-1 compliant health software. Our services help identify vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and enhance the security of digital health ecosystems.

Importance of VA/PT for IEC 81001-5-1 Compliance

Healthcare software systems are high-value targets due to sensitive patient data and critical operations. Key risks include:

• Weak authentication and access controls

• Data leakage in mobile or cloud applications

• API vulnerabilities and integration flaws

• Weak encryption or session management

• Insider threats and misconfigurations

VA/PT ensures:

• Early detection and remediation of vulnerabilities

• Compliance with IEC 81001-5-1 cybersecurity standards

• Protection of patient data in accordance with Indonesia healthcare regulations

• Reduced operational and reputational risks

• Demonstration of regulatory compliance to authorities and stakeholders

Partnering with Cyberintelsys ensures ethical, thorough, and globally recognized assessments with CREST accreditation.
