Introduction
Egypt is one of the fastest-growing healthcare markets in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, driven by large-scale public health initiatives, expanding private healthcare networks, and increasing adoption of connected and software-driven medical devices. As regulatory oversight tightens and digital healthcare expands, manufacturers and distributors must address both regulatory compliance and cybersecurity risk to succeed in the Egyptian market.
Medical Devices Regulatory & Cybersecurity Compliance Assessment Services in Egypt, delivered by Cyberintelsys with CREST-aligned security practices and IEC standard alignment, help organizations achieve safe, compliant, and resilient medical device deployment across the country.
Medical Device Regulatory Environment in Egypt
Medical devices in Egypt are regulated by the Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) through its Medical Devices Department. Regulatory expectations are evolving rapidly to reflect international best practices and increased focus on digital safety.
Key regulatory considerations include:
Medical device classification and registration with EDA
Conformity assessment and technical documentation review
Evidence of safety, performance, and intended use
Import licensing and market authorization requirements
Post-market surveillance and vigilance obligations
For digital and connected devices, software reliability and cyber risk management are increasingly critical components of regulatory acceptance.
Why Regulatory & Cybersecurity Compliance Must Be Integrated
Egypt’s healthcare ecosystem is becoming more interconnected through hospital information systems, remote diagnostics, and cloud-enabled medical platforms. This introduces new risks:
Cyber vulnerabilities impacting device functionality and patient safety
Unauthorized access to medical device software and data
Service disruption in critical care environments
Increased scrutiny during regulatory audits and inspections
A combined regulatory and cybersecurity compliance assessment ensures devices meet both legal and real-world operational expectations.

Cyberintelsys delivers CREST-aligned cybersecurity assessments, including:
Secure software architecture and threat modeling
Vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
Review of authentication, encryption, and access controls
Cyber risk impact analysis on clinical workflows
Secure update and patch management evaluation
These assessments align with IEC 62304 (medical software lifecycle) and emerging cybersecurity expectations.
5. IEC-Focused Risk & Safety Alignment
Cyberintelsys integrates cybersecurity with international safety standards:
IEC 60601 (electrical safety and essential performance)
IEC 62304 (software lifecycle processes)
IEC 62366 (usability engineering)
Cyber risk integration with ISO 14971
This ensures cyber risks are treated as safety risks, supporting regulatory confidence.
6. Compliance Gap Closure & Audit Readiness
Identification of regulatory, quality, and cyber gaps
Risk-prioritized remediation roadmap
Corrective action planning and documentation updates
Pre-EDA audit and inspection readiness support
Organizations gain clarity and confidence before regulator engagement.
7. Post-Market Surveillance & Cyber Resilience
Vigilance and adverse event reporting framework review
Cyber vulnerability monitoring and disclosure planning
Incident response and recovery preparedness
Continuous compliance improvement strategies
Compliance is maintained beyond initial approval.
Emerging Trends in Egypt’s Medical Device Compliance Landscape
