What access is needed for testing?

Depending on the approach, testers may need test accounts, API documentation, application builds, architecture details, source code, or limited technical information.

How are vulnerabilities validated during testing?

Identified weaknesses are manually investigated and, where appropriate, safely exploited to confirm practical impact, affected assets, attack paths, and potential privilege escalation.

How does Medysec find flaws that scanners miss?

Medysec combines automated tools with manual testing to identify business logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, access control weaknesses, authentication issues, and application-specific attack paths.

Can Medysec test without modifying the medical device?

Yes. Medysec can focus testing on accessible application layers, APIs, interfaces, authentication, communications, and other agreed security boundaries without modifying the device.

What happens after Medysec completes the test?

Medysec provides a detailed report covering validated findings, severity, evidence, impact, affected components, remediation guidance, and retest results where remediation testing is included.

Application Penetration Testing

Penetration Testing for Medical Device Applications and APIs

We test clinical applications, patient portals, and healthcare APIs for authentication, access control, and data exposure weaknesses that automated scans miss.

Our Process

Our Application Penetration Testing Process Workflow

We trace users, applications, APIs, identities, and connected services to identify weaknesses that affect the product.

01
Scope & Attack Surface Mapping
Map applications, environments, technologies, users, APIs, integrations, authentication mechanisms, endpoints, and in-scope assets.
02
Architecture & Threat Analysis
Review architecture, data flows, trust boundaries, authentication, dependencies, integrations, and controls to identify attack paths.
03
Automated & Manual Security Testing
Perform automated and expert-led manual testing across web, mobile, API, desktop, and AI applications.

Penetration Testing Types

Testing That Goes Beyond the Device Surface

We choose the testing approach according to the product, available access, technical evidence, risks, and assessment objective.

Black Box Testing
Simulates an external attacker with little or no prior knowledge of the application's architecture, source code, internal logic, APIs, infrastructure, or security controls.
Grey Box Testing
Blends external testing with authorized architecture details, account access, and API documentation to provide deeper security coverage.
White Box Testing
Combines access to source code, architecture, dependencies, and build files to perform complete vulnerability analysis and validation.

Step-by-Step Workflow

How to Begin Securing Your MedTech Cybersecurity with Medysec

We analyze your device architecture, build complete cybersecurity evidence, and hand your team an audit-ready submission package.

01
Discovery & Artifact Plan
Our senior Medysec expert reads device architecture, intended use, regulatory pathway, and existing cybersecurity evidence then delivers a written artifact plan and fixed-fee quote inside 5 business days.
02
Authoring & Testing
Medysec runs hands-on threat modeling, SBOM authoring, security risk assessment, and penetration testing on the named device, using the agreed artifact plan as the work contract.
03
Internal Reviewer Simulation
Two named Medysec experts review the package against FDA 2026 guidance check-by-check before handoff. Findings are flagged, retested, and closed.
04
Submission Hand-off
You get a one-hour walk-through with your regulatory lead, a Letter of Attestation, and a fixed-fee retest commitment if FDA raises cybersecurity deficiencies.
