Cybersecurity for Health & MedTech
We protect the technologies healthcare depends on — medical data, digital products and infrastructure — from secure development and testing to continuous vulnerability monitoring.
Cybersecurity Challenges in Health & MedTech
Medical data is one of the most sensitive categories of information
HealthTech systems work with personal and medical data: medical histories, test results, diagnoses, prescriptions, images, and information about patients and healthcare professionals. A leak or compromise of such information can have consequences for a person's privacy, safety, and trust in the service.
Cybersecurity can be tied to patient safety
In HealthTech, cybersecurity is not only a matter of protecting information. A system compromise can disrupt a medical service, expose sensitive patient data or affect a process on which the timeliness of medical care depends. The medical domain can include connected medical devices, specialized software, mobile applications, APIs, cloud services, and systems used by medical staff. A vulnerability in one component can affect the operation of the entire system and the processes that depend on it.
The system must stay available when it is needed
For HealthTech, it is not enough simply to prevent a data leak. It is important to ensure the availability of services: medical staff must have access to the information they need, patients to their services, and critical processes must keep running. A cyberattack or infrastructure compromise can turn a technical incident into a disruption of the medical process.
Medical systems have many integration points
HealthTech products rarely operate in isolation. They are integrated with laboratory systems, electronic medical records, payment services, cloud platforms, mobile applications and other external systems. Each integration creates an additional data-exchange channel and potentially a new point of risk.
A large part of the attack surface can remain out of the team's sight
New APIs, subdomains, test environments, cloud resources and external services appear as the product develops. Some of them may remain without proper control. For an attacker, a forgotten asset or a misconfigured service can become the easiest path to the core infrastructure.
The speed of product development conflicts with security
HealthTech teams must launch new features, integrations and services quickly, but each change can affect how the system stores, processes and transmits sensitive data. If security is checked only before a release or after an incident, vulnerabilities become harder and more expensive to fix.
Security becomes a condition of trust and market entry
Clients, medical institutions, insurance companies, partners, and investors expect a confirmed level of cybersecurity from HealthTech companies. A cybersecurity audit, vulnerability testing, access control, data protection, and readiness for the relevant regulatory requirements can become prerequisites for partnership and scaling.
The team does not always have its own security function
A HealthTech company may have a strong product, medical, and development team but no dedicated security engineer or CISO. At the same time, protection requirements arise as early as the stage before the company can afford a full-fledged cybersecurity function.
Why A42
- Hands-on experience in cybersecurity of Health and MedTech. We protect medical products, services, and organizations.
- Methodologies proven in Gov & Defence Tech. Our products are built where security standards are already extremely high, and we apply that rigor directly to HealthTech products, data and infrastructure.
- A focus on real risks, not only regulatory compliance. We help you see exactly where a vulnerability can affect data, service availability, or critical business processes.
- A full cycle of digital-product assessment. From code and architecture analysis to penetration testing, infrastructure assessment, and continuous monitoring of the external perimeter.
- An external cybersecurity partner for HealthTech teams. We can cover a specific task or gradually build a systematic cybersecurity process together with your team.
- AI-powered products and services. A42's technology significantly reduces the time to detect vulnerabilities and improves the quality and depth of testing.
- Preparation for international scaling. We help assess your actual level of protection and identify gaps that could become an obstacle to working with enterprise clients, partners, and international markets.
Cybersecurity Products and Services for HealthTech
Building cybersecurity
We embed cybersecurity into the development lifecycle: from architecture and threat modeling to code analysis, testing, and release. We help teams detect vulnerabilities and insecure practices before the product reaches production.
We comprehensively assess infrastructure, security architecture, processes, access, and the level of cyber maturity. The result is a clear picture of risks, priorities, and a practical roadmap for fixing them.
We help control access to medical data, administrative systems, repositories, CI/CD and cloud infrastructure. We apply the principle of least privilege, RBAC, PAM, Access Reviews, and Joiner–Mover–Leaver processes.
We assess the architecture, configurations, access models, logging, and security posture of AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and private clouds. We pay special attention to environments where sensitive data is stored and processed.
We train teams in the secure handling of data and corporate systems, as well as in countering phishing, social engineering, and account compromise.
Continuous cybersecurity monitoring
AI-powered penetration testing solution based on more than 100 attack methodologies used by elite defenders in GovTech and Defence Tech domains. Thanks to AI agents, clients receive an enterprise-grade pentest with a compliance-ready report in just four days, significantly faster and more cost-effective than manual testing.
We continuously monitor the external attack surface — domains, subdomains, IP addresses, and internet-facing services. We detect new assets, vulnerabilities, and data leaks before attackers can use them.
Static analysis of source code following the OWASP WSTG methodology. We check the code for typical vulnerabilities and hard-coded secrets before release. The results can be used directly in the development process and when handing off fixes.
We test web applications, APIs, servers, network infrastructure, corporate systems, and cloud environments. We assess not only technical vulnerabilities but also their potential impact on the business and critical processes.
Compliance with industry standards and requirements
For HealthTech, cybersecurity often becomes part of due diligence and the partnership process. But a formal document is not enough — what matters is that it is backed by genuinely protected infrastructure. A42 helps assess the actual level of protection, identify gaps, run the necessary testing, and build a practical roadmap for further development.

FAQ
Does A42 work with HealthTech companies?
Yes. We work with the digital products and infrastructure that modern HealthTech is built on: web applications, APIs, cloud environments, source code, and the external attack surface.
Can you check a product that works with medical data?
Yes. We can assess the security of the digital infrastructure, web applications, APIs, cloud environments, and development processes used to work with sensitive information.
Do you work with connected medical devices?
It depends on the specific product and the scope of testing. A42 can assess the software and digital part of such solutions — web applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, accounts, and related digital components. The scope of hardware/embedded testing is defined separately.
We don't have a CISO. Can we work with A42?
Yes. A42 can act as an external security partner and cover exactly the tasks the company needs at its current stage of development.
Do you help prepare for security due diligence?
Yes. We can perform a cybersecurity audit, penetration testing, and an assessment of the external attack surface to find problems before a potential partner, investor, or customer does.
Can we start with a single service?
Yes. You can start with a specific task — for example, a Cybersecurity Audit, AI Pentest, or A42 Recon + Exposure — and gradually scale your cybersecurity program as the company grows.
