Secure Software Development

Secure by design. From the first line of code.

Full design control from specification to code, continuous implementation verification, and software supply chain management through dependency control and vulnerability management per IEC 81001-5-1.

What It Does

Security and compliance built into the development toolchain.

Medical software is an increasingly targeted attack surface. A vulnerability in a device software component is not just a security incident, it's a patient safety event and a regulatory failure. IEC 81001-5-1 sets the standard for health software cybersecurity, but satisfying it requires far more than a security audit at release time.

Security and compliance controls embedded directly in the workflow: design alignment, anomaly detection, and full dependency and vulnerability lifecycle management, from detection to approval and documentation.

Software Bill of Materials: every third-party dependency tracked, versioned, and continuously checked against the NVD, GitHub Advisory, and OSV databases. One new CVE disclosure triggers an immediate alert across every affected project.

Key Features
Implementation Verification

Continuous checks of implementation against software specifications

Automatic controls verify implementation against software specifications at every level (design files, code, and test artifacts), enabling early detection of anomalies before they propagate into the compliance record.

SBOM Management

Dependency detection, approval, and documentation

Plug-and-play dependency detection automatically generates and maintains the Software Bill of Materials for every software item. Every dependency is tracked, approved, and documented, giving teams full visibility into their software supply chain with minimal setup.

Vulnerability Management

Automated CVE detection with risk impact assessment

Covers the full vulnerability lifecycle: automated detection, risk-based mitigation planning, approval workflow, and documentation. Distinguishes between a minor dependency update and a finding requiring an immediate IEC 81001-5-1 risk management response.

Secure Development Guardrails

Prevent vulnerable code from entering the build

Enforces security coding standards and blocks dependencies with known critical vulnerabilities from being introduced into the codebase, making the insecure path structurally unavailable during development.

Standards Addressed

Built to satisfy the standards that matter most to your auditors.
