Pentest for Medical Device Regulation
The Medical Device Regulation (MDR) requires the verification and validation of the security of medical devices and software. The Medical Device Coordination Group states in its guide to cybersecurity for medical devices that the primary means of security verification and validation is testing.
The procedure for a penetration test for a medical device, usually consisting of one or more hardware devices and associated software, is usually done on a case-by-case basis due to the different use cases of these medical devices and their functionality. The key questions for a penetration test of a medical device are usually:
Can the patient's health be negatively affected by direct manipulation of the device?
Can measured data be manipulated so that the patient is harmed due to incorrect or lack of treatment?
Is the patient's health data adequately protected in the processing IT systems?
Medical devices often consist of a technical interaction of sensors/measuring devices, an embedded Linux OS with wireless data transmission via Bluetooth/RFID/WIFI, while data processing is carried out on Windows computers, smartphones and/or in the cloud.
The procedure, or the specific attack vectors to be tested, are therefore initially discussed with the customer and usually include a test of the wireless data transmission, opening the device to identify further attack vectors and, depending on the individual case, testing of web applications and APIs.
Our service in a nutshell:
Conducting Penetration Testing (Pentest)
Since 2013 our certified penetration tester team conduct pentest for IT infrastructures, web applications, mobile APPs (iOS/Android) and other targets while every time using a structured approach based on all relevant publications. As a service provider evaluate the identified and exploited vulnerabilities based on the associated business risk and compiling it into a report that contains a summary for the IT management and the technical details of the vulnerabilities identified. After you fix the vulnerabilities, we usually perform a retest without any additional charge.

Pentest use the same tools and techniques that real attackers would use to break into a system. It includes the use of security tools and carrying out manual tests to uncover vulnerabilities. Thus is it not a automatic vulnerability assessment. On the contrary, as a service provider for penetration testing we are using the same tools and techniques that real attackers would use to break into a system. But while a real attacker only needs to find and exploit one vulnerability, a penetration tester checks all relevant attack vectors.
Having a structured approach is one of the most important factors to achive this in order to provide a professional pentesting service. Our approach is based on all relevant standards and publications.
Pentest Offer for MDR
Pentest are always a compromise between effort and cost, to get a reasonable price. Successful pentest offer a good balance between these criteria to facilitate the testing of all relevant attacks and attack vectors. The cost of such a test always depends on the time the penetration tester spends and on the extent and complexity of the IT system or web applications. While a penetration test for a small application takes only some days, it can take several weeks for a large network or complex application.
For a pentest offers we do require prior information about the systems and applications that are to be examined. It is important that we get an initial impression of the target. For web applications, for example, test access can be helpful. Any additional information, e.g. the framework etc., can make it easier for us to draft a suitable offer for you. If you need us to pentest an IT system, we will need the corresponding network addresses in advance. In this particular case, we will first perform a non-invasive network scan to get a first look at your network. We will provide a detailed offer once we can estimate the effort required.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is difficult to give an generalized answer to this question, since the toolset used basically depends on the respective test object. Of course, we use tools such as nmap to check IT infrastructures or the Burp Suite Professional in the case of web applications.
However, we believe that publishing a tool list is mere window dressing, as each target system should be tested individually. However, you are welcome to ask us about the tools we used after the pentest.
