HSA consults on draft Best Practices Guide for Medical Device Cybersecurity

25 March 2025

The Health Sciences Authority (“HSA”) is conducting a public consultation to seek feedback on the draft Best Practices Guide for Medical Device Cybersecurity released by the Medical Devices Cluster. The consultation closes on 12 May 2025. 

In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare technology, the cybersecurity of medical devices has become a critical concern. As these devices become increasingly interconnected and software-dependent, they offer immense benefits to patient care, but also present new vulnerabilities to cyber threats. 

The guide seeks to provide best practices recommendations and considerations to all medical device manufacturers and healthcare providers on general cybersecurity principles to ensure medical devices are secure throughout the total product life cycle.
