As these regulations become more complex and far-reaching, expert guidance from both DEKRA and D.med Software will be essential in helping businesses remain compliant and resilient against evolving cyber threats. Through this partnership, we aim to provide specialized support, empower organizations to protect data, and help them adapt to the rapidly changing digital landscape”, said Rubén Lirio, Global Director of Cybersecurity at DEKRA.
As part of this collaboration, DEKRA will conduct independent third-party assessments and audits of D.med Software's customers to evaluate their compliance with cybersecurity regulatory requirements, thereby enhancing the customers' ability to comply with the regulatory framework.
“For D.med Software, this partnership with DEKRA is an important milestone in our mission to secure IoT and other connected devices. Our background and expertise in the world of medical device cybersecurity validates our ability to address cybersecurity challenges in the automotive, industrial and consumer IoT sectors, among others. Working with DEKRA allows us to leverage our combined extensive expertise and global reach to ensure that our solutions meet the highest standards of quality and security.
