MedTech sales are unlike any other industry, with complex treatment pathways, multiple stakeholders, and long adoption cycles making commercial traction especially challenging.

Cybersecurity isn’t just about protecting data — it’s about protecting patients and proving your MedTech innovation is safe, effective, and ready for the world. Regulators across the globe — from the FDA and EU MDR to IMDRF, Singapore HSA, and Japan PMDA — now require cybersecurity to be treated as a core element of device safety. Yet too many early-stage MedTech startups still fall for outdated assumptions that slow approvals, block partnerships, and scare off investors.
