Philips Cybersecurity
consulting services

Expertly engaging our healthcare partners to better protect

their medical systems, while enabling critical patient care

Services to conduct organizational security assessments and provide actionable recommendations

Philips Cybersecurity consulting services support your healthcare organization’s efforts to enhance cybersecurity for medical technologies. Our expertly trained and certified consultants work with you to perform a security analysis of all connected medical devices which helps delineate the security controls and processes you have in place against your specific threat profile. As a result of these efforts, a cyber maturity assessment report reveals your customized security posture with recommendations for sustainable threat mitigation that make sense for your business operating model.

The proliferation of connected medical devices is rapid. For the COO, CIO, CTO, or departmental director, managing the proper security profile of hundreds or even thousands of devices across the enterprise is a challenge. Any connected device could become the doorway to a devastating cyberattack. Services that help identify the inventory, define the risk, and propose solutions can assist in establishing a confident path forward.

Recommend

Philips takes a 4-phased approach to cybersecurity consulting. A consultancy engagement is primarily between hospital stakeholders and Philips security experts with defined deliverables across each phase – scoping, discovery, analysis, and recommendation. The intent is to partner with you to identify security gaps and develop a strategy for remediation or mitigation.

How consulting can work for you

Facilitated by your Philips account executive, the consultancy engagement team consists of a Philips Healthcare Transformation Services professional and a Philips Group Security professional. These two experts work hand-in-hand with your in-house staff to help construct your security landscape along with recommendations of security best practices based on a globally recognized risk framework.

Before there is a commitment to proceed, Philips conducts a pre-assessment to help both parties understand the high-level issues, critical success factors and goals. As a result of this initial effort, both Philips and customer can proceed with the following detailed Philips Cybersecurity consulting workflow:

Scope

An enhanced assessment is conducted and is followed with an overview of the customer’s medical device environment. The consultants discuss the scope of the engagement with the customer and define what improvements the customer feels are required to arrive at the target security profile. The scope of the project is then detailed in a final document.

Discover

Responses to a fine-tuned cybersecurity question are collected via interviews and workshops with relevant stakeholders, either in person or remote virtual mechanism. The consultants analyze the information, along with pertinent device data, and develop a security overview, threat profile, and risk assessment based on the NIST security framework.

Analysis

The consultants perform a ‘gap analysis’ following the NIST framework using insights derived from the Discover phase. The result is a comprehensive analysis of gaps in areas w.r.t. targets set by the customer during the scoping phase. For example: number of security risks, current security risk posture, and relevant organizational unit (i.e. surgery dept.). Findings are discussed with the customer for input into final recommendations.

Recommend

Consultants present their recommendations regarding the next steps in developing a comprehensive cybersecurity program, possibly identifying one or more useful modules of the Philips Cybersecurity services offering, which might fit the needs of the customer to close the identified gaps. Customer and consultants agree on a path forward.
