Healthcare
When a supplier's software goes down, care stops.
Electronic health records, pathology and lab systems, patient portals, and connected devices all lean on third-party suppliers and open-source components. In healthcare the blast radius is measured in cancelled operations, not just downtime, so knowing what is inside your software is a patient-safety control.
The software underneath
- Electronic health record and patient-portal platforms
- Pathology, laboratory, and diagnostics software
- Connected medical devices and their firmware
- Third-party clinical suppliers and their software
The Synnovis ransomware attack
June 2024The Qilin ransomware group hit Synnovis, a pathology provider to the NHS. Services across seven hospitals run by two London trusts were disrupted; in the first 13 days, 1,134 planned operations and 2,194 outpatient appointments were cancelled, and blood testing in the capital dropped to around 10% of normal levels.
A single third-party supplier became a single point of failure for frontline patient care across an entire region.
NIS2
Under the EU NIS2 Directive, health providers are essential entities that must manage supply-chain security, including the security of relationships with direct suppliers and the software components they ship.
See what is inside your software
Resolve the full dependency tree and produce an SBOM, so you can react the moment a component is found vulnerable.
Catch malicious and abandoned components
Flag typosquats, malicious releases, and end-of-life packages that will never get another security fix.
Prioritise what is reachable
Separate the vulnerabilities your code can actually reach from the noise, so clinical teams act on what matters.
