Bringing the Blueprint to Life: How Medcrypt Maps to the Joint Security Plan

From Blueprint to Building Code

Over the past several weeks, we’ve explored what it takes to build a secure “house” for your medical device - from the early design and development stages to long-term maintenance and supplier management. Each phase represents a key part of your cybersecurity foundation, structure, and ongoing resilience. But just as every physical building must meet established safety codes, your medical device’s “cyber house” must also align to a recognized industry framework - one that ensures your foundation is solid, your materials are sound, and your structure can withstand stress over time. That framework is the Health Sector Coordinating Council’s Joint Security Plan (JSP).

Why the JSP Matters

The JSP serves as the medical device industry’s building code for cybersecurity - offering a common language, lifecycle framework, and set of expectations that help manufacturers align their product security practices with FDA guidance and global standards.

It connects the dots between concept and commercialization, guiding teams on:

• How to design for security from the outset
• How to verify and validate controls during development
• How to manage suppliers, vulnerabilities, and updates after launch

Where many teams get stuck is translating what they’re already doing into this structured framework. That’s where Medcrypt’s portfolio comes in.

How Medcrypt Maps to the JSP

At Medcrypt, we’ve built our portfolio around the same lifecycle outlined in the JSP - ensuring you have the right tools, data, and expertise at every stage of your journey. Whether you’re just laying your cybersecurity foundation or strengthening your operational defenses, Medcrypt meets you where you are.

Foundation: Secure Design and Development
Our Services team helps manufacturers identify cybersecurity requirements early - embedding security into design controls, architecture, and supplier relationships. We help teams understand not just what to build, but how to build it securely from the start.

Framing: Cryptography and Communication
Our Guardian platform supports encryption, identity, and trust for connected devices -the framework of your security house. It enables secure communication, certificate management, and protection of sensitive data across the device ecosystem.

Inspection: Verification and Vulnerability Management
Helm streamlines vulnerability monitoring and SBOM management so you can identify risks, prioritize them intelligently, and stay audit-ready throughout your lifecycle. It’s like your cybersecurity home inspection — confirming that everything inside your walls is functioning as it should.

Maintenance: Continuous Support and Postmarket Readiness
Our Services team provides ongoing partnership through threat monitoring, FDA submission support, and postmarket guidance - helping ensure your “house” stays safe and compliant, even as threats evolve and devices age.

From Compliance to Confidence

The JSP doesn’t just define compliance - it enables confidence. By aligning your cybersecurity practices to the JSP and leveraging Medcrypt’s portfolio, you can demonstrate to regulators, customers, and your internal teams that your devices aren’t just compliant - they’re built to last.

So wherever you are in your product security journey - whether building from the ground up or reinforcing existing structures - Medcrypt can help you bring the blueprint to life and keep your cybersecurity house up to code.
