What is Helm?

Vulnerability management built specifically for medical device manufacturers

Streamline vulnerability management across your medical device portfolio with our platform designed by former FDA reviewers. Unlike generic cybersecurity tools, Helm is purpose-built for the unique challenges medical device manufacturers face with regulatory compliance and patient safety.

Seamless integration & SBOM management

Take advantage of our powerful API and integration options to continuously ingest SBOM updates, or choose to manually create or upload SBOMs, automatically match components using our powerful alias rules engine. Immediately rescore your  product portfolio to reflect each device's unique security context.

Intelligent risk prioritization

Helm leverages medical device-specific exploitability sources including EPSS, CISA KEV, ExploitDB, Metasploit, CWE Top 25, and NVD to help you focus on the vulnerabilities that pose real risk to patient safety and your bottom line. Minimize false positives with AI-powered intelligence that detects affected tech stacks.

Automated remediation workflow

Get both short-term mitigations and upgrade paths tailored to medical device environments. Then bulk remediate vulnerabilities and import vulnerability remediation across your device portfolio, enabling consistent vulnerability management at scale.

FDA-ready compliance reporting

Automatically generate single or multi-product compliance-ready reports including CDX and SPDX SBOMs, VEX, VDR, vulnerabilities reports, and our proprietary Medcrypt FDA SBOM to streamline regulatory submissions and audits.

Why do you need Helm?

Your cybersecurity challenges

You're responsible for securing complex, multi-component medical devices with a growing software attack surface, but existing tools aren't built for medical device reality. You need automated prioritization, accurate matching, and scalable reporting that keeps pace with FDA expectations.

Time wasted on false positives

  • Independent testing reveals SBOM tools can generate up to 74% false positive rates, requiring engineering teams to investigate numerous irrelevant vulnerability alerts.
  • In head-to-head testing, leading competitors generated 160 irrelevant alerts out of 215 total vulnerabilities identified, forcing teams to waste time on non-applicable security issues.

Resource allocation

  • Missing or inaccurate vulnerability data delays regulatory submissions by 3-6 months, directly impacting time-to-market.
  • Medical device manufacturers report that engineering teams spend considerable time investigating false positive alerts and managing manual SBOM processes, reducing capacity for innovation and core product development activities.

Regulatory pressure intensifying

  • FDA enforcement intensified in October 2023 with refuse-to-accept policies for inadequate SBOM documentation.
  • The FDA has increased cybersecurity-related enforcement actions, creating significant compliance pressures and potential market access delays for manufacturers.

Your solution

Upload & automate SBOM creation

Upload or manually create SBOMs (CycloneDX or SPDX) with ease—or plug Helm into your CI/CD pipeline via API, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or other integrations. This ensures your supply chain view is always precise and current.

Focus on the vulns that matter most

Helm uses risk intelligence from EPSS, CISA KEV, ExploitDB, and Metasploit, as well as leveraging powerful AI-powered guidance to detect vulnerable tech stacks and recommend mitigations or upgrade paths for your vulnerabilities. This helps you cut through the noise and focus remediation on the issues that matter most.

Rescore, remediate & automate

Use Helm's bulk rescoring and auto-rescoring to adjust vulnerability impact across product versions. Bulk remediate and import remediation across versions, minimizing rework. Leverage our powerful rules engine to automate vulnerability identification and lifecycle tracking. Generate FDA-ready SBOMs, VEX, and VDR reports with one click.

Rule-based compliance automation

Leverage Helm’s rules engine to standardize metadata hygiene across products — create alias rules for more accurate, consistent component matching and lifecycle rules to automate EOS/EOL and support-level data. These rules help ensure audit-ready consistency and smooth regulatory alignment.

FDA-ready reporting & compliance

Helm enables one-click export of the Medcrypt FDA SBOM—built by former FDA reviewers—as well as FDA-compliant CycloneDX or SPDX SBOMs, plus VEX and VDR vulnerability reports. Historical snapshots are stored in your report history for audit-ready visibility across product versions.

Key features & benefits

1
Comply & Succeed

CI/CD integration

Seamlessly embed Helm into your DevSecOps workflows using our API, GitHub Action, or Azure DevOps integration.

Automate SBOM ingestion and vulnerability detections directly within build pipelines, ensuring consistent security at every release phase.

2
ANalyze & Priortize

Automate risk prioritization

AI-powered analytics

Leverage AI-powered analytics to rank vulnerabilities in real time, detecting affected tech stacks and providing short-term and upgrade recommendations. Helm uses data from EPSS, CISA KEV, ExploitDB, Metasploit, NVD, and CWE Top‑25 to accurately gauge exploitability.

Bulk rescore vulnerabilities according to your device security posture, apply cross-version remediation, and automate Windows CVE patching in a single streamlined workflow.

3
Comply & Succeed

Set alias & lifecycle rules

Manage SBOM consistency at scale using Helm’s automated rules engine. All rules apply automatically across existing and future SBOMs, saving time and reducing errors.

Match components consistently with alias rules

Alias rules help resolve unmatched, mismatched, or ambiguous components by mapping them to verified software entries from the NVD — improving vulnerability matching and accuracy.

Ensure EOS/EOL consistency with lifecycle rules

Lifecycle rules apply Level of Support and EOS/EOL metadata across your portfolio to simplify FDA reporting and keep support status current.

3
Comply & Succeed

Auto-enrich data

Automatically enrich and maintain SBOM and vulnerability metadata: import missing license info, correct CPEs/PURLs, refresh severity and exploitability details, auto-rescore vulnerabilities as fix data arrives, and auto-patch Ubuntu CVEs that were fixed upstream.

The result: low-effort, audit-ready inventories.

4
Comply & Succeed

FDA-compliant reporting

One-click single or multi-product reports

Generate single or multi-product FDA-compliant reports with one click, including our proprietary FDA SBOM, built by former FDA reviewers.

How does Helm differ from other tools?

Built for medical device FDA and NTIA cybersecurity needs

Unlike general-purpose SBOM tools, Helm is engineered specifically for the medical device industry—built around FDA and NTIA cybersecurity needs rather than trying to serve every sector. It combines industry‑focused SBOM management, tailored vulnerability analytics, and compliance-ready outputs into a unified platform.

Superior accuracy & precision in head-to-head testing

In head‑to‑head testing against leading competitors, Helm demonstrated superior accuracy, identifying more valid vulnerabilities and matching components more reliably than competitor tools—while producing zero classified false positives.

These results underscore Helm’s emphasis on precision — eliminating noise, boosting accuracy in dependency matching, and minimizing false alarms — helping medical device security teams focus on what matters most.
