Pharma & Medical Devices

Protect your IP, your supply, and your compliance

One cyber maturity score for pharmaceutical and medical-device manufacturers, protecting your IP, your supply continuity, and your compliance, and showing exactly where your real risk is.

Few industries carry as much at stake as pharma and medtech. A cyberattack here can halt drug production, expose decades of research IP, disrupt a regulated supply chain, or compromise a connected device. You answer to the FDA, the EMA, NIS2, GxP requirements, and a growing list of frameworks at the same time. Manufacturing is now the most-targeted critical-infrastructure sector, and life sciences sits squarely in the crosshairs. Bugmetrics turns your entire security posture into one clear cyber maturity score across people, process, and technology, so you know where you stand, what's most exposed, and where to act first.

The problem

The real problems pharma and medical-device teams face

If you make medicines or devices, these will sound familiar.

01
You're now a top target, with real incidents to prove it
Manufacturing has become the most attacked of all critical-infrastructure sectors, and pharmaceutical and life-sciences manufacturers are increasingly hit by ransomware and nation-state actors. Recent breaches at major pharma manufacturers, with systems taken offline globally and data exfiltrated, show this is no longer hypothetical. The historic NotPetya attack alone caused billions in damages and crippled a pharmaceutical giant's operations.
02
An attack threatens patient safety and supply continuity, not just data
When production or quality systems go down, the consequence isn't only a breach notice; it's drug shortages, delayed batches, and disrupted supply to patients who depend on them. That elevates security from an IT concern to a patient-safety and business-continuity imperative.
03
Your IP is a prime target
Formulations, trial data, manufacturing processes, and device designs represent years of investment and enormous value. Attackers, including state-aligned ones, specifically pursue this intellectual property, and a single exposure can erase a competitive advantage built over a decade.
04
The regulatory stack keeps expanding
Pharma and medtech now navigate FDA cybersecurity expectations (including Section 524B and SBOM requirements for devices), the EU's NIS2 and Cyber Resilience Act, GxP/GMP/GDP quality requirements that increasingly overlap with security controls, plus ISO 27001, SOC 2, and data-protection laws. The same control often has to satisfy a quality inspector and a security regulator at once, and proving it across all of them is its own burden.
05
Connected manufacturing widens your attack surface
Production increasingly relies on connected equipment that was built for reliability, not security, and commercial manufacturing systems often don't meet security standards by default. Each connection between business systems and the plant or lab floor is another potential entry point.
06
M&A and partnerships multiply your exposure
With record deal volume across the sector, every acquisition, CDMO relationship, and research partner inherits, or introduces, cyber risk, and security due diligence has become a core part of every transaction and supplier relationship.
How Bugmetrics helps

How Bugmetrics solves them

Bugmetrics is a cyber maturity platform built for regulated, IP-intensive organizations. It turns your entire security posture into one score across people, process, and technology, and shows you where to act before an attacker, an inspector, or a partner finds the gap.

01
Know where you'd actually be breached
Bugmetrics goes deep across your web applications, mobile apps, network, APIs, and cloud, well beyond a surface scan, to show where you're genuinely exposed across your IT and business-critical systems, then turns it into one defensible score your leadership, regulators, and partners can trust.
02
One evidence base, every framework
Map a control once and Bugmetrics carries it across ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, GDPR, and the DPDP Act, and helps you align the security controls that overlap with NIS2 and GxP expectations, so the same evidence serves a security audit and a quality inspection instead of being rebuilt for each.
03
Protect the IP that defines your business
By surfacing your weakest pillar and most urgent gaps across the systems where research, formulation, and design data live, Bugmetrics helps you focus protection on the assets that matter most, before they become a competitor's advantage.
04
Third-party and supply-chain risk, watched continuously
Because CDMOs, suppliers, research partners, and acquisitions each add exposure, Bugmetrics scores the third parties connected to your business and flags your largest risk, replacing static, once-a-year reviews with an ongoing view and supporting security due diligence in M&A.
05
Always-current, not once a year
Bugmetrics reflects where you stand as your systems and partners change, so a control that drifts out of place surfaces early, not at your next inspection or after an incident has already disrupted production.
06
One score the board and regulators understand
Bugmetrics produces a clear, defensible cyber maturity score in language leadership and regulators can act on, so security investment goes where the real risk is, and you can demonstrate diligence on demand.
Less manual work

How Bugmetrics reduces your team's workload

In pharma and medtech, security and compliance work competes with production, research, and an already heavy quality-and-regulatory burden. Bugmetrics gives that time back. Evidence is collected and mapped automatically across every framework, so the same proof serves an ISO 27001 audit, a SOC 2 review, and the security elements of a regulatory inspection without being re-gathered. Readiness is continuous, so there's no scramble before an audit. And because your score updates as your environment changes, your team focuses on closing the gaps that protect patients, IP, and supply, not assembling documentation. You get the output of a larger security team without adding headcount.

One source of truth

How Bugmetrics manages your information security end to end

Bugmetrics gives pharma and medtech leaders a single place to see and steer security. It measures your maturity across people, process, and technology; benchmarks where you stand; surfaces your weakest area and most urgent gaps; tracks the suppliers, CDMOs, and partners connected to your business; keeps your control evidence organised and audit-ready; and presents it all as one score your team can act on and your regulators and partners can trust. Instead of stitching together scanners, spreadsheets, and point-in-time assessments, you run information security from one source of truth, from scoping and assessment to prioritisation and budget.

Cyber insurance

How Bugmetrics helps with cyber insurance

Pharma and medical-device manufacturers face a costly mix of risks insurers weigh carefully, IP theft, business interruption from halted production, and regulatory exposure. Underwriters increasingly want proof of strong controls, supply-chain oversight, and operational resilience before offering favourable terms. Bugmetrics gives you an evidence-backed view of your cyber maturity across the controls insurers scrutinise most in life sciences, helping your insurer assess you accurately and strengthening your position on coverage, limits, and terms at renewal.

The outcome

What changes for your organization

Your security budget goes where the real risk is, instead of being spread evenly and hoped over. The IP, production, and supply chain that define your business are protected by a posture you can actually see. Audit and inspection prep stops consuming weeks. Your regulators and partners get evidence rather than assurances. And your team spends less time on documentation and more time reducing the risks that threaten patients, research, and continuity.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Bugmetrics for pharma and medical-device companies?

+
Bugmetrics is a cyber maturity platform for pharmaceutical and medical-device manufacturers. It scores your security across people, process, and technology, maps it to the frameworks you answer to, and shows where your real breach risk is, across the IT, cloud, and business-critical systems that protect your IP, production, and supply chain.

Which frameworks does Bugmetrics support for life sciences?

+
Bugmetrics maps your posture across ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, GDPR, and the DPDP Act, and helps align the security controls that overlap with NIS2 and GxP expectations, under one score, with controls mapped across frameworks so the same evidence serves multiple audits.

Can Bugmetrics help with FDA cybersecurity and GxP expectations?

+
Bugmetrics strengthens and evidences the security foundation these expectations depend on, assessing your posture, mapping controls, and keeping evidence audit-ready. FDA device requirements such as SBOMs and GxP quality validation also involve product- and process-specific obligations, so Bugmetrics supports that work rather than replacing your regulatory and quality programs.

How is this different from a compliance tool?

+
Compliance tools measure audit-readiness: whether your controls are complete. Bugmetrics measures breach risk: how exposed you actually are. Your compliance posture is one input to the score, not the whole of it.

Does Bugmetrics handle third-party, CDMO, and supply-chain risk?

+
Yes. Bugmetrics continuously scores the suppliers, CDMOs, and partners connected to your business and flags your largest exposure, and supports security due diligence in M&A and partnerships.

Does Bugmetrics help with cyber insurance?

+
Yes. A clear, evidence-backed cyber maturity score helps insurers assess you accurately and can strengthen your position on coverage and terms at renewal.
