Built for trust: Security by design at Pathomation
We recognize that cybersecurity is a shared concern among users and providers in the digital pathology ecosystem. We are committed to collaborating with industry bodies, regulators, standards organizations, suppliers, institutions, academicians, security researchers, and other stakeholders to stay ahead of information security threats and risks.
We incorporate industry-standard security principles in the design and development of our products and services from the outset, adopting a “Privacy by Design” approach. This involves taking a risk-based perspective that considers the intended use, user environment, and other critical factors influencing the type and level of security controls required (“Security by Default”). We hold our suppliers to the same rigorous standards to which we hold ourselves.
To enhance our security measures, we utilize AppCheck, a comprehensive vulnerability scanning platform developed by leading penetration testing experts. AppCheck enables us to perform thorough assessments of our web applications, APIs, and infrastructure, identifying potential vulnerabilities throughout the software development lifecycle. By integrating AppCheck into our development process, we can detect and address security flaws early, ensuring robust protection against potential threats. This proactive approach not only enhances the security of our products but also streamlines our development process, reducing the time and resources required for post-release patches and maintenance.
Post-launch, we continuously monitor trusted sources for information about security threats, vulnerabilities, and incidents to identify and address security risks throughout the product lifecycle. This proactive approach enables us to develop timely security updates or implement compensating controls, working closely with our customers to mitigate impacts on the intended use, safety, and effectiveness of our products and services, as well as the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of associated data.
The security of your information is one of our top priorities. If you become aware of potential vulnerabilities or incidents related to any of our products, we encourage you to contact us via our helpdesk at Helpdesk – Pathomation.
