ISO/IEC 27001 certified

ISO/IEC 27001 is a global information security standard requiring that an organization systematically examine information security risks, design and implement a coherent and comprehensive suite of information security controls and adopt a process to meet these needs on an ongoing basis. Qure.ai is ISO 27001 certified.

Rigorous Cybersecurity Controls

Medical devices, like other computer systems, can be vulnerable to security breaches, potentially impacting the safety and effectiveness of the device. As a medical device manufacturer, Qure.ai is vigilant about identifying risks and hazards associated with our products and proactively mitigating these. Our cybersecurity team assesses vulnerabilities and threats to Qure.ai processing servers on a real-time basis and implements the appropriate control measures for both cloud servers and on-premise installations. Cybersecurity audit reports are part of our FDA submissions and CE technical files and are evaluated by the US FDA and the European Notified Body as part of device clearance/certification. Qure.ai also has substantial cybersecurity liability coverage, with 3rd party underwriters due diligence prior to policy issues.
