MITA Unveils Medical Device Security, Risk Management Standard

The Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance (MITA) published a medical device cybersecurity playbook aimed to support radiologists and health delivery organizations with building risk management processes around device-related concerns.

The Manufacturer Disclosure Statement for Medical Device Security (MDS2) is a voluntary standard focused on outlining security control features integrated into medical devices. The guidance was developed in partnership with industry stakeholders and aligns with the Food and Drug Administration’s playbook released in 2018.
