Overview
The UL CAP Evaluation reviews documentation related to the processes of medical device cybersecurity and network connected device cybersecurity. The UL CAP Certification is based on industry initiatives, regulations and best practices related to cybersecurity.
The UL Cybersecurity Assurance Program (UL CAP) for Network Connectable Components of Healthcare and Wellness Systems is a suite of solutions that helps verify compliance to requirements validating that your product and systems offer a reasonable level of protection against risks that may result in unintended or unauthorized access, change or disruption. It is based on the following FDA approved standards:
- UL 2900-1:2017 Software Cybersecurity for Network-Connectable Products, Part 1: General Requirements (1st Edition)
- UL 2900-2-1:2017 Software Cybersecurity for Network-Connectable Products, Part 2-1: Particular Requirements for Network Connectable Components of Healthcare and Wellness Systems (1st Edition)
