In an environment where digital and AI‑enabled health technologies are rapidly reshaping care, trust is increasingly won or lost on the strength of a company’s security, evidence and governance measures. Robust protection of data is a non-negotiable, clear accountability for AI‑driven solutions is a must, and demonstrable compliance is essential.

This workshop will provide healthtech professionals with a practical, end‑to‑end view of how to build secure, compliant products that are safe, trusted and primed for adoption and scale across complex health environments.

By attending, you will gain an actionable playbook for embedding security and compliance into product design and organisational strategy, sharpening your path to cyber‑readiness, regulatory approval and market access.

Our experts will examine:

Current and emerging cybersecurity threats in health technology
Core principles of cyber governance, board-level responsibilities and security ROI
AI and security – an existential threat or potential ‘vaccine'?
Protecting health data, incident preparedness and penetration testing
The role of ISO certification in compliance, regulation, market access and stakeholder trust

AI regulatory requirements and reality – considerations for compliant product development
