What is Helm?

Helm is a comprehensive (SBOM) and vulnerability management tool designed especially for medical device manufacturers (MDMs) to provide full visibility over your software supply chain and help you prioritize and remediate cybersecurity risks effectively. You can also track multiple software versions across devices, enabling you to easily handle the complex needs of medical devices with long lifespans and infrequent updates. about how Helm helps you meet FDA cybersecurity expectations.

Key features

FDA compliance

  • Supports NTIA and FDA cybersecurity requirements for SBOMs.

  • Provides tools for Secure Product Development Framework (SPDF).

Broad ecosystem visibility

  • Tracks both open-source software (OSS) and commercial third-party software.

  • Supports real-time operating systems (RTOS) and other operating systems to give a comprehensive view of your software ecosystem.

SBOM management

  • Handles SBOMs from open source, commercial tools, and manual uploads.

  • Matches your software against the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and package managers using advanced normalization techniques. For example, Helm will normalize values such as “windows10”, “windows_10”, and “win 10” to the official value, such as Windows 10.

  • Manage component licenses. Import or manually add license information. Helm can also add missing license information.

Vulnerability management

  • Zero in on critical vulnerabilities.

  • Track progress on unremediated vulnerabilities.

Regulatory reporting

inaccurate or missing CPEs and PURLs.

If we can't identify a match in the NVD, you can to match components to software in the NVD. These will be auto-matched for all future SBOMs.
