Approvals Readiness

Global Approval and Certification Readiness

SCRIMED prepares for domestic and global approvals without claiming them early.

This control plane translates current U.S., EU, UK, Australian, and global assurance expectations into SCRIMED-owned tracks, evidence gates, regional buyer packs, proof routes, and blocked claims before production healthcare operation.

Operating boundary

Prepare evidence now; claim approval only after qualified external review.

SCRIMED Global Approval and Certification Readiness organizes domestic and international privacy, security, AI governance, medical-device, clinical-safety, interoperability, and procurement evidence needed before production healthcare operation. It is readiness planning only. It does not grant legal advice, regulatory approval, HIPAA compliance certification, SOC 2/HITRUST/ISO certification, FDA clearance, ONC certification, EU AI Act conformity, GDPR compliance assurance, NHS approval, MHRA approval, Australian cyber certification, PHI processing authority, public-sector procurement approval, reimbursement assurance, production connector approval, or live clinical care authority.

01Turn approval requirements into SCRIMED-owned evidence packages.
02Stand up audit-ready security, privacy, and AI governance foundations.
03Prepare regulated healthcare AI productization only where strategically chosen.
04Scale global deployments through localized assurance packs.

Source review

Official requirements are reduced to SCRIMED implications and retained evidence work.

United States

HHS HIPAA Security Rule

HHS frames the Security Rule around administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic protected health information, with a January 2025 proposed cybersecurity update noted by HHS.

SCRIMED needs a HIPAA risk analysis, safeguard map, BAA/DPA pathway, breach process, access review, and subprocessor register before PHI or ePHI scope.
United States

FDA Clinical Decision Support Software Guidance

FDA's January 2026 final CDS guidance clarifies when certain decision-support software functions may be excluded from device definition and when device policies continue to apply.

SCRIMED must maintain intended-use analysis, human-review transparency, non-device CDS criteria review, and SaMD escalation gates before clinical recommendation claims.
United States

FDA Artificial Intelligence in Software as a Medical Device

FDA highlights lifecycle management, premarket pathways, modifications, good machine-learning practice, transparency, predetermined change control, and AI-enabled device guidance work.

If SCRIMED deliberately enters regulated SaMD territory, it needs QMS, clinical evidence, risk management, performance monitoring, change control, transparency, and regulatory counsel before launch.
United States

NIST AI Risk Management Framework

NIST AI RMF is voluntary and intended to improve incorporation of trustworthiness considerations into design, development, use, and evaluation of AI systems.

SCRIMED should map AI inventory, risk taxonomy, measurement routines, model evaluation, incident response, and TrustOS evidence to NIST AI RMF language.
European Union

EU Artificial Intelligence Act

The EU describes high-risk AI obligations including risk assessment, data quality, activity logging, documentation, deployer information, human oversight, robustness, cybersecurity, and accuracy; current implementation timelines include 2027 and 2028 high-risk transition dates.

SCRIMED needs EU high-risk triage, technical documentation, data governance, logs, human oversight, post-market monitoring, serious-incident routing, and conformity-assessment planning before EU production claims.
European Union

European Commission GDPR Legal Framework

The Commission identifies the GDPR as the EU data-protection framework, applying since 25 May 2018 and covering personal-data rights, controllers/processors, supervisory authorities, and cross-border mechanisms.

SCRIMED needs GDPR role mapping, lawful-basis review, DPIA, DPA/SCC workflows, data-subject rights process, retention schedule, transfer mechanism, and DPO escalation before EU personal-data scope.
Global

ISO/IEC 42001:2023

ISO describes ISO/IEC 42001 as an AI management system standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving responsible AI management.

SCRIMED should build an AI Management System with policy, objectives, risk treatment, traceability, transparency, audit cadence, and continuous improvement before pursuing ISO 42001 certification.
United Kingdom

NHS Digital Technology Assessment Criteria

NHS DTAC covers clinical safety, data protection, technical security, interoperability, usability, and accessibility; NHS notes it does not replace other required approvals.

SCRIMED needs a UK buyer pack for clinical safety, data protection, security, interoperability, usability, accessibility, DSPT alignment, and medical-device escalation.
United Kingdom

MHRA Software and AI as a Medical Device Change Programme

MHRA roadmap work covers SaMD qualification, intended purpose, classification, premarket requirements, clinical evidence, post-market surveillance, change management, cybersecurity, and AIaMD-specific issues.

SCRIMED needs UK intended-purpose classification, clinical evidence plan, post-market surveillance model, change-control process, cybersecurity evidence, and MHRA counsel before UK clinical claims.
Australia

Australian Cyber Security Centre Essential Eight

The ACSC describes Essential Eight as eight baseline mitigation strategies that make compromise harder, while noting no set of mitigations guarantees protection from every cyber threat.

SCRIMED should map Australian buyer security diligence to Essential Eight maturity evidence, incident reporting, access hardening, patching, backups, application controls, and logging.
