Reviewed by [MedTech Cyber Tips Editorial Team](/authors/editorial-team) · Published Jun 28, 2026 · Last reviewed July 2026 HICP 2026 is out and, while HICP is written for healthcare delivery organizations, three of its practices bind manufacturers indirectly through [HDO](/glossary/hdo) procurement: 1\. Medical device security practice: HDOs are increasingly asking for SBOMs, [MDS2](/glossary/mds2) forms, and end-of-support horizons at RFP time. If you can't deliver, you lose deals. 2\. Vulnerability management practice: HDOs expect a working [CVD](/glossary/cvd) channel and a published disclosure timeline. They will test it during due diligence. 3\. Third-party risk management practice: HDOs are being asked to keep evidence that their device suppliers operate a security program. Expect security questionnaires to get longer and more prescriptive in the 2026–2027 procurement cycle. If your commercial team hasn't seen HICP 2026 yet, hand them the manufacturer-facing sections - the language HDOs use in RFPs is largely lifted from it.
