2.7
Cybersecurity
As the device and its software Biostim are computerised systems integrated into larger
information systems, certain rules and good practices must be put in place to ensure the safety
of patients and users.
Électronique du Mazet does not supply or have control over the operating environment of its
products, it is therefore the responsibility of the practitioner to ensure that the following
recommendations are respected.
2.7.1
Good practices for IT security
•
Keep your software up to date, including the operating system (Windows or MacOs)
•
Use operating system accounts to prioritise access.
•
Use strong passwords to access accounts
•
Lock the computer when not in use
•
Back up the Biostim database regularly
•
Check the authenticity of the third-party software you install
•
Use antivirus and firewall software
•
Check regularly in the Cloud menu for updates
2.7.2
Technical information
•
The Biostim software is a Java program
•
The software configurations and the database are saved in the biostimdata folder of the
user folder (e.g. C:\Users\romain\biostimdata).
•
The software uses port 61976 of the local loop (localhost / 127.0.0.1) to check that there
are not several instances of the software running at the same time.
•
The software uses a proprietary USB driver to communicate with the device
2.7.3
Network communications
•
The device does not require a network connection to operate
•
If the user agrees (by checking the BiostimCloud option), data can be sent regularly to
the Electronique du Mazet servers
o
All these data are anonymised
o
They are only collected for statistical purposes, or to facilitate remote assistance
•
The device can also communicate with the Electronique du Mazet servers, to find out if
updates are available, and if so, to update.
•
All exchanges use a secure protocol (https)
