Supporting ActiveProtective’s mission to prevent fall injuries through secure, compliant digital health innovation.
Vigilant Ops, the leading provider of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) lifecycle management solutions, today announced a partnership with ActiveProtective®, developer of the Tango® Belt to support their continuous cybersecurity and regulatory compliance initiatives.
The Tango Belt is a wearable medical device utilizing sensors to monitor motion and deploy airbags during serious hip-impacting falls and is clinically proven to reduce the risk of hip fracture or hip dislocation due to falls in older adults at risk of major hip injury —one of the leading causes of serious injury among older adults.
With its advanced motion-monitoring sensors and real-time impact mitigation, the Tango Belt represents the convergence of innovation and safety. As adoption rates increase, maintaining software integrity is more critical than ever. To support its mission and meet evolving cybersecurity and regulatory demands, ActiveProtective selected Vigilant Ops to manage and maintain its SBOMs across the entire product lifecycle.
“We couldn’t have done it without Vigilant Ops. Their team not only gave us the tools to generate and manage SBOMs efficiently but also helped us get on the right track with FDA cybersecurity expectations. As a fast-moving MedTech company, having a partner like Vigilant Ops has been essential in navigating regulatory complexity while keeping our focus on patient safety,” said Alan Miller, Director of Operations at ActiveProtective.
SBOMs are a critical part of securing medical devices and maintaining regulatory compliance, especially as the FDA and global authorities tighten cybersecurity oversight. With Vigilant Ops, ActiveProtective gains a scalable and automated solution to produce, manage, and distribute accurate, up-to-date SBOMs that align with FDA guidance and industry best practices.
“Medical device manufacturers like ActiveProtective are on the front lines of patient safety and innovation,” said Ken Zalevsky, CEO of Vigilant Ops. “We’re proud to partner with a company that is redefining fall prevention for older adults. Our platform ensures their software supply chain remains secure, transparent, and audit-ready—an essential step in meeting FDA cybersecurity requirements and safeguarding patient trust.”
