His expertise includes threat/vulnerability management, remediation planning, and infrastructure penetration testing. In addition to working in various IT security roles, Wayne Nordstrom is a member of ISACA (formerly the Information Systems Audit and Control Association; the organization now goes by its acronym).
ISACA ensures that technology professionals receive the skills, education, and community support they need to advance their careers and organizations. ISACA, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and the MDIC (Medical Device Innovation Consortium) unveiled the Medical Device Discovery Appraisal Program (MDDAP) to improve patient safety and device quality. The program helps manufacturers of medical devices understand, measure, and boost their operations to reach best practices.
The MDDAP framework is a customized Capacity Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) - a model for guiding process improvement - tailored for the medical device industry. Because of MDDAP, medical device manufacturers are evaluated on the CMMI appraisal framework to help them identify opportunities for process improvement.
