## Strengths

- Authorized HITRUST CSF Assessor; Managing Partner Cliff Baker was the lead architect of the HITRUST CSF framework itself.
- Firm positions itself as the named HIPAA expert witness firm for OCR and as advisors to ONC/HHS, a rare direct regulatory-facing credential.
- CEO Nadia Fahim-Koster brings 20+ years as a former hospital-system CISO and Privacy Officer, not just a consulting background.
- Exclusively healthcare-focused practice for over a decade, with named enterprise clients (NASCO, McLaren Health Care, Grady Health System, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Kelsey-Seybold Clinic).
- Verified, named client outcome on record: NASCO's CISO credits a Meditology engagement with concrete data-risk reduction results.

## Things to check

Each one carries the factual basis it rests on.

- Meditology acquired CORL Technologies, an AI-enabled third-party-risk-management software platform, creating a structural software-sales conflict for a firm that also sells independent assessments.
  - Basis: Meditology's own 12 Nov 2025 release states it 'announced the acquisition of CORL Technologies,' describing CORL's offering as 'AI-enabled, workflow-driven TPRM solutions.'
- No public fee schedule, hourly rate, or pricing model is published on any Meditology service, about, or overview page reviewed.
  - Basis: Direct review of the overview, HIPAA/OCR consulting, HITRUST certification, and homepage found no pricing or fee-structure disclosure.
- Meditology's privacy policy discloses nothing about its own internal use of AI tools or how client engagement data is handled by any AI system.
  - Basis: Direct review of the published privacy policy page found only generic 'service providers under confidentiality agreements' language, no AI-specific text.

**Scope.** The Assurance Desk covers data protection, AI governance and cyber security in the United Kingdom and the United States. It scores providers in both: UK-facing firms, and firms based in the United States. Every provider scored so far was selected for data-protection, AI-governance or security-assurance work. Where a page describes law, it names the country that law applies in.

**Who publishes this.** The Assurance Desk is published by Add-Venture Advisory Ltd, company number 11854524, registered in England and Wales. The same owner runs Avouch, a marketing agency that sells AI visibility services to firms of the kind this site covers. That is a conflict of interest, and it is disclosed here.

**Corrections.** If you represent this firm and something here is wrong or out of date, email hello@theassurancedesk.com with the evidence.
