Independent medical practices are navigating a pivotal moment — AI adoption, rising compliance demands, and cybersecurity risks that didn't exist five years ago. Meridian Advisory provides fractional CAIO and CISO leadership for the practices that need C-suite expertise but not a full-time hire.
Schedule an Intro CallIndependent medical practices are under pressure from every direction. AI tools are moving from novelty to necessity — and with them come new obligations around patient data, vendor risk, and regulatory compliance that most practices aren't equipped to navigate alone.
A full-time CISO or Chief AI Officer costs $250K–$400K per year. A consultant gives you a report and leaves. Neither fits the reality of how independent practices operate.
Meridian Advisory was built to close that gap — embedded, fractional leadership that works alongside your team, not just for it.
I've spent 11+ years building and operating Tuearis, a managed security services firm, from the ground up. In that time I've led HIPAA and HITRUST compliance engagements, built security programs for healthcare-adjacent organizations, and learned what it actually takes to execute — not just advise.
Most of the fractional CISO market is consultants who've never owned a P&L, managed a security incident at 2am, or sat across from a physician explaining what a breach means for their patients. I have. That's the difference.
Meridian Advisory exists because independent medical practices deserve the same quality of technology and security leadership that health systems have — without the overhead that only health systems can afford.
A 30-minute conversation is enough to understand whether Meridian Advisory is the right fit for your practice. No commitment required.
