We founded MeridianAI after seeing healthcare organizations deploy AI without proper security and governance infrastructure. Hospitals ran clinical AI with no inventory or PHI controls. Medical device companies discovered FDA requirements too late to retrofit.
We built MeridianAI to solve this: security-first AI governance, delivered by senior practitioners (20+ years, CISSP | CISM), exclusively for healthcare.
AI governance here requires depth:
You can't master healthcare AI governance while serving finance, retail, and manufacturing. We chose depth over breadth.
We deliver in 4-10 weeks at 40-70% lower cost than Big Four consultancies. Every engagement led by senior principals—you get expertise, not junior staff.
