About CORL Technologies
Our mission is simple: To solve third-party risk management for everyone.
CORL replaces the chaos, inefficiency, and opacity of TPRM workflows with clarity, efficiency, and transparency between healthcare stakeholders. Here is our story.
Our story began in your shoes.
Our mission was born in our time serving as healthcare CISOs and administrators. The breach landscape kept us up at night. Lengthy security assessments prevented us from signing the contract. And at the end of the day, we still knew little about the realities of risk in our vast vendor communities.
We experienced firsthand the tremendous inefficiency and ineffectiveness of existing third-party risk management frameworks. And we decided to make a better way.
Since then, CORL has grown into the healthcare industry’s most trusted provider of TPRM program design, solutions, and services. Our clients include some of the industry’s largest and most well-respected payors and providers, and vendors of virtually every size and segment.
We combine our deep knowledge of healthcare risk, regulations, and requirements with an intuitive and client-centered technology to solve the heart of the TPRM problem for both sides of the healthcare contract.

Our cybersecurity consulting practice Meditology, takes vulnerability head-on through a tightly integrates suite of tech-enabled consulting services that illuminate and address the many facets of healthcare risk. Meditology’s approach couples a deep understanding of healthcare operations with a powerful technology platform to provide healthcare stakeholders new visibility, confidence, and value in their cybersecurity efforts.
Because of our distinct delivery teams, CORL and Meditology are able to maintain complete independence, which is critically important to the objectivity of our security risk assessments, certifications, and penetration tests. At the same time, our shared DNA allows us to provide our vendor customers autonomy to harness their cybersecurity efforts to expedite and enhance the risk assessment process
The values that drive us.
We proudly display our core values as an invitation to have a conversation with you about their importance to our firm’s culture, and what they mean to our relationships with our clients.
The beliefs that differentiate us.
Our differentiated approach is rooted in five essential beliefs.
Don’t just assess, address.
We believe that addressing the nuances of vendor risk requires more than point-in-time assessments. That’s why, in addition to accelerating your security assessments, we deliver hands-on services to actively help our customers improve their risk posture.
Collaboration makes transformation.
We believe the answers to solving TPRM already exist in the shared experiences of payors, providers, vendors, and technology partners. By actively embracing collaboration between these stakeholders, we can transform our shared experiences into meaningful transformation for the healthcare industry.
Reach across the contract.
We believe that healthcare organizations and vendors are equally important stakeholders in solving TPRM. Our solutions reach across the contract, providing both healthcare entities and their vendors with tangible solutions to their most pressing risk related challenges.
Effective approaches are efficient approaches.
We believe that effective approaches to measuring and managing vendor risk must also be efficient. By coupling rigor with realism, our service-centered solutions enable healthcare organizations to achieve real risk understanding across their entire third-party ecosystem and empower vendors to save valuable time.
Challenge accepted norms.
We believe that innovation and transformation require us to question accepted norms. That’s why our CORL Cleared methodology goes beyond immediate time savings by actively working to consolidate controls and bring an end to the era of the security questionnaire.
The people at the heart of our partnership.
CORL’s leadership team has extensive experience in healthcare, information security, compliance, and vendor risk management. They are passionate about transforming TPRM programs and practices industry-wide.
