Fractional CTO Services for Healthcare and Fintech Companies
On-demand technical leadership for regulated industries. Choose your vertical and we tailor the engagement to your compliance landscape — HIPAA, EHR integration and clinical data for healthcare companies; PCI-DSS and banking APIs in our CTO services for fintech startups.
HealthTech / MedTech
EMR integrations, HIPAA architecture, AI clinical tools, and compliance-grade development for healthcare startups.
FinTech
Payment systems, banking APIs, PCI-DSS compliance, and scalable infrastructure for financial services startups.
What our fractional CTO services include
The same engagement in either vertical: a CTO who has shipped in your regulatory environment, plus the senior team that builds it. From $2,000/month, opening with a free 48-hour codebase and team audit.
Compliance-native architecture
HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and HITRUST designed in from sprint one, not retrofitted the month before an audit. 50+ products shipped across the company, zero compliance failures.
EHR and payment integration
Epic, Oracle Cerner, athenahealth and ModMed on the healthcare side; banking APIs, payment rails and KYC/AML on the fintech side. The integrations that stall roadmaps are the ones we have already shipped.
A roadmap you can raise on
A 90-day prioritised plan with realistic timelines, technical debt mapped, and the architecture story your next investor or enterprise customer is going to interrogate.
A senior team, not just an advisor
The CTO sets direction and a senior engineering team ships against it, so nothing is lost between whoever decided and whoever built. You keep 100% of equity and IP.
Fractional CTO services, answered
What do fractional CTO services for healthcare companies include?+
A fractional CTO gives you senior technical leadership part-time instead of a full-time executive hire. For healthcare companies that means HIPAA-compliant architecture designed in from sprint one rather than retrofitted, EHR and EMR integration work across systems like Epic, Oracle Cerner, athenahealth and ModMed, HL7 FHIR and clinical data modelling, and an engineering roadmap that survives a health system security review. BitLab pairs the CTO with a senior engineering team, so the strategy and the people shipping it are the same engagement.
Where can I find fractional CTO services for healthcare companies?+
BitLab provides fractional CTO services to healthcare and fintech companies across the United States and Canada, starting at $2,000 per month. Every engagement opens with a free 48-hour codebase and team audit — architecture review, HIPAA gap analysis, a technical risk map and a 90-day roadmap — which is yours to keep whether you hire us or not. Book a call from this page and a senior engineer, not a sales rep, will tell you whether we are the right fit.
How much do fractional CTO services cost?+
BitLab engagements start at $2,000 per month, against $180,000 to $350,000 a year in salary alone for a full-time CTO, before equity. The 48-hour codebase and team audit that precedes any engagement is free and carries no obligation.
Do you work with seed-stage and early startups, or only funded companies?+
Both. The fractional model exists precisely because a seed-stage company needs CTO-grade decisions long before it can justify a CTO-grade salary. What we ask is that you are past the idea stage and actually spending on development — if you are pre-product and not yet building, a fractional CTO is not what you need yet, and we will say so.
How is a fractional CTO different from hiring an agency?+
An agency executes a specification you supply. A fractional CTO decides what the specification should be, then owns the outcome — architecture, compliance posture, hiring, vendor choices and the roadmap. BitLab does both: the CTO sets direction and a senior team ships against it, so nothing is lost in translation between whoever decided and whoever built. You keep 100% of equity and IP; everything we build is yours from day one.
Which regulated industries does BitLab specialise in?+
Healthcare technology and financial technology. HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and HITRUST requirements are built into the architecture from sprint one rather than bolted on before an audit. Across both verticals BitLab has shipped 50+ products with zero compliance failures.
