Black Talon launches AURA Ai for secure practice AI chat

Black Talon Security said it launched AURA Ai™, a secure healthcare-focused AI companion for doctors, dentists, and practice administrators. It combines healthcare knowledge with each organization’s approved policies and protocols so leaders get practice-specific answers without putting sensitive questions into uncontrolled public AI tools.

HEALTH desk — clinic staff still paste a privacy question, a safety checklist, or a contract into a public chatbot such as ChatGPT, because it is faster than finding the handbook, and that chat keeps no redaction and no log. Black Talon’s announcement is a companion that answers from the practice’s own approved documents, with role-based access and an audit record, instead of a public tool the practice never approved.

What the lines under the headline say, and what the lede says the launch is. A line says AURA Ai is a secure AI companion expertly trained to assist healthcare practice leaders and staff. Expertly trained is the page’s phrase. The next line says AURA combines healthcare-focused knowledge with organization-specific information to help practice leaders find answers and reduce administrative stress. The lede says Black Talon Security today announced the launch of AURA Ai™, a secure, healthcare-focused AI companion and personal assistant designed to give doctors, dentists, and administrators secure and knowledgeable support. A companion, here, means a tool a person talks to for the next step, not a second clinician. Today announced is the release’s.

The list of jobs the release says a practice already carries. The platform was designed to address the challenges faced by healthcare professionals, who are expected to navigate HIPAA, OSHA, human resources, cybersecurity, contracts, insurance requirements, office policies, clinical preferences, and constantly changing best practices. HIPAA is the US law that sets rules for health information. OSHA is the federal workplace-safety agency. Human resources is hiring, pay, and the employee handbook. The release prints HIPAA and OSHA and does not spell them out. AURA helps reduce that burden by combining healthcare-focused knowledge with the organization’s approved documents, policies, procedures, and protocols. Reduce that burden is the release’s claim.

Gary Salman, as a quote, not as a survey of every clinic. Gary Salman, CEO and co-founder of Black Talon Security, said doctors and practice administrators are asked to be experts in almost every aspect of running a healthcare organization, and that is no longer realistic. He said even the most experienced leaders cannot know every answer. He explained that they created AURA in response to an urgent need they saw among their clients and other healthcare professionals. He said they required an AI companion that can answer questions, clarify next steps, and collaborate on the work, while operating within a more controlled environment designed to protect sensitive healthcare information. No longer realistic, urgent need, and more controlled are his sentences. They are not a count of clients this desk made.

What the Knowledge Vault is. At the center of AURA is the Knowledge Vault, a secure repository for approved materials such as employee handbooks, policies, standard operating procedures, incident-response plans, contracts, vendor agreements, contact lists, and practitioner-specific protocols. A standard operating procedure, or SOP, is a written step-by-step for a task the office repeats. An incident-response plan is the written list of what to do when something goes wrong, including a cyber incident. A practitioner-specific protocol is the way one clinician wants a task done. The release says AURA utilizes relevant Vault content to provide responses that reflect how the practice actually works. Relevant, and how the practice actually works, are the release’s words.

What the release says a person can ask it to do. Users can ask AURA to explain or compare documents, draft SOPs and checklists, prepare employee communications, organize incident-response steps, create onboarding materials, and support staff training. Onboarding is the packet and the lessons a new hire gets. AURA can also help managers think through difficult employee conversations and organize approved protocols into repeatable workflows, including surgical tray checklists for common procedures. A surgical tray checklist is the list of instruments set out for a procedure. Think through, and including, are the release’s. The release does not print a sample conversation or a sample tray.

The ease-of-use lines, and what each one is. Ease of use is a core feature, the release says. AURA supports natural conversation and voice interaction, allowing users to talk through a question without writing a detailed prompt. A prompt, here, is the typed instruction a chatbot expects. Screen analysis lets AURA review documents, financial reports, dashboards, and workflows displayed on a user’s computer. Visual Feed enables users to show AURA a device, room, physical control, or workflow through a camera and receive relevant guidance. A physical control, here, is a control in the room, not a file on the computer. The release does not name the camera or the computer.

The four examples the release prints, and whose examples they are. AURA can review a cyber risk incident response plan, identify immediate steps, and create a checklist for the privacy officer. A practice administrator can quickly turn a policy into a detailed, applicable SOP or employee training module. Leadership can evaluate a possible expansion market by having AURA summarize growth opportunities, research demographics, identify competition, and build an action plan. AURA’s Visual Feed can do a complete walkthrough of the practice, review policies, identify potential compliance issues, list improvement considerations, and create a dated inspection note with supporting photos. A privacy officer is the person charged with the practice’s privacy rules. Demographics, here, means who lives in that market. Quickly, complete, and potential are the release’s words. They are not a walkthrough this desk filmed. The release does not name the market or the plan.

The security lines, and the alternative the release names. AURA was skillfully designed to give healthcare organizations a sanctioned alternative to uncontrolled employee use of public AI tools. Skillfully is the release’s adverb. Sanctioned, here, means the practice approved this tool, instead of staff pasting questions into a public chatbot on their own. With data security as a top priority, AURA Ai provides role-based access, redaction, logging, auditable records, and an experience designed for ongoing support. Role-based access means the signed-in person sees only what that role is allowed to see. Redaction means sensitive text is hidden. An auditable record is a log of what was asked and what came back. Top priority, and ongoing support, are the release’s.

Who the release says can get it, and what may change by setup. AURA Ai is available through Black Talon Security for healthcare, dental, specialty-practice, and multi-location organizations. A specialty practice is a clinic built around one kind of care. Multi-location means more than one office. Features and security controls may vary by configuration. Organizations interested in AURA can request a demonstration and bring a difficult question, approved document, or time-consuming workflow to explore with the platform. The learn-more line is blacktalonsecurity.com/aura-ai. May vary, and request a demonstration, are the release’s. The release does not print a price.

Paul Blocchi, as a quote. Paul Blocchi, Director of AI at Black Talon Security, said AI is a powerful tool, but the ultimate objective remains human-centric: empowering teams to work effectively and businesses to scale sustainably. He said that with AURA, they are providing healthcare leadership teams with a personalized intelligence engine that gives them the peace of mind of managing data securely while adopting artificial intelligence. The page also lifts that second sentence as a pull quote under his name. Human-centric, personalized intelligence engine, and peace of mind are his sentences. They are not a test this desk ran.

Who the about box says the company is, and who to call. Black Talon Security provides advanced cybersecurity solutions for healthcare, dental, professional service businesses, and other highly regulated organizations. Its services extend beyond conventional IT support to help organizations identify vulnerabilities, reduce cyber risk, strengthen compliance, and defend against evolving threats. The company’s proprietary EAGLEi™ platform provides organizations with actionable security insights, measurable risk ratings, and ongoing visibility into their cybersecurity posture. EAGLEi is a different product from AURA. The about box describes it as security insights and risk ratings. Actionable, and measurable, are the about box’s words. They are not a rating this desk checked. The author contact is Gary Piper, Black Talon Security, +1 630-634-2973. Schema.org names that same person as author. The page says email us here and does not print the address in the body this desk read.

What the card shows, and what the 15:15 GMT release does not print. The card is the EIN launch graphic: a dark AURA Ai Chat screen. A header this desk reads says “Meet Your New Secure AI Assistant.” Tabs this desk reads include FORENSIC CHAT and QUICK CHAT, plus HELP and INCOGNITO OFF. A role line this desk reads says CEO / OWNER DENTIST, marked online. A thread title this desk reads is “Surgical assistant scalpel injury,” with a clock this desk reads as 7/30/2026, 9:12:07 AM, and an HMAC-SHA256 mark. HMAC-SHA256, here, is a short code printed next to the message. An assistant line this desk reads says it is a secure, healthcare-aligned AI assistant, and that its responses are designed to help manage and operate the practice using advanced AI technology. A user line this desk reads says a surgical assistant cut herself on a scalpel that was used on a patient. A control this desk reads says EXPUNGE. A left label this desk reads says Aura GRC Hub. GRC, here, is governance, risk, and compliance. Those words are the product screen’s, as this desk reads the pixels. The 24 Sep release does not print the scalpel transcript, 7/30/2026, HMAC-SHA256, FORENSIC CHAT, or INCOGNITO. The wire’s clock is 15:15 GMT on 24 Sep 2026. The card has no desk date laid over it. The schema image on the wire is the Black Talon logo, 300 by 126. The page’s og:image is that logo at Facebook size. This filing does not ship the logo. The large PNG of the chat screen is the source image.

What the product page adds, and what it does not let you file as the wire. The page at blacktalonsecurity.com/aura-ai, read 25 Sep 2026, does not print 15:15 GMT, Katonah as a dateline, the Salman quotes, the Blocchi quotes, or the four examples. A line says AURA turns AI’s black box into a glass box by grounding every answer in your own secure Knowledge Vault and showing the source behind it. It says built-in guardrails are designed to prevent hallucinations, making every answer explainable, traceable, and verifiable. A hallucination, here, is an answer the system states that is not in the documents. A guardrail is a limit on what it may say. Your own is the page’s address to the practice. Glass box, and designed to prevent, are the page’s claims. They are not a check this desk ran. A disclaimer on the same page says important legal, clinical, HR, financial, and compliance decisions still require qualified human review and organizational approval. HR, here, is human resources. The sentence is the page’s. The 24 Sep release does not print it. The same page adds data-loss prevention and tagged records to the security list. The wire’s list is role-based access, redaction, logging, and auditable records. It does not print data-loss prevention. A screen-analysis line names a P&L, a profit-and-loss statement. The wire says financial reports. A training line says lessons with narration, visuals, quizzes, and branding when enabled. The wire says support staff training. It does not print quizzes. A collaborate line says roleplay scenarios. The wire says difficult employee conversations. It does not print roleplay. The footer prints (800) 683-3797, 2875 Route 35, Katonah, NY 10536, and 6501 Congress Ave, Boca Raton, FL 33499. The wire’s contact is Gary Piper at +1 630-634-2973.

Plain English for the rest of the card. AURA Ai is a chat tool for a doctor, a dentist, or an office administrator. The pitch is that it answers from the practice’s own approved papers, not from a public chatbot a staffer opened on the side. The Knowledge Vault is the cabinet: handbooks, policies, step-by-step procedures, incident plans, contracts, vendor agreements, contact lists, and a clinician’s own protocols. A person can ask it to explain two documents, draft a checklist, write a note to staff, or turn a policy into training. They can talk instead of typing. They can let it look at what is already on the screen. They can point a camera at a device, a room, or a workflow. The security words on the wire are who can see what, hidden sensitive text, a log, and a record someone can audit later. The company says features and those controls can change with the setup. It does not print a price. 15:15 GMT is 3:15 p.m. UTC and 11:15 a.m. Eastern. 16:03:52 UTC is the page’s modified clock, forty-eight minutes and fifty-two seconds later. Gary Salman is chief executive and co-founder. Paul Blocchi is director of AI. Gary Piper is the press contact. EAGLEi is the company’s separate security-ratings product. The card is the chat screen. This filing is the 24 Sep announcement.
