Our co-founders Jamie Blackport “JB” and Jamie Gray “JG” have collaborated together for over ten years to build  solutions and positive change in healthcare data, compliance, and the data privacy markets. 

JB and JG are probably best known for founding Mirador Analytics (part of Datavant since 2021), which transformed the industry approach to HIPAA Expert Determination. 

Before Firinn’s conception,  JG and JB reflected on what clients valued and loved most about their past endeavours.
The common thread in clients’ and stakeholders’ value went far beyond the core offerings, “The Jamie’s” helped unlock data, unlock use cases, and unlock growth. 

The key to unlocking it all?

“Trust”

JB and JG realised that their reputation for knowledge, honesty, and integrity was used by customers and partners as a trusted third-party catalyst to exchanging and using data.

Early advisory and design input instilled confidence, third-party assessment gave greater validation, and ongoing monitoring provided a safety net and assurance in protecting data. 

This provided the foundations for Firinn, a catalyst for trust that instilled confidence, provided validation, and delivered assurances in data use and exchange. These core principles become ever more critical with AI and data use advancements, as both areas are under increasing scrutiny from regulations, enforcements, and the public eye.   

Grounded in our core principles, we set out to build our first product, Firinn’s Data Use Right’s Registry (launched late 2025).

Managing Data Use Rights helps the ecosystem scale trust, and our experience, industry knowledge in healthcare data, and privacy enhancing technologies gives us the ability to lead the way in scaling trust.

Where does the story go from here? 

We expect change in how people perceive data duty of care, the expectations they hold of their own firms, and of partners. And we’ll be here to guide the way, and provide the framework to manage data use rights, building and integrating infrastructure for trust, and advising, assessing, and monitoring data privacy.

Stay tuned. Or better yet, get involved.
