Abridge vs S10.AI CRUSH
S10.AI's footer says its SOC 2 Type II audit is in progress, with HIPAA and GDPR controls in production and a BAA on request. Abridge's Trust Center lists CCPA, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2, and TX-RAMP. A health system whose security review demands a finished SOC 2 Type II report rules S10.AI out at that gate. The S10 CRUSH scribe carries 24 specialty templates with coding suggestions, and the vendor lists 100+ EHRs connected through FHIR, HL7 and RPA bots for screen-only systems, EMIS Web and SystmOne among them. The method per EHR is not stated. Neither publishes a price: S10 offers a free 15-minute demo and Abridge works by quote. S10 lists Epic, Oracle Cerner and athenahealth as well as the UK systems, so an Epic health system can shortlist both, and the finished SOC 2 Type II report is what separates them. A UK practice on SystmOne has a named route with S10, and a health system that needs the audit done before signing has Abridge.
