Carbide blends an automated platform with our security experts to help you quickly achieve your compliance goals.

At Carbide, we envision a future where security and privacy are embedded into the DNA of every company.

Too often, security and privacy best practices can seem confusing or opaque – difficult for the average human to make sense of. Government regulations and security frameworks reinforce that confusion (Exhibit A: privacy policies on smartphone applications). We believe there’s a better way.

With the guidance of our platform, our customers create, promote, and prove a commitment to security that serves as a competitive advantage over “check-the-box”-style compliance.

In the early 20th century, carbide lamps were used by miners to see in the darkness, illuminating the path ahead of them and helping them avoid danger.

Today, we’re doing the same thing for our customers.

We founded Carbide on the belief that making security and privacy foundational to your business can accelerate your company’s growth trajectory.

With our platform, you can achieve enterprise-class security — no matter how big (or small) you are.

Million-dollar deals can vanish pretty fast. That’s the lesson our co-founders Darren Gallop and Laird Wilton learned at their last company.

While security had always been a factor in how they ran the business and built their product, they were in no way prepared for the scrutiny they received in the due diligence phase of their first million-dollar deal.

That experience – and the subsequent work they put in to build a best-in-class security program – prompted them to imagine a new company dedicated to making enterprise-class security and privacy accessible to any company, no matter their size or resources.

Following the successful acquisition of their new secure venture, they turned that concept into a reality, and Carbide was born.

Carbide is built by people that have experienced the challenges of implementing information security best practices and understand what it takes to meet the ever-increasing demands of customer and regulatory-driven security requirements.

But we’re also technology veterans, led by a CEO with numerous successful ventures under his belt. So we also understand how difficult it can be to prioritize security. Our goal is to make security and privacy easier to implement without compromises.

Our investors know what it takes to make a company successful. It’s one of the reasons they’ve embraced our vision.

With the support of these investors from both Canada and the United States, we’re building a security and privacy management platform that will make enterprise-class security accessible to organizations of all sizes.

Compliance checklists might get you through one audit, but without deliberate design to sustain best practices, you’ll end up with security debt that multiplies with each new regulation and vendor review.

Our leading platform uniquely combines software automation with expert in-house services to help you get secure and maintain compliance for the long term. 

Build and maintain trust with your customers with our security-first approach. Carbide breaks down enterprise-grade security and privacy requirements into simple tasks that can be completed by non-technical experts. After all, not everyone is a CISO.

Whether you have FTEs dedicated to security and privacy or none at all, Carbide keeps your program on track so you can quickly expand to new markets and new opportunities.
