Carbide

Carbide, formerly known as Securicy, provides a security and privacy program management platform built to help fast-growing companies achieve and maintain compliance across multiple frameworks — SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, CCPA, PIPEDA, FedRAMP, CCCS, and CMMC — without treating each one as a separate, siloed project. The platform is organized around four phases: Implement (step-by-step build-out plans and training), Design & Review (a policy builder and risk management module), Validate (automated evidence collection and audit management), and Evolve (a continuous-monitoring security dashboard).

Founded in 2016 in Nova Scotia, Canada, and rebranded from Securicy to Carbide in 2020, the company has raised roughly $5.1 million in funding from investors including Techstars, Innovacorp, Build Ventures, Allos Ventures, and Hub Angels. As of 2024 reporting, Carbide had grown to $3.2 million in annual revenue across about 190 customers.

Carbide markets itself against “checkbox” compliance tools by mapping controls once across overlapping frameworks, and its support for the Canadian CCCS framework alongside common US frameworks is a specific differentiator for companies selling into both markets. It remains a comparatively small player, however, in a compliance-automation category now dominated by far larger, better-funded competitors such as Vanta and Drata.
