Founded in 2001, Louisville, Colorado-based Coalfire Systems has evolved past its IT audit and compliance consulting roots to introduce a new services-led IT governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) platform for the PCI Data Security Standard, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, HIPAA/HITECH, NERC CIP, Sarbanes-Oxley and FISMA-regulated industries. Called Coalfire Navis, the Web-based portal aims to provide all of the testing, documentation, reporting and technical support that organizations need to effectively maintain their compliance initiatives.
Freemont, California-based GRC and identity management vendor AlertEnterprise has announced a $19m series B round of funding led by Menlo Park-based Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers that included existing investors Opus Capital and Fremont-based startup Farms Investors.
In an effort to entice cash-strapped organizations looking to deploy a GRC product, the vendor offers a nontraditional ‘pay for what you want’ product with modular applications atop its extensible platform.
