About

Kobalt.io is a Vancouver-headquartered cybersecurity company built on a straightforward conviction: everyone deserves great cybersecurity, not just the Fortune 500. We serve more than 1,600 clients across North America, APAC, and EMEA. Most are cloud-native small and mid-sized companies that need to meet enterprise and regulatory security expectations without enterprise budgets or a large internal security team.

We're a managed service, not a software product. Our security professionals build, operate, and continuously improve security, privacy, and compliance programs as an extension of your team. Software alone won't get you compliant or keep you secure. You need the right processes and the people to run them, and that's what we bring.

What we do:

Compliance programs. We take companies from zero to audit-ready and keep them there, across SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and other leading frameworks. Most of our clients start because an enterprise deal depends on certification evidence. We run the program so your team can focus on the product, and we work with your GRC platform of choice, whether that's Vanta, Drata, Scrut, or another tool.

Managed security. Around-the-clock threat detection and response built for cloud-native environments, virtual CISO services, penetration testing, security awareness training, and ongoing security program operation. You get senior security leadership and day-to-day coverage at a fraction of the cost of building it in-house.

Defense and government supply chain readiness. As a CMMC Registered Provider Organization, we prepare contractors and their suppliers for CMMC, CPCSC, and FedRAMP / GovRAMP requirements on both sides of the Canada-US border, then connect them with accredited assessors when it's time for the official assessment.

AI security and governance. We help companies adopt AI with confidence, building the security and governance foundations (including ISO 42001) that let them move quickly without creating new risk.

Why clients stay: security requirements don't end at the certificate. Frameworks evolve, auditors return every year, and enterprise buyers keep sending questionnaires. Kobalt.io runs the ongoing program, keeps evidence current, and turns security from a deal blocker into a sales accelerator.

We also work through a close-knit partner ecosystem of independent auditors, accredited assessors, application security specialists, and GRC platforms, so clients get one clear path from readiness through audit to ongoing security, with each firm playing the role it's best at.
