The latest news, updates, and stories about Secureframe.

Secureframe announced today that it is expanding its team with key leadership hires. Drew Daniels has joined the company as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Cory Thomas as VP of Engineering. Their combined experience will help the company accelerate its strategic plans to serve new markets and companies around the world.

"Our primary focus is to provide our customers with the best experience possible—and hiring top talent is a key part of this formula," said Shrav Mehta, CEO, Secureframe. "Drew’s proven track-record leading security teams, and Cory’s experience building products at a number of high-growth startups, are precisely what we need during this momentous time in our company and market. Their contributions will undoubtedly help us execute on our vision of becoming the leading compliance automation provider." 

Drew brings more than two decades of security experience to Secureframe. Prior to joining, Drew served as CIO and CISO at Druva, where he reshaped the entire security program to a proactive culture with emphasis on automation, self-service and transparent metrics. He also grew the overall team by 3x and added predictability to compliance and governance that included FedRAMP authorization. Before that, he was CIO and CISO at Qubole. There, he defined the security program, hired and built the team. Drew also oversaw SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001 and implementation of comprehensive security across four clouds AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle. Previously, Drew held a number of security-related roles at a number of prominent companies, including Microsoft, Oracle, Netsuite and more. He is also a published author, board member, strategic advisor and angel investor.

Cory Thomas has spent close to 20 years building SaaS applications and engineering teams. Before Secureframe, he was a two-time VP Engineering. First at Xello, growing the team four-fold while shaping engineering culture and best practices. Then at Copper, rebuilding engineering for their next phase of growth. In-between he served as Director of Engineering at InVision where he led teams delivering InVision’s Cloud, Freehand, DSM and Studio products along with partner integrations. 

Today’s announcement is part of a series of significant growth milestones for Secureframe. Earlier this year, the company secured a $56 million Series B funding round led by Accomplice with participation from Kleiner Perkins, Optum Ventures, Kaiser Permanente, Gradient Ventures, Soma Capital, Gaingels, Impatient Ventures, and Flexport. In 2021, Secureframe experienced 10x ARR and 7x customer growth, reflecting global demand for the company’s best-in-class automated compliance solution.

Secureframe announced today that it is expanding its team with key leadership hires. Drew Daniels has joined the company as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Cory Thomas as VP of Engineering.

Secureframe today announced it has raised a $56 million Series B funding round, bringing the company’s total amount raised to $79 million—in just under two years since its launch in 2020. Accomplice led the round with participation from Kleiner Perkins, Optum Ventures, Kaiser Permanente, Gradient Ventures, Soma Capital, Gaingels, Impatient Ventures, and Flexport. Notable angels that joined the round include Jon Oberheide (Duo Security CTO), Ash Devata (VP / GM for Zero Trust and Duo at Cisco), Leore Avidar (Alt CEO). Michael Viscuso, Partner at Accomplice, will join the company’s Board of Directors. 

"Secureframe is onto something big,” said Mike Viscuso, Partner at Accomplice and founder of Carbon Black. “They have the vision, the talent, and the technology to drive major transformation in continuous compliance certification. What’s most exciting to me is they’ve already become the go-to solution for startups and high-growth companies who want to automate their entire compliance portfolio. It’s clear why Accomplice is leading Secureframe’s Series B, and I’m thrilled to serve on the board of directors to help play a role in the company’s continued growth.”

Secureframe also announced today that Salesforce veteran Seema Kumar has joined as Chief Operating Officer and Evan Horibe as the Vice President of Sales. Kumar joins Secureframe from New Relic where she served as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). Before that, she led marketing at Salesforce and was instrumental in launching the company’s security and compliance offering. In her new role, she will oversee all sales, marketing, customer success and people operations for Secureframe. Horibe joins from Brandfolder where he was Head of Sales and will be responsible for scaling sales operations in the US and Europe. He brings over 15 years of B2B sales experience having held roles at leading companies such as MongoDB, Xactly, Experian and more. 

Today’s announcements come on the heels of unprecedented growth for Secureframe, marked 10x ARR growth in 2021. Secureframe also experienced 7x customer growth with the addition of companies such as Stream, Dooly, Lob, Instabase, Slab, and Doodle to its growing customer roster.

Secureframe Raises $56M to Accelerate Automated Security & Compliance Processes

Secureframe, the leading provider of security and compliance automation software, today announced the launch of its automated compliance certification capabilities for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Secureframe streamlines and accelerates the PCI DSS and HIPAA certifications, reducing the time to compliance from weeks rather than months. 

“Enforcing the privacy and security of customer data is not a nice-to-have—it’s a business imperative,” said Shrav Mehta, CEO of Secureframe. “For years, companies have struggled to achieve and stay on top of compliance due to complex and laborious processes. As a result, many companies either drop out of the process before completion or fall out of compliance due to oversight. The expansion of our certification portfolio is a reflection of our commitment to helping our customers meet all compliance needs under one solution.”

According to HIPAA Journal research, there were 70 reported data breaches of 500 or more medical records in July, making it the fifth consecutive month where data breaches have been reported at a rate of 2 or more per day. While advances in technologies have enabled better and quicker access to healthcare information, it’s critical to implement safeguards to protect sensitive personal and health information. Secureframe provides a step-by-process automated process, coupled by a team of compliance experts, to simplify the HIPAA compliance certification process, saving organization’s time while avoiding violation fines. 

“Healthcare organizations have become increasingly reliant on technology and the cloud to improve patient care, which has made HIPAA compliance more important than ever,” said Nicholas Paschal, CEO of Alpine IQ. “But the certification process as it exists today is incredibly labor intensive and time consuming. Not only has Secureframe enabled us to stay compliant while growing our organization; it’s helped us avoid penalties by monitoring ongoing risk.”

According to IBM and Ponemon Institute “The annual Cost of a Data Breach Report”, data breach costs rose from USD 3.86 million to USD 4.24 million in 2021, the highest average total cost in 17 years. With the rise in data breaches comes the rise in changes and rules to the PCI DSS. Becoming PCI compliant is critical to maintaining proper account security for any businesses that processes, stores, or transmits credit card data. Secureframe automates the entire lifecycle of the certification process, saving organizations hundreds of hours while upholding best-in-class PCI DSS standards. 

"PCI DSS reporting and documentation requirements play a big role in the costs to satisfy and maintain a larger PCI DSS Level 1 program," said Colin Luce, CEO of Basis Theory. "Secureframe significantly simplifies the complex, confusing, and work-intensive administrative tasks associated with maintaining and updating our internal PCI policies."

Secureframe is the platform for automated compliance. Secureframe enables organizations to obtain and maintain global compliance standards through product integrations with core services such as AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Github, JAMF, and Okta. Secureframe continuously collects audit evidence, runs security awareness training, manages security questionnaires, and monitors infrastructure—all automatically.
