Building Security Awareness Through Data
Corepathwaya started in 2019 when a small team of security analysts realized something wasn't working. Companies had tons of security tools generating mountains of data, but nobody could figure out what actually mattered. We built our first dashboard on a whiteboard in Pembroke, trying to make sense of vulnerability counts and patch cycles for a local manufacturer.
That whiteboard became our foundation. We learned that security metrics aren't about fancy algorithms—they're about helping people understand risk in practical terms. Today, we work with organizations across Canada who need clear visibility into their security posture without drowning in technical noise.

How We Got Here
From a frustrated security team to a platform used by hundreds of organizations, our path has been about solving real problems we encountered ourselves.
The Whiteboard Phase
Three security analysts in Pembroke couldn't convince management that patching old servers actually mattered. We started tracking vulnerability ages, patch cycles, and incident patterns on a whiteboard. When that board helped prevent a ransomware attack by highlighting unpatched systems, we knew we had something worth building.
Building What We Needed
We coded the first version of our platform nights and weekends, focusing on making security metrics actually readable. No fancy dashboards yet—just clear numbers showing what needed attention. A few local companies started using it, mostly because they were tired of vendor tools that looked impressive but told them nothing useful.
Growing With Our Users
Word spread through security conferences and practitioner forums. Organizations wanted metrics that helped them make decisions, not just look busy. We added features based on actual requests from people doing security work—incident response tracking, compliance reporting that didn't require a law degree, risk scoring that matched how teams actually prioritized work.
Making Security Measurable
We're still based in Pembroke, though our team has grown to include analysts, developers, and security practitioners from across Ontario. The focus hasn't changed—we build tools that help security teams show what they're doing and why it matters. No magic solutions or revolutionary approaches, just practical metrics that make security work visible and defensible.
What Drives Our Work
Security metrics shouldn't require a PhD to understand. We focus on making security measurement practical, accessible, and actually useful for the people doing the work.
Clarity Over Complexity
Security tools love to show you everything. We focus on showing you what actually needs your attention. A well-designed metric answers a specific question—how exposed are we, how fast are we responding, where should we focus next.
Built By Practitioners
Our team includes people who've done incident response at 2am, explained breaches to executives, and fought with compliance frameworks. We build tools we'd want to use ourselves, which means they focus on real problems rather than theoretical best practices.
Metrics That Drive Action
A number on a dashboard is useless unless it helps someone make a decision. We design metrics that connect to specific actions—patch this system, investigate this alert, prioritize this vulnerability. If a metric doesn't lead to better security decisions, we don't include it.
Security measurement should help teams work smarter, not just generate reports that nobody reads. When metrics actually connect to decisions, security work becomes more effective and easier to defend.
