Co3 Systems

Founded in early 2010, Co3 Systems is led by a team of privacy experts, security professionals, and proven software entrepreneurs. We are proud to have built products currently used by thousands of organizations in some of the most demanding environments in the world. The inspiration for Co3 came from years of experience at a leading financial services provider. The proliferation of data loss events and mounting regulatory requirements were rendering a manual and cumbersome response process – including spreadsheets shared via e-mail – ineffective. As a result, data loss events were consuming a huge amount of time across multiple parts of the organization, driving enormous expense in professional fees, and placing the company at risk for substantial fines and uncontained brand damage. Our solution is the result of close collaboration with security, compliance, and privacy professionals — including a panel of CISOs, CIOs, CPOs, and CFOs — from multiple industries. Co3 Systems is a private company headquartered in Cambridge, MA.
