Our Mission
We're on a mission to democratize security compliance, enabling your team to achieve audit-ready status quickly and affordably—without expensive GRC firms or a dedicated compliance team.
We believe every growing business deserves enterprise-grade security without the enterprise price tag, so you can focus on what matters: scaling your business and serving your customers.
Our Origin
We spent years watching innovative, high-growth startups get stuck in the Compliance Catch-22. They needed SOC 2 or ISO 27001 to land enterprise deals, but were forced to choose between error-prone spreadsheets or six-figure consulting fees.
We realized compliance wasn't a technology problem—it was an access problem. The tools existed for Fortune 500s. The expertise existed in Big 4 firms. But SMBs and startups were left behind, forced to DIY their way through frameworks they didn't fully understand or pay more than they could afford.
So we built ClearPath: a modern, AI-powered compliance workbench designed by founders, for founders. We're bridging the $5B gap between enterprise platforms and spreadsheets, making world-class compliance accessible to the companies that need it most.
Who We Are
ClearPath was co-founded by three technologists who've lived the compliance struggle from every angle:
Ethan Morse in
CEO
Brings deep expertise in cybersecurity policy and governance, currently working in financial compliance where he's seen firsthand how the right frameworks protect both businesses and their customers. He understands that compliance done right isn't overhead—it's infrastructure for trust.
Parker Dolton in
COO
Spent years in cybersecurity sales and product growth, watching prospects get stuck in compliance limbo. He knows what it takes to bring security products to market and has seen too many great companies lose deals because compliance was out of reach. He's obsessed with removing that barrier.
Jose Rodriguez in
CTO
A software engineer who's built systems at scale and knows that compliance automation only works if it's built on solid technical foundations. He's architecting ClearPath to be the tool he wishes he'd had when navigating frameworks at previous companies.
Together, we combine policy expertise, go-to-market experience, and engineering excellence to build compliance software that actually works for real businesses.
Our Values
We believe security compliance isn't just a checkbox to unlock growth—it's a fundamental responsibility. When customers trust you with their data, you have a duty to protect it. Compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 aren't bureaucratic hurdles; they're proven practices that make you a better steward of the information you've been entrusted with.
We stand for:
Good security isn't a luxury—it's a baseline. ClearPath exists to make that baseline achievable for everyone.
