Carbide Risk Management

Carbide Risk Management is a platform module that connects organizational assets, vendors, and datasets to a structured risk register, enabling risk programs to remain linked to actual inventory rather than static spreadsheets. The platform provides a structured risk register where users can create risk assessments with likelihood and impact scoring, assign risk owners, document treatment decisions (accept, mitigate, transfer, or avoid), and maintain activity logs tracking changes over time. Asset management functionality allows organizations to maintain an inventory of laptops, smartphones, and other business assets, documenting ownership and connecting each asset to the broader security program. Vendor management capabilities centralize third-party vendor relationships, enable structured vendor security assessments, track review status, and link vendor risk directly to compliance requirements. A data inventory module supports documentation and categorization of datasets — including customer data, AI/ML training data, audit logs, and API logs — with structured fields for host provider, data origin, data type (e.g., PII), classification (e.g., internal), encryption methods, and transmission controls. Carbide operates on a hybrid model: the platform handles structured tracking and documentation, while a dedicated advisory team validates risk scoring methodology, identifies gaps, reviews risk register completeness before audits, advises on treatment strategies, and assists with board-level risk reporting. The product supports compliance with SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and additional frameworks.
