About Us

Who are we?

We created Fireloft in 2014 with one goal in mind: to build the world's best governance, risk and compliance software.

We're a small company, but we're growing quickly. We are a team of experts. Our founders, Mirek Pijanowski and Paul Guenette, each have close to 20 years of industry experience. We're building our software entirely in-house, in downtown Vancouver, Canada.

We launched StandardFusion, our flagship GRC software platform, in early 2016. Since then, we've been improving and expanding StandardFusion, and helping our customers achieve and maintain compliance with a growing collection of standards. We have a very aggressive roadmap, and everything we do is driven by our customers.

Fireloft does not aim to be cheap. We aim to be the best at what we do. We believe our approach remains cost effective and ultimately provides the best value - and the best experience - for all of our customers.
