Security Compass, a Toronto-based leader in security by design, has appointed Joe Deklic as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) to spearhead global revenue growth. Announced on June 26, 2025, Deklic’s role will focus on scaling enterprise and channel sales, pre-sales, sales development, and sales enablement, driving the company’s mission to embed security into the software development lifecycle.
Joe Deklic appointed CRO of Security Compass, effective June 26, 2025.
Deklic brings 20+ years of cybersecurity sales leadership from Cisco, Forcepoint, Check Point, and Okta.
Will oversee global sales to expand Security Compass’s market presence.
Security Compass’s SD Elements platform reduces security vulnerabilities by 60%.
Serves 300+ clients, including Fortune 500 firms, across finance and healthcare.
Aligns with $2.3B application security market, growing 15% annually (Gartner).
Joe Deklic joins Security Compass with over two decades of experience scaling cybersecurity and technology organizations. At Cisco Canada, he drove significant market share growth, while at Forcepoint, he led global sales teams to exceed targets. His tenure at Check Point Software earned industry recognition, and at Okta, Deklic accelerated enterprise adoption, growing revenue by 25% year-over-year in key regions. “Joe’s proven track record in accelerating revenue and building high-performing sales teams will be key,” said Rohit Sethi, CEO of Security Compass.
Security Compass’s SD Elements platform automates secure software development, integrating security requirements early to reduce vulnerabilities by up to 60%, per company data. Deklic’s leadership will expand adoption of solutions like SD Elements and Just-In-Time Training, which serve 300+ clients, including major banks and healthcare providers. “Security Compass’s innovative approach to security by design truly sets it apart,” Deklic said. “I look forward to helping organizations worldwide build secure software at scale.”
The appointment aligns with the $2.3B application security market’s 15% annual growth, driven by rising cyber threats (1.7M attacks daily, per 2024 reports). Security Compass competes with firms like Synopsys and Checkmarx, leveraging AI-driven automation to differentiate. Posts on X praise Deklic’s Okta success but note challenges in scaling channel sales for smaller markets. With $10M in funding and a 20% revenue increase in 2024, Security Compass is poised for global expansion under Deklic’s leadership.
Deklic’s appointment strengthens Security Compass’s position to deliver scalable, secure software solutions, meeting the growing demand for integrated cybersecurity in development.
Security Compass helps organizations build secure, compliant software by design. Its SD Elements platform enables teams to identify threats and generate actionable security requirements before code is written, seamlessly integrating with DevSecOps workflows. The company’s Application Security Training products deliver a hands-on curriculum that builds real-world secure coding skills. With the recent acquisition of Devici, a threat modeling platform, Security Compass expands its leadership in proactive application security.
