Clariti, the fastest-growing government permitting and licensing software company in North America, is thrilled to announce the industry-changing acquisition of Camino Technologies, the top emerging technology vendor in the regulatory space.
Clariti, a Vancouver-based technology company, has also closed funding to accelerate investments into the product, customer success, customer support and professional services departments for both teams. By the end of 2023, Clariti’s employee base will grow by approximately 50% year-over-year.
The acquisition of Camino solidifies Clariti's position as providing the best products for all-size governments in need of modern permitting and licensing solutions. Both companies will continue delivering intuitive, configurable software to their target markets.
“Camino has developed the best next-generation product for small and medium-sized governments that will perfectly complement Clariti’s leading enterprise permitting and licensing platform,” says Clariti Co-CEO Cyrus Symoom. “Our commitment to both products will enable us to serve governments of all sizes for decades to come.”
The entire team at Camino, including founders Nate Levine and Mike Rosengarten, are joining Clariti, bringing years of experience developing software used by over 1000 government agencies.
“This is more than just business as usual for Camino,” says Camino CEO Mike Rosengarten, "We have seen Clariti's commitment to product innovation that will now include Camino. They share in our vision of delivering exceptional customer experiences, which is why we're so excited to join forces with increased funding and support."
Clariti and Camino's software is used to deliver permitting and licensing services to over 150,000,000 people across North America. Clariti customers will be able to purchase an integration by the end of the year to Camino’s permit guide, providing an industry-leading applicant experience. There will be no service disruptions or forced upgrades as a result of the acquisition.
“We will enhance the experience for customers of both companies,” says Co-CEO Jake Dancyger, “All customers will continue to receive exceptional support and enjoy product enhancements, driven by the same teams they relied on prior to the acquisition.”
About Clariti
Clariti’s government software helps North America’s largest and fastest-growing communities deliver exceptional community development, permitting, and licensing experiences online.
Founded in 2008, Clariti is built as an alternative to code-heavy, non-configurable systems that create technology barriers for governments to meet their community’s evolving needs.
Governments should be able to dictate how their software works. To us, that means providing our customers with a system that’s maintained with clicks, not code, to relieve pressure on technical resources and better support citizens and staff.
About Camino
Camino’s mission is to transform the permitting process into an experience that is user-friendly, efficient, and transparent.
Founded in 2017, Camino has deployed software to over 100 government agencies across the country, from online interfaces for citizens to robust, automated workflow systems for staff.
Our team has decades of experience working at the interface of government and technology, and we’re unified by the belief that all communities deserve an easy way to build housing, open businesses and improve critical infrastructure.

Veracode, a leading provider of intelligent software security solutions, today announced its attainment of State Risk and Authorization Management Program (StateRAMP).
StateRAMP offers state and local government agencies a standardized approach toward compliance to help them improve their overall security posture. Veracode obtained FedRAMP authorization in July 2022, and this week’s authorization by StateRAMP reaffirms the company’s commitment to deliver cloud-based application security software to agencies at all levels of government—federal, state, and local.
“High-profile attacks and vulnerabilities are significantly impacting the software supply chain across industries, and state and local government is no different,” said Claire Bailey, Regional Vice President of Governmental Affairs at Veracode. “Agencies need capabilities that allow them to protect the application layer. This authorization enables Veracode to support evolving state and local government security requirements. We look forward to assisting the StateRAMP mission of improving the cyber posture of public institutions and the citizens they serve.”
Veracode’s intelligent software security platform provides comprehensive application-layer protection to reduce risk in today’s dynamic threat environment. The platform supports a range of current and emerging cybersecurity requirements and best practices, including:
Securing the software supply chain through capabilities such as the generation of a Software Bills of Materials (SBOM), which provides visibility into the open-source code components that are contained in a software product Integrating security into software development from the beginning of the process (‘shifting left’) Providing a developer-friendly user experience to integrate security into the software development life cycle Supporting cloud-native development and managing risk across the application portfolio Uniting security and development teams to address cybersecurity challenges
The StateRAMP authorization enables Veracode to support state and local agencies’ cybersecurity initiatives at a time of increased risk. A shortage of skilled IT security professionals has depleted the security teams of many state agencies, and Chief Information Security Officers report risks arising from persistent malware, ransomware, and phishing attempts, according to a recent National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) survey.
Veracode’s recent State of Software Security 2023 report revealed that, over the last 12 months, more than 74 percent of applications contained at least one security flaw. Due to variation in the types of flaws that compromise application security, security teams should use a variety of scan types to discover elusive flaws.
Bailey added, “Security teams should have confidence in the options available to secure their cyber infrastructure and make their digital landscape a safer place overall. StateRAMP makes this goal much more attainable for state and local agencies. Veracode’s platform provides a single view of an organization’s security posture and compliance via powerful reporting and analytics, restoring confidence in the digital infrastructure of agencies.”
State and local agencies can access Veracode’s comprehensive software security platform—including static analysis, software composition analysis (SCA), dynamic analysis, pipeline scanning, eLearning, container scanning, API scanning, and infrastructure as code (IaC) scanning—on the StateRAMP Marketplace.
About Veracode
Veracode is intelligent software security. The Veracode Software Security Platform continuously finds flaws and vulnerabilities at every stage of the modern software development lifecycle. Trusted by security teams, developers, and business leaders from thousands of the world’s leading organizations, Veracode is the pioneer, continuing to redefine what intelligent software security means.
