"Automate your data security & privacy workflows: from security reviews to privacy impact assessments"
TL;DR: Clearly AI continuously reviews your software for security and privacy risks. They keep your compliance paperwork up to date and escalate issues that need attention so that your engineers can focus on more critical work.
Founded by Emily Choi-Greene & Joe Choi-Greene
Emily & Joe met five years ago while working on an Alexa security review.
- Emily: Senior engineer at Amazon and Moveworks, speaker at USENIX PEPR, expert in privacy-preserving machine learning, featured in the New York Times.
- Joe: Senior engineer at Amazon, designed and secured spacecraft command software that now orbits Earth, automated data compliance with global regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.
The Problem
- Burn-out: Many companies struggle to complete in-depth security reviews due to understaffed teams. The industry average is 1 security engineer per 200 software engineers. There is an overwhelming volume of software and policies to monitor and cross-check.
- Fragmentation: Today, a typical enterprise security review takes 3-4 months to complete. Most of that time is spent gathering information and filling out paperwork. Trust teams operate in silos, leading to redundant questions or delayed risk identification.
The Solution
- Triage: Review all designs and code for security best practices and regulatory compliance.
- Raise the Ceiling: Prioritize which applications need deeper review by security & privacy engineers.
- Raise the Floor: For the rest, perform baseline security & privacy reviews to ensure compliance.
- Shift Left: Bring the collective knowledge of legal, privacy, compliance, and security teams directly to developers from the inception of their work.
- Continuous Monitoring: Real-time, automated checks instead of point-in-time reviews.
The Ask
Reach out to them if:
- Your security/privacy teams are understaffed and overwhelmed.
- Security/privacy is critical to your customers (beyond SOC2 certification).
- You operate across regions with varying privacy regulations, and you need to evaluate and comply.
