... oh, and no more security questionnaires ...
We're working to make information security a core competency of every business. We envision a world in which businesses have access to great information security, are empowered to focus on their business instead of on compliance, can scale faster and more efficiently, and are confident that they're creating quality products.
The way companies build trust around data security today is tedious, still manual (despite the emergence of new tools), and still dominated by the infamous security questionnaire. It often takes days or weeks to figure out the simple question of “Can I trust this company with my data?”
Our vision is a future where businesses build trust through security reviews instantly, with zero friction, through code and automation.
We are working towards that vision by building the world’s best end-to-end customer trust platform- a platform that streamlines the security review process, provides an integrated, exceptional customer experience and accurate, updated, instant answers to customer questions so trust can be built in seconds, not weeks.
Combining questionnaire completion, a questionnaire response tool powered by the latest AI technology, and a custom, branded self-service trust portal, Conveyor helps vendors get their customers' questions answered frictionlessly.
“The perfect is the enemy of the good.” ― Voltaire
We identify the core value of a project and ship the simple thing first. We’re willing to set a goal we’re not sure of because it inspires us to act in the spirit of learning, reflect on the results, and gather valuable data about what to try next. We fail often and early in pursuit of experimentation and risk-taking on novel ideas.We value and respect teaching as the best way to learn, and make time to share information openly. We are a team of learners with a growth mindset: We talk about improving constantly and challenge each other to grow.
“Feedback comes from a place of positive intent.” — Michael Terrell
We discuss our questions and concerns openly as a group. We practice giving effective feedback, with the intent of helping each other be more successful. When we give feedback, we make each other feel big, not small.
We work to create an environment where it feels completely safe to ask for help and take a risk — where we feel valued for our contributions and accepted for who we are. We don’t attribute mistakes or unexpected outcomes to human error: We view them as a starting point for an inquiry, not the end. We can resolve difficult issues while supporting each other.
“Is the juice worth the squeeze?” — Source Unknown
We seek to understand before we act. We question our assumptions and surface differences of opinion, in order to discover gaps in our plans and make changes accordingly.
By asking “Why?”, we cultivate focus and create leverage: We pick the right things to work on and maximize the impact of our efforts. By asking “Why?”, we make space for the creative tension between optimism and skepticism, and think strategically about what and how we build.

“I admire my colleagues’ thoughtfulness, energy, and grit. Folks here are thoughtful in their approach to things, from ‘How will what I say land on the other person?’ to ‘How will this architectural decision limit the flexibility of our product a year from now?’.
