Born at the speed of innovation
In 2014, our founding team was at Snap, tasked with a monumental challenge: building world-class privacy, security, and trust & safety from the ground up. We saw firsthand that the traditional way of doing things—manual spreadsheets and static, "check-the-box" compliance—was a handbrake on innovation.
We realized that for trust to scale, it had to be shifted left. We didn't just need better tools; we needed a new philosophy that allowed security and privacy to live where the work happens. We built TerraTrue to bridge that gap.
Our mission
To equip teams to build privacy and security into everything they do through a collaborative, intuitive, and scalable platform.
The DNA of TerraTrue
We are a team of builders obsessed with the fierce urgency of doing something meaningful. Our culture is defined by three pillars:
Curiosity
We are humble and understand that no one has all the answers. We have the courage to challenge assumptions and suggest better ways of doing things, translating that curiosity into action.
Empathy
We believe empathy is the lifeblood of a thriving team. By embracing a kaleidoscope of perspectives, we enrich our relationships, our work, and the products we build.
Passion for Excellence
We’re bored with the status quo. We are fearlessly bold and unafraid to fail as we innovate, always pushing forward to surpass the expectations of our customers.
