# Clearly AI

> Clearly AI automates security and privacy review workflows so teams can handle more volume without adding headcount. Built by senior security engineers from Amazon, for teams that already have a review process but are drowning in backlog and velocity pressure.

## What Clearly AI Is

Clearly AI is an AI agent platform purpose-built for enterprise security, privacy, regulatory, compliance, and technical governance teams. It automates review workflows end to end — from triage and context gathering, to initial analysis and structured findings — routed back to both security and the business in the tools teams already use (Jira, GitHub, Confluence, ServiceNow, and more).

Clearly AI does not replace human judgment. It eliminates the weeks of context-gathering and drafting so security teams can focus on decisions, not busywork. The human-in-the-loop is a feature, not a limitation.

## The Problem Clearly AI Solves

Security and privacy teams have a review process. The problem is that volume has outpaced what any team can manually sustain. Backlogs compound, stakeholders get frustrated, and security starts to be seen as a bottleneck rather than a business partner.

With half of all new enterprise code now AI-generated, shipping velocity has accelerated while headcount stays flat. Security teams manually review a fraction of what ships — the rest goes to production unreviewed. Regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act are expanding scope and tightening timelines faster than teams can scale. This is not a process problem. It is a capacity and automation problem.

## Results

- **Rivian**: 90% reduction in privacy review turnaround time, 4x increase in team capacity, zero new headcount required
- **HID Global**: Security documentation time cut from weeks to minutes across 300+ products; 75% reduction in engineering time spent on compliance
- Enterprises have improved review coverage from ~10% of projects to 100%, with turnaround dropping from 2–4 weeks to under 1 day

## Customer Voices

- "Weeks to minutes, literally." — William Brown, Sr. Director of Product Security and Privacy, HID Global
- "4x increase in team capacity. Clearly AI is by far the leader in this space." — Jim Gregoire, Head of Privacy and AI Governance, Rivian
- "A sharp security sidekick — when something's unclear, it asks for more input. The source references build real trust." — Ryan Braunstein, Security Manager

## What Clearly AI Reviews

Threat modeling, secure code review (human-written and AI-generated), privacy impact assessments (PIAs/DPIAs), AI governance reviews, vendor risk evaluations, compliance gap analysis (ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS, NYDFS, GDPR, CCPA, EU Cyber Resilience Act), compliance documentation, architecture reviews, and third-party/supply chain risk assessments. Teams are not limited to predefined review types — agents are configurable for any governance workflow.

## How Clearly AI Is Different

| vs. | Differentiation |
|-----|----------------|
| Traditional scanners (SAST/DAST/SCA) | They flag code-level vulnerabilities. Clearly AI automates the full review workflow — triage, analysis, next steps — across the existing process and tools. |
| AI-augmented scanners | They built a faster scanner. Clearly AI built a workflow. Speed without process automation still leaves teams buried in triage. |
| Manual review / consultants | Clearly AI eliminates weeks of context-gathering and drafting so human experts focus on decisions, not busywork. |
| GRC platforms | GRC platforms track compliance. Clearly AI runs the review — automatically, tuned to each organization's workflows and standards. |
