A welcome from our CEO Kelsey Waters

Welcome to Openlane - read about what problem we're solving, and how we're solving it

Welcome to Openlane! 

I’m glad you’ve found us! It’s no surprise to me that you’re searching for the tools to help solve critical needs in your business; there are few more critical than demonstrating security and compliance to your customers and partners. Whether you’re an operator looking for a better solution to manage controls, a security professional looking for better tools to manage audits, or just someone interested in our open-source project, we are happy to have you. 

Building compliance programs from the ground up is a challenge every organization faces. Our team has experience doing just that across multiple large scale companies delivering infrastructure as a service. We've poured that experience into Openlane and have been hard at work refining it into an opinionated and streamlined toolset.

What problem are we solving? 

Every digital business has foundational requirements to provide security and availability. 

In all my searching, I have yet to find an open-source framework to support those requirements. Most companies are solving this problem by spending huge amounts of time supporting niche projects or buying tools that only solve part of the equation. 

Most teams simply don’t have the time, experience, or access to best practices that would remove toil from their programs and enable them to focus more deeply on their business.

How are we solving it? 

We are building tools and technologies for the people working at the core of modern businesses. We help businesses make more money, capture new markets, reduce operating costs, and improve the quality of life of those humans at the heart of the business. 

We are passionate about democratizing tooling and knowledge in the security and compliance space, and we’re targeting our initial feature sets toward compliance programs, primarily because they are so burdensome for operations and engineering teams. We also know that the same tools which are foundational in supporting compliance programs are a stepping stone to enable: 

  • improvements to availability and reliability of infrastructure and services
  • better communication between sales & support and the engineering & operations teams
  • acceleration of digital business

Where do I join in the fun?

I am always interested in engaging with amazing people who get things done! 

We would love for you to contribute to our work at https://github.com/theopenlane
