Privacy & Civil Liberties Engineering
Our team is dedicated to working for the common good and doing what's right, in addition to being deeply passionate about building great software and a successful company.
​
Turium was founded on the conviction that it's essential to preserve fundamental principles of privacy and civil liberties while using data.
​
Our earliest work in counter-terrorism required us to ask whether we could meaningfully strengthen national security in the US without weakening constitutional privacy protections. In response, we invested financial and intellectual capital to build technology that is now trusted by the world's most stringent — and skeptical — data protection regimes.
​
Our culture of open and critical discussion around the implications of our technology ensures that we remain true to that initial conviction, even as the nature of data and the environments where we operate evolve.
Turium is a mission-focused company.
From their first day, new Turiumians are trained to ask: "Do I want to live in the kind of world that the technology we're building would enable?"
​
To help our engineers and business leaders answer this question affirmatively, we:
​
Adhere to a set of principles that guide our technical and business decisions.
Invest in building technology that promotes responsible data usage.
Employ and empower a team of Privacy and Civil Liberties Engineers.
Engage with independent experts in privacy law, policy, and ethics.

Our approach to Privacy and Civil Liberties is guided by a set of principles.
We build software platforms that help our customers integrate and analyze their own data in ways that are consistent with legal and ethical considerations.
We are an interdisciplinary team of engineers, lawyers, and philosophers committed to protecting privacy and civil liberties.
In 2012, we created the Turium Council of Advisors on Privacy and Civil Liberties.
