04 About Envoc

Twenty-two years of shipping, from Louisiana.

Envoc was founded in Baton Rouge to ship software that regulated institutions can bet on. Not consultancy decks. Not prototypes that rot in a drawer. Shipped systems with named owners and runbooks.

“A better reality for our team and our clients, through radical creativity and radical productivity.”
— Envoc mission

Envoc was founded in Baton Rouge to ship software that regulated institutions can bet on. Not consultancy decks. Not prototypes that rot in a drawer. Shipped systems with named owners and runbooks.

At Envoc, we created an environment that empowers us to build a better reality for both our team and our clients. We have a challenging environment that is not for the faint of heart. Envoc seeks to leverage every skill and talent you have to the fullest, and maybe even ones you did not know you had.

We value productivity, having fun, learning new things, and growing professionally. We believe in taking chaos and bringing order out of it for human flourishing — whether business or personal.

Calvin Fabre, our Founder and Visionary, serves on Working Group 10 of the ISO committee developing ISO 18013-5 and ISO 18013-7. He speaks frequently on digital identity and has been instrumental in state and federal legislation governing mDL issuance and acceptance.

What we are building now is harder: verification that answers the question without keeping the data. Our biometric work targets privacy-preserving age assurance and fraud prevention for regulated industries — and expanding where mDLs are accepted internationally.

No Phone Home
Privacy advocacy — No Phone Home

Identity systems should not phone home.

Calvin Fabre, Envoc’s Founder & CEO, is a signer of the No Phone Home initiative — a public statement signed by privacy researchers, standards authors, and organizations including the ACLU, EFF, Brave, and the Decentralized Identity Foundation. The position: identity systems must be built without the technological ability for issuers or third parties to track when or where a credential is used. If the capability exists, it eventually gets used. We share that conviction, and we build to it.

Five things we actually mean.

These are not poster copy. They are how we hire, how we review, and how we decide what to ship.
