Privacy-First Surveillance Audit Platform for Municipalities

P6/10May 1, 2026
WhatA SaaS platform that continuously audits who accesses municipal surveillance feeds, flags policy violations in real time, and generates compliance reports for elected officials and the public.
SignalCities are deploying networked camera systems with almost no access controls or oversight, and vendors are accessing sensitive feeds — including those in spaces used by children — without proper authorization or scoping.
Why NowThe Flock Safety backlash is creating immediate political pressure on municipalities to demonstrate surveillance accountability, and new state-level privacy laws are giving this regulatory teeth.
MarketSold to the ~20,000 US municipal governments and school districts that operate surveillance systems; $2B+ public safety compliance TAM; competes with ad hoc manual audits and nonexistent oversight processes.
MoatFirst mover in a compliance category that becomes mandatory once adopted — switching costs are high because audit trail history and policy configurations accumulate over time.
