Privacy-First Urban Surveillance Audit Platform for Cities
P5/10June 2, 2026
WhatA SaaS platform that helps municipalities inventory, map, and conduct compliance audits of all public surveillance infrastructure against local privacy ordinances.
SignalCities are deploying surveillance tech faster than they can track or govern it, and the patchwork of devices from different vendors and eras creates a compliance nightmare that no one is systematically solving.
Why NowOver 30 US cities have passed surveillance oversight ordinances since 2020, creating a legal mandate for inventory and impact assessments that most cities lack the tooling to fulfill.
MarketMunicipal governments and their compliance officers; ~20,000 US municipalities, expanding globally as GDPR-style rules hit public sector surveillance. Limited direct competition — mostly manual consulting engagements.
