Digital government and civic transparency platform with security-first architecture.
Digital government initiatives struggle with:
- Public data breaches and transparency failures erode citizen trust
- Civic engagement platforms lack security and scalability
- Government agencies can't iterate quickly on digital services
- Citizens have no easy way to access public information and contribute feedback
Civic / GovTools provides:
- Security-first architecture with data encryption, access controls, and audit logs
- Public data transparency with versioning, archiving, and change tracking
- Civic engagement tools for consultations, petitions, and community feedback
- Self-serve government APIs for citizens and NGOs to build on top
- Compliance ready (GDPR, data protection laws, accessibility standards)
Audience: Government agencies, municipal authorities, civic tech NGOs, transparency advocates
Main pain: Government data is either locked away or exposed without proper controls; citizens can't easily participate
Outcome: Civic / GovTools enables governments to safely publish data and engage citizens, rebuilding trust through transparency
- Languages: TypeScript (frontend), Node.js/Python (backend)
- Security: Zero-trust architecture, end-to-end encryption, cryptographic audit logs
- Infrastructure: Cloudflare Workers, PostgreSQL, Docker, k8s
- Compliance: GDPR, CCPA, local data protection laws
- Integrations: Government APIs (OpenData, CKAN), Slack, Email
