Mon, 17 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Over the last six months, we’ve been working with 7ASecurity through support from the Open Technology Fund’s Security Safety Audits, to complete an audit of our Círculo project. The public report on that is now available. You can also read the blog post on the audit from 7ASecurity.

If you don’t know about Circulo, this is a physical check-in safety app we have developed, alongside Article 19’s Mexico City team, for a number of years, focused on providing secure location sharing and urgent notifications within small trusted groups, for people under threat of physical violence. The free and open-source code we have developed includes iOS and Android mobile apps, as well as server infrastructure, largely based on the Matrix Protocol, including the mobile software development kits (SDKs), MegaOLM encryption, and Synapse Server. You can read about the last round of work we completed on Circulo, including design, development, and community building, in a public report released in November.
