Least Authority is committed to building and supporting the development of usable technology solutions and ethical business practices to advance digital security and preserve privacy as a fundamental human right.

We focus our work in three main areas: Security Consulting, Product Development, and Community-Contribution Projects. We pursue these areas knowing they are complementary and offer various ways for us to contribute to our mission: we enable more people to use secure and privacy-respecting technology.

We uphold our mission by:

-Conducting security audits and providing consulting services for software development projects, especially within Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) communities. 
-Building products with a specific focus on increasing the security of the data and systems, along with enhancing and preserving privacy.
-Developing and contributing to FOSS projects.
-Collaborating with human rights organizations and non-profit foundations to provide secure tools and privacy enhancing technologies for human rights defenders.
-Supporting additional projects, programs, and ventures that focus on increasing awareness of the importance of digital security and privacy in technology.

Our History:

Least Authority was formed in the U.S. in 2011 to create freedom-compatible technologies. In 2016, the company relocated to Berlin with Liz Steininger as CEO / Managing Director. We are a small team who believe that privacy matters in Internet technology.
