SpyLedger

An open, source-cited record of the surveillance-industry — the public corporate identity and government-designation status of the vendors who build spyware, deep-packet inspection, and mass-surveillance tooling. Every designation is rebuilt from a primary government source and linked.

A record of official government actions, not an allegation. Most entries restate a public designation by a named authority, with a primary-source link; where a tracked vendor carries no such designation, that is stated plainly rather than implied otherwise, and any product description rests on the cited public record. SpyLedger does not itself accuse any company of wrongdoing, and a designation carries only the specific legal meaning its authority gives it. To dispute or correct an entry, contact us. Built under our data standards.

The surveillance-technology industry is documented in scattered government actions — a US Commerce export-control listing here, a Treasury sanction there, an FCC equipment rule somewhere else — each with different legal force. SpyLedger gathers those public facts into one graded, sourced record for 26 marquee vendors, so the designation status of a company can be read at a glance and cited. It tracks the watchers, not the watched: it documents vendors and the governments that regulate them, never surveillance targets.

Method & caveats

SpyLedger v0 publishes only public corporate identity and government-designation status, each rebuilt from a primary public-domain feed and linked. It deliberately does not publish customer-deployment claims (which government uses which product), targeting data, or any personal information below the corporate-officer line. Designation-status claims that an entity is restricted are statements of public government record; where a vendor has no designation, that is stated plainly rather than implied otherwise. See the methodology for the authority taxonomy, the scope rules, and the corrections channel.

Designations are current as of the 2026-06-23 build; always confirm against the linked primary source before relying on a status.
