## Open Integrity is [booting up](blog/booting-up).

We provide **reliable and evidence based** answers to questions such as:
- Which tools can be downloaded securely and verified to be authentic?
- Which tools provide end-to-end encryption by default?
- Which terms of service protect your private data?

You can read more [about the project](about).

## Our Approach

**Open Integrity** focuses on **gathering measurement and claims** about the adoption of best practices that support the security and privacy of software. We're **developing partnerships** in order to **define metrics and collect data** that will be available for an audience of professionals (software engineers, trainers, advocacy organizations) and will help provide answers about best practices adoption.
