What is Wickr Enterprise?

Wickr Enterprise is a self-hosted end-to-end encrypted service that helps organizations and government agencies to communicate securely through one-to-one and group messaging, voice and video calling, file sharing, screen sharing, and more. Wickr Enterprise can help customers overcome data retention obligations associated with consumer-grade messaging apps, and safely facilitate collaboration. Advanced security and administrative controls help organizations meet legal and regulatory requirements, and build custom solutions for data security challenges.

Information can be logged to a private, customer-controlled data store for retention and auditing purposes. Users have comprehensive administrative control over data, which includes setting permissions, configuring ephemeral messaging options, and defining security groups. Wickr Enterprise integrates with additional services such as Active Directory (AD), single sign-on (SSO) with OpenID Connect (OIDC), and more. To get started, see Getting started with Wickr Enterprise.

Features of Wickr Enterprise

Enhanced security and privacy

Wickr Enterprise uses 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) end-to-end encryption for every feature. Communications are encrypted locally on user devices, and remain undecipherable in transit to anyone other than sender and receiver. Every message, call, and file is encrypted with a new random key, and no one but intended recipients (not even AWS) can decrypt them. Whether they are sharing sensitive and regulated data, discussing legal or HR matters, or even conducting tactical military operations, customers use Wickr Enterprise to communicate when security and privacy are paramount.

Data retention

Flexible administrative features are designed not only to safeguard sensitive information, but to retain data as required for compliance obligations, legal hold, and auditing purposes. Messages and files can be archived in a secure, customer-controlled data store.

Flexible access

Users have multi-device (mobile, desktop) access and the ability to function in low-bandwidth environments, including disconnected and out-of-band communications.

Administrative controls

Users have comprehensive administrative control over data, which includes setting permissions, configuring responsible ephemeral messaging options, and defining security groups.

Powerful integrations and bots

Wickr Enterprise integrates with additional services such as Active Directory, single sign-on (SSO) with OpenID Connect (OIDC), and more.
