Secure Communications, Content Management & Collaboration

Secure communications and content-management systems help teams communicate, store, share and manage sensitive information, operational content, media, evidence or collaborative workflows securely and efficiently.

The problem with consumer messaging in an organization

Consumer messaging applications are encrypted, widely used and genuinely convenient, which is why they end up carrying organizational communications by default. What they do not provide is administrative control. There is no central account management, no retention policy, no reliable way to remove access when someone leaves, no audit position and no control over where data sits. For organizations that answer to a security review, a donor, a regulator or a government, that gap is the problem.

Sovereignty and hosting

Where data resides is a decision, not a detail. Organizations working with government, humanitarian or regulated information are frequently required to keep communications within a jurisdiction or within their own infrastructure. Deployment options span public cloud, private cloud, hybrid and fully on-premises, and the right one is determined by the obligation rather than by preference.

Where this applies

  • Intergovernmental organizations and UN-linked entities
  • Non-governmental and humanitarian organizations operating in sensitive environments
  • Government departments and public institutions
  • Regulated organizations in banking, finance and critical infrastructure
  • Any organization whose field teams currently coordinate over consumer messaging apps

What BCE Systems provides

BCE Systems provides Wire Secure Communication & Collaboration, an enterprise-grade secure collaboration platform offering encrypted messaging, voice, video and file sharing with administrative control beyond that of consumer applications, deployable in public cloud, private cloud, hybrid or on-premises configurations. We assess the requirement, advise on the deployment model, deploy, migrate and support.

Frequently asked

How is this different from Signal?
Both provide strong encryption. The difference is organizational control: centrally managed accounts and provisioning, retention and legal-hold policy, guest access controls for working with external parties, audit and compliance capability, and a choice over where data is hosted. Signal is built for individuals; this is built for organizations.
Can it be hosted in our own environment?
Yes. On-premises and private cloud deployments are supported, which is usually the requirement that brings organizations to it in the first place.
What happens to our existing conversations?
Migration is planned as part of deployment. In practice most organizations run a transition period rather than switching in a day.
