Android — generally available
Distributable through your mobile device management platform or directly from us.
Self-hosted server. Verified-only users. Built-in AI agent. Native Android and iOS clients. All connected only to your private infrastructure.
Run the server inside your own datacentre, private cloud or air-gapped intranet. We do not host, mirror, telemeter or back up your data — anywhere. Ever.
There is no public sign-up flow. Every user is provisioned by an administrator from your organisation, against an authoritative identity source.
An integrated AI assistant indexes the messages and documents your users can already see — and answers natural-language questions about them.
Day-to-day usability matters as much as architecture. The mobile clients are designed to feel as familiar as the consumer messengers your team is already using.
Distributable through your mobile device management platform or directly from us.
General availability planned for 2026. Early access available for design partners.
Mobile clients carry no per-device cost. Ever. The licence covers users on the server, not endpoints.
Cloud-first messengers optimise for ease of onboarding at the cost of control; consumer messengers optimise for reach at the cost of governance. SP Secure Messenger is built specifically for organisations that cannot accept either trade-off.
