FCA and MiFID II compliant Signal recording
With the continually growing adoption of Signal, compliance departments of regulated financial firms worldwide are now faced with another communications channel which must be recorded and securely archived to ensure regulatory compliance. With Signal Archiver, you can record all employee business communications taking place over Signal while keeping any personal communications private. As well as using end-to-end encryption, similar to other IM apps like WhatsApp, Signal Messenger also incorporates additional privacy features and collects a minimal amount of personal data. These privacy features were instrumental in Signal winning millions of new users when Facebook announced a change in WhatsApp’s privacy policy at the start of 2021.
The Kerv Difference
Stress-Free, User-Friendly Signal Compliance Recording
Record Signal calls and messages
Very few Signal compliance recording products exist in the marketplace today. Fewer still can capture both messages and voice calls made through the app. FCA and MiFID II regulations, among others, require all in-scope voice and electronic communications to be recorded – that includes Signal voice calls as well as messages. Kerv can help you capture and archive Signal chats, file attachments, multimedia, disappearing messages, voice calls and audio from video calls.
Same user interface
Uses Signal’s standard user interface and encryption, significantly reducing barriers to adoption by providing users with a familiar experience.
Equally suitable for company-issued and BYOD phones
If your organisation has a Bring Your Own Device policy, users can have two instances of the app on their device – Signal Archiver for recorded business communications and regular Signal for unrecorded personal chats.
