Secure communications solutions are essential for organisations operating in sensitive industries



Data security must be a top priority for businesses and organisations, particularly those operating in sensitive industries such as healthcare, finance and defence. Whether in the form of text messages, file sharing, audio conversations or video conferences, data exchanges require rigorous protection, to ensure compliance with regulations and the confidentiality of strategic information.

Therefore, implementing a robust communication solution such as Citadel Team is essential to guarantee the security of all communications, both internal and external. With end-to-end encryption, this platform enables professionals to exchange information confidently, knowing that their messages and files cannot be intercepted.
This type of solution also ensures data sovereignty, which is a critical consideration for numerous businesses and organisations.

By choosing Ercom, their data will be hosted and processed in France by Thales experts, ensuring that their information remains under their control, thus reinforcing trust between all stakeholders: employees, partners, customers, suppliers, etc.
