Sunrise and Threema: Secure, data protection-compliant communication tool from two Swiss experts

Today, instant messaging and chat apps are widely used in most companies. They simplify communications between employees, partners, and customers, improve collaboration, and speed up business processes. However, employees often use chat tools that are designed for personal communication, are questionable in terms of data protection laws, and are overlooked by their companies' IT organization.

This poses significant risks. Without a consistent separation of business and personal communication, business documents can easily fall into the wrong hands.

The secure, data protection-compliant messaging solution made in Switzerland

With Threema Work, Sunrise now offers an instant messenger for companies and organizations that appropriately prioritize data protection and security while also attaching equal importance to the app's convenience and reliability. Threema Work was developed by Threema GmbH, the Swiss communications software specialist who also operates it. The solution is based on the Threema app, which has received several awards for its security, minimal data use and user-friendliness, and is specifically tailored for business use.

'This Swiss messaging solution represents the highest degree of security and comprehensive data protection. All communications are fully end-to-end encrypted, and it goes without saying that it is compliant with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are excited to offer our customers Threema Work as part of their communications solution,' says Oliver Spring, Director Product and Marketing Sunrise.

Threema Work offers all the features you expect from an instant messaging tool for business: Sending text and voice messages, secure voice calls, sharing photos, videos, locations and files of any format, group chats, web client for desktop use, survey feature for scheduling and coordinating appointments, and Threema Broadcast for effective top-down communication with feeds, distribution lists, bots, and centrally administered groups.

With the Threema Work management cockpit, user administration is easy and effective. The convenient distribution and remote configuration of the app with or without the MDM system (Mobile Device Management) is a given.
