Introducing MirrorWeb Trusted Contacts: A Privacy-First Breakthrough in Mobile Communications Archiving
Today we’re very excited to introduce MirrorWeb Trusted Contacts, the mobile communications archiving app that effectively supports both BYOD and corporate devices. Regulated organizations, such as financial services firms, can now meet recordkeeping requirements without compromising employee privacy or productivity.
Why Mobile Archiving Has Been Broken – Until Now
Financial services firms must capture and archive mobile communications for the SEC, FINRA, and other regulators. However, all existing solutions come with inherent challenges. A traditional approach is for employees to use separate handsets for business and personal communications, which is impractical and expensive, and still comes with compliance risks.
For companies that operate a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy, full device capture means everything is archived, including personal messages, which raises privacy concerns. Alternatively, business-only apps require separate phone numbers and applications, which is inefficient and frustrating for employees and customers.
MirrorWeb Trusted Contacts solves this. It’s the only archiving app that lets employees ensure only business communications are captured from their devices, whether BYOD or corporate. As well as the obvious privacy benefits, users can stay compliant without changing how they work or how their customers prefer to work.
How It Works
Trusted Contacts is a standalone application that integrates with MirrorWeb’s existing iMessage, WhatsApp, and Android SMS archiving capability, allowing customers to make any mobile device compliant. Users connect their mobile channels, and MirrorWeb Trusted Contacts automatically excludes personal messages from retention. Users can utilize an employee-owned or corporate device, don’t have to download a separate messaging application, and can keep the same cell number they’ve had for years. This simplified setup will allow businesses to take control of their mobile communications monitoring challenges.
Put simply, it’s communications compliance done right. No separate messaging apps, second numbers, or employee workarounds.
