The Management Cockpit Is Now Available in Spanish

The demand for secure corporate communication is increasing across Europe. This is in part because EU regulations such as NIS2 and DORA require companies to have a secure communication channel in place. As a result, more and more companies in the Spanish-speaking market are relying on Threema Work. To make it easier for them to manage their users, the management cockpit of Threema Work and Threema Broadcast is now also available in Spanish (in addition to German and English).

Since the Threema Work app has been available in Spanish for a while, translating the management cockpit was the next logical step, which greatly facilitates daily work for administrators.

Email vs. Instant Messaging

Can you imagine working without email? You’re not the only one who can’t: for decades, email has been an integral part of corporate communication. Even though several other online communication services have emerged since the first email was sent in the 70s, many studies have shown that email still is the most used communication channel.

Why C-Level Executives (Should) Use a Secure Business Messenger

Chat apps and their benefits of fast and easy communication have long arrived in companies. Many executives in C-level positions have come to appreciate the flexibility messengers offer: particularly in turbulent times, where one meeting comes after another, it’s practical to easily exchange important information via chat or quickly react to a message.

The Risks of Instant Messaging

In the hectic pace of everyday life, however, the security of a communication channel is often given little to no importance. A risk for companies: Regular chat services and the chat feature in collaboration tools don’t protect confidential information and personal data of employees sufficiently. This violates current data-protection regulations and can lead to heavy fines.

The Benefits of a Secure Business Messenger

The business messenger Threema Work combines security, GDPR-compliance, and the advantages instant messaging offers. End-to-end encryption and metadata restraint ensure optimal protection of communication and personal data. This makes Threema Work the ideal tool for spontaneous conferences via a video group call, for example. Another handy feature are polls in group chats, which facilitate finding a suitable date for the next meeting.

In Threema Work, internal company contacts are labeled as such. This prevents you from sending internal information to external parties by accident. Thanks to contact verification, you can also be sure that the person you are communicating with is actually who they claim to be, which is an effective countermeasure against CEO fraud.

Another important element is administrability: The powerful admin console allows administrators to implement security measures and define various app settings. For example, users who left the company can be automatically removed from groups to make sure internal information doesn’t fall into the hands of uninvolved third parties.

Long story short: A dedicated business messenger offers more than private messaging apps with respect to both business features and security and data protection. Especially for C-level positions, it’s worth introducing a secure WhatsApp alternative that protects confidential content and trade secrets appropriately.
