Mode - Secure Communication 1.6.14

The Mode iOS application necessitates activation through a Mode administration portal or an existing account hosted on another platform.

It is important to note that the Mode iOS app cannot be utilized without prior activation via a Mode administration portal.

Mode provides a secure environment for workplace communication, encompassing messaging, video calls, and file sharing—ideal for organizations with stringent data security requirements. As a comprehensive encrypted communication solution managed through an administrative portal, Mode consolidates essential features to facilitate secure team collaboration within your organization.

Enhance your security posture with Mode by leveraging advanced features such as:

• End-to-End Encryption: Ensures that communication data remains accessible solely to your team.
• Post-Quantum Security: Safeguards data against future decryption attempts by quantum computers.
• Secure Data Storage on Device: Eliminates the need for a central organizational database of communications.
• Administration Portal: Centralized management of user access, communication policies, and data security settings.
• Data Lifecycle Control: Defines the retention period for messages and files, allowing for automatic expiration when appropriate.
• Content Lock: Prevents exportation of messages and files from the secure environment.
• Message Redaction and Revision: Edit or delete previously sent messages to maintain accuracy and confidentiality.
• Password Protection: Ensures exclusive access to the app for authorized users.
