Platform / Overview

One integrated platform.
Engineered as one system.

Wire is not a bundle of acquired tools. It is a single, vertically integrated stack — from cryptographic primitives to user experience.

Architecture

Four layers. One root of trust.

Experience

Messaging · Voice · Video · ECM

A unified surface across desktop, mobile and web — single identity, single audit trail.

Governance

Admin Console · SCIM · SSO

Lifecycle management, policy controls, retention, audit-ready logs.

Cryptography

MLS · Post-Quantum Ready

RFC 9420 Messaging Layer Security. Forward secrecy, post-compromise security.

Infrastructure

Sovereign Cloud · On-Prem · Air-gap

Run in your data centre or in jurisdictional cloud. Bring your own keys.

──── All layers operated under a single jurisdictional contract ────

Certified · Audited · Sovereign

Deployment Models

The same product, the same protocol — three operating envelopes, from public sovereign cloud to fully air-gapped installations.

01 / DEPLOYMENT

Hosted in EU/CH jurisdictions, isolated tenant, BYOK.

02 / DEPLOYMENT

Deploy into your own data centre with full operational control.

03 / DEPLOYMENT

Classified networks. No internet dependency. VS-NfD approved.
