Wickr has secured a contract from the US Air Force (USAF) to provide its recall, alert and messaging (Wickr RAM) across the US Department of Defense (DoD).
Under the $35m contract, Wickr will deliver secure communications to the army, navy, marine corps and airforce with end-to-end encrypted file, video, chat, text and voice services for end-users.
Wickr Federal Operations head Dan Skinner said: “Providing secure communications to the tactical edge and higher on government and personal devices for data up to IL4 FOUO to include PII and PHI is greatly improving situational awareness and enabling commanders to have more complete decision-making data.”
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) certified Wickr RAM will enable full administrative and compliance controls.
The end-to-end encrypted collaboration platform is a DoD approved Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) certified application suite.
Accredited by the DoD, the self-hosted platform is the only collaboration service that meets the security criteria of the National Security Agency (NSA).
