Maximum security for the highest levels of government
In ministries, confidentiality isn’t optional — it’s mandatory. Whether coordinating high-level decision-making, managing crisis communication, or collaborating across departments, Teamwire ensures sovereign and fail-safe communication. Fully GDPR- and NIS-2-compliant, hosted in Germany, and completely independent of U.S. cloud providers.
Typical challenges for ministries
In ministries, communication is a matter of national security. It involves classified documents, political decisions, and coordinated crisis response. Yet in reality, many settings struggle with fragmented systems, insufficient data protection, and a lack of resilient backup structures — all of which put confidentiality and operational capability at risk.
Why Teamwire is the right messenger for ministries and governments
Secure communication for confidential government affairs
In ministries, information security is non-negotiable. Whether cabinet coordination, political strategy or crisis response — every message may carry strategic or security relevance. Teamwire was built precisely for this: fully encrypted, completely data-sovereign, and fully compliant with European security and regulatory standards.
Full data sovereignty
Your communication data remains where it should — in Germany. Teamwire is hosted exclusively in certified European data centers (ISO & BSI C5) and guarantees immunity from third-country access, including U.S. legislation such as the CLOUD Act or FISA.
Multi-layer encryption & Zero-Trust architecture
All content, metadata and storage processes are secured using multi-layer encryption. In addition, the Zero-Trust model continuously verifies every device, user and connection — no implicit trust, no exceptions.
Privacy by Design & Default
Data protection is not an add-on, but a core principle: no metadata analysis, no address book access, no tracking — ever.
Custom data retention policies
Define how long messages, files and logs are stored. Automated deletion enables GDPR-, NIS-2- and IT-SiG-compliant data handling — without increasing administrative workload.
Certified security — verifiable and audit-ready
Teamwire is ISO 27001 certified. Hosting partner IONOS meets BSI C5 requirements. This enables ministries to meet NIS-2 and IT Security Act 2.0 obligations with verifiable documentation — ensuring secure, sovereign communication across all levels of government.
Fast, secure and sovereign — this is how digital government communication should work
Email, phone calls, official memos or cabinet meetings remain essential. But whenever information must be shared across departments, decisions accelerated or crises coordinated in real time, traditional systems reach their limits. Teamwire closes this gap with a secure, encrypted and sovereign real-time platform — purpose-built for confidential government work.
Securely share sensitive information
Send documents, voice messages, photos or classified notes end-to-end encrypted to departments, cabinet members or interministerial teams. Ideal for sensitive coordination or crisis communication.
Comment and edit files directly
Add notes, annotations or visual markings directly in the app — for example on drafts, cabinet submissions or operational reports. All changes are securely recorded and fully traceable.
Quick decision-making via secure polls
Coordinate decisions, approvals or meeting times within seconds. Results appear instantly — efficient, transparent and audit-proof.
Seamless integration — without shadow IT
Teamwire integrates smoothly alongside email, phone and DMS systems. All communication remains encrypted, traceable and fully compliant — without relying on private messaging tools.
Available on all devices — even during outages
Whether on mobile, desktop or web: ministers, state secretaries and departments remain connected at all times. Even if central IT systems fail.
Efficient real-time coordination — and everything runs as it should
In ministries, confidential information must be shared precisely, securely, and traceably. With Teamwire, collaboration works the way it should in political environments: fast, confidential, and sovereign. Everyone involved stays informed, and decisions are made on a unified and secure communication platform.

Secure voice and video conferencing for direct coordination
Conduct confidential conversations or ad-hoc meetings — encrypted and independent of foreign cloud providers. Ideal for crisis situations or urgent consultations.
Color-coded status and priority messages
Visually highlight urgent topics such as emergency decisions, situation reports, or new directives. Participants immediately recognize what needs attention (including read receipts).
Secure communication across hierarchies and departments
Teamwire enables structured, traceable communication between ministries, authorities, and security organizations — without the risks of shadow IT or insecure tools.
Stay operational — even during crises or cyberattacks
When cyber incidents, network failures, or IT outages occur, communication must not collapse. Government must remain able to act, and citizens must stay protected. Teamwire provides ministries with secure, independent emergency communication — ensuring operational continuity even when traditional systems fail.
Emergency alerts and panic button
Trigger alerts that override mute settings and immediately notify predefined recipients such as crisis units or senior officials. The panic button can also transmit location data and a voice message if required.
Push-to-Talk and broadcast messaging
Share critical updates with entire departments or task forces at once. Push-to-Talk enables instant voice communication without typing — essential when every second counts.
Live locations and situational awareness
Monitor operational sites, field teams, and affected locations in real time. An interactive map provides a clear overview of responsibilities and positions to enable precise coordination.
Documentation and traceability
All communication remains traceable and can be archived in an audit-proof manner if necessary. This enables ministries to fulfill their legal documentation obligations even in emergencies.
Full control over your communication — with no dependency on U.S. clouds
Digital sovereignty begins with infrastructure. Ministers and their teams must be able to communicate independently, securely, and without interruption at all times. Teamwire ensures that ministries retain full technological and legal control over their communication — with a highly available, sovereign infrastructure designed specifically for governmental requirements.
Flexible hosting: on-premises, private cloud, or public cloud
You decide where your communication data is stored — within your own data centre, in a private cloud, or in a certified German public cloud environment (BSI C5). 100% compliant with GDPR, IT-SiG 2.0, and NIS-2.
No dependence on U.S. providers or third-country access
Teamwire guarantees complete European data sovereignty. No exposure to U.S. legislation such as the CLOUD Act or FISA, no transfer to third countries, and no hidden dependencies.
