Common questions
No. Native WhatsApp backups are not real-time, can be deleted by users, lack audit trails, and do not provide tamper-proof WORM storage. Financial regulators explicitly require purpose-built archiving solutions that guarantee immutability, completeness, and auditability. Archived-It meets all of these requirements.
Yes. Archived-It captures messages regardless of whether staff use corporate or personal devices. There is no need for MDM software, device swaps, or changes to your team's workflow. Staff simply scan a QR code and continue using WhatsApp as usual.
Same-day deployment for most organisations. Create your account, invite your team, and staff connect their WhatsApp via QR code. Archiving begins immediately. There is no hardware to install, no IT infrastructure to provision, and no lengthy integration project.
You choose your hosting region to meet data sovereignty requirements. We support deployments across AWS and Azure regions globally. All data remains in your selected region and is never transferred without explicit consent.
Yes. Export records in CSV or JSON format with a single click. Use full-text search with date, sender, and keyword filters to locate exactly what regulators request. Exports include complete metadata, timestamps, and media attachments.
Yes. All archived data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Each company has separate encryption keys. WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption is preserved during the archiving process.
Archived-It captures all message types: text messages, images, videos, documents, voice notes, contacts, and locations. Group chats and individual conversations are both covered. All media is stored alongside the message metadata for a complete record.
Not at all. Archiving happens silently in the background. Staff continue using WhatsApp exactly as they do today. There are no additional apps to install, no changes to their messaging experience, and no extra steps in their daily workflow.
