Full encryption design for chat and files
Vendor GTC describe a full-encryption architecture: no unencrypted messages stored on ginlo servers, decryption keys only on authorised messenger clients, and encryption in transit plus on devices and intermediate server storage. Practical for regulated orgs replacing email for sensitive threads—confirm cipher suite details in procurement docs.
Management Cockpit with AD/LDAP and MDM hooks
Central admin for licences, CSV/AD/LDAP user import, department keywords, password and attachment policies, corporate design, groups, and info channels. Leaver accounts can be blocked and communications deleted quickly when devices are lost—built for IT ops without requiring a messaging platform engineer.
Business to ginlo Private external bridge
Employees on paid Business seats can message external contacts on free ginlo Private without charging those outsiders. Suits practices, schools, and authorities that need secure outbound reach beyond the licensed tenant.
Multi-device sync, channels, and A/V conferences
Use up to ten devices per account with server-side sync while messages remain available; announcement/content channels for org-wide updates; audio/video conferences with screen sharing; self-deleting and scheduled messages plus QR identity checks and ginlo ID without exposing a phone number.
Germany-hosted managed service
Contracting party is ginlo.net GmbH in Munich; GTC require the server and storage in a German computer centre certified to ISO 27001 based on BSI IT-Grundschutz, with no ginlo-initiated third-country transfer. Managed SaaS only—no public self-host option.
Sichere Dateisynchronisation und Freigabe
Ende-zu-Ende-verschlüsselte Synchronisation über Geräte hinweg mit öffentlichen Links, Berechtigungen und Ablaufdaten. Vorteile: Sicherer Remote-Zugriff ohne Datenlecks – ideal für Teams mit sensiblen Dateien.
Echtzeit-Kollaboration und Office
Integration von Collabora und OnlyOffice für Live-Dokumentenbearbeitung. Talk ermöglicht Chat und Videokonferenzen. Produktivität wie Google Workspace, aber self-hosted für Privatsphäre.
Groupware und Produktivitätssuite
Kalender, Kontakte, Mail und Aufgaben in einer App. Flow automatisiert Workflows; Assistant nutzt lokale KI für Übersetzungen und Zusammenfassungen. Zentralisiert Tools und reduziert App-Fragmentierung.

| Considerations & known limitations | ginlo Business | Nextcloud |
|---|---|---|
| Limited public audit and cert artefacts | Medium ISO 27001/IT-Grundschutz and regular audits are vendor-asserted; no public audit PDF or cert registry entry found. Procurement should request evidence under NDA. | Nicht angegeben |
| Closed managed SaaS only | Medium No self-host or open-source server path. Exit and independent verification depend on vendor cooperation and export tooling. | Nicht angegeben |
| Mobile push via Apple/Google | Low GTC reference Apple Push Notification and Google Cloud Messaging for new-message signals. Content is claimed E2EE, but delivery metadata still touches US platform infrastructure. | Nicht angegeben |
| Processors described by category only | Medium Privacy policy lists German data centres, line providers, and payment providers without naming operators. Harder to complete CLOUD Act / transfer diligence from public sources alone. | Nicht angegeben |
| External parties must use ginlo | Low The Private bridge helps, but contacts still need ginlo Private installed—unlike email or WhatsApp ubiquity. | Nicht angegeben |
When: You need open-source components, MLS roadmap, or private-cloud/on-prem options
Consider: Wire (Swiss secure collaboration)
Wire is commonly shortlisted for enterprise secure messaging with more deployment flexibility than pure SaaS messengers.
When: You already run a self-hosted collaboration hub and want chat inside that stack
Consider: Nextcloud Talk (Germany)
Pairs with Nextcloud Files/Groupware; different product shape than a standalone dual Business/Private messenger.
When: You need mass consumer reach more than organisational sovereignty
Consider: WhatsApp Business or Microsoft Teams
Higher network effects; weaker EU-sovereignty and admin story for sensitive regulated chat.
