ginlo Business vs Private Discuss

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.

HD video meetings up to 1,000 participants

Vendor features and contact pages state secure HD audio/video conferences for up to 1,000 participants with screen sharing, virtual backgrounds, collaborative whiteboard, breakout rooms, live polls/voting, and in-meeting electronic signature—aimed at executive and sensitive operational meetings rather than consumer calls.

Large-scale webinars with role and recording control

Webinar tooling includes organiser/presenter/participant roles, granular permissions (present, share, record, content access), interactive stage, moderated hand-raise, secure chat/reactions, and HD recording with encrypted storage and controlled access. Contact materials claim capacity up to 1 million participants for large virtual events.

E2EE messaging, files, and co-editing in one suite

Instant messaging covers 1:1 and group/channel chat with presence and mentions; secure file and media sharing (up to 20 GB per message via PiTransfer per marketing); cloud co-editing and a document library for sensitive document workflows. Security pages claim non-disableable E2EE, AES-256 for real-time calls, and RSA-2048 for file sharing.

Sovereign deployment: SaaS, on-prem, or air-gapped

Hosting options include fully managed cloud SaaS, on-premise/private servers behind the customer firewall, and use cases marketed for air-gapped or constrained networks. Privacy policy states encrypted message storage on servers hosted in France; GTS state EU hosting without transfer outside the EU for personal data in scope.

Admin suite, kill switch, and policy controls

Administration covers local/regional admin roles, user and group management, time-based access, contact and file-sharing authorisations, activity monitoring, minimum client version enforcement, MFA, geographic access limits, custom retention, and remote revoke/wipe language for compromised devices—built for security teams governing a closed network.

In-house AI tools for identity and translation

Marketed AI features include deepfake/identity verification using camera, microphone, and device signals; real-time meeting translation; Private Translate for sensitive text/documents without content leaving customer infrastructure; and an AI companion for transcription, decisions, and post-meeting summaries—positioned for closed environments rather than public LLM APIs.
