⚠ The Exposure

WhatsApp for business isn't ignored anymore

Your relationship managers, claims handlers, and traders are already having business conversations on WhatsApp; encrypted, ephemeral, and outside every retention policy you’ve written.

Messages don’t wait for your policy to catch up
Disappearing messages, local-only backups, and device loss mean the record your compliance team assumes exists often doesn’t.
Regulators have already caught up to messaging apps
eDiscovery requests and regulatory subpoenas expect complete evidence fast, sender, timestamp, group membership, voice notes, and forwarded media.
Retention requirements vary across jurisdictions
GDPR, MiFID II, SEC 17a-4, and RBI/SEBI guidelines mandate different retention periods and access controls simultaneously.

Platform Capabilities

Everything Compliance and IT Need for WhatsApp, in One Place

Capture

Every conversation, every format, no manual export

Archon captures WhatsApp Business API traffic and enrolled personal-number conversations at the source, including text, voice notes, images, documents, location shares, and group chat metadata, with zero reliance on the employee remembering to forward anything.

  • Real-time capture via WhatsApp Business API and mobile device enrollment
  • Voice notes, media, and documents archived alongside message text
  • Group chats, broadcast lists, and one-to-one threads all captured with participant metadata
  • 100% of supported traffic for enrolled numbers

eDiscovery

Search a voice note as fast as an email

When a regulator asks for every WhatsApp exchange with a specific counterparty over three years, your legal team shouldn’t be scrolling through screenshots. Archon indexes text and transcribes voice notes so everything is searchable together.

  • Search by sender, recipient, phone number, keyword, date range, or group
  • Automated transcription and indexing of voice notes
  • Export production sets with full chain of custody
  • Reviewer workflow with tagging, redaction, and privilege flags
Legal Hold

Access a custodian's WhatsApp archive without accessing their phone

Archon places WhatsApp records under legal hold independently of the device. IT never has to physically seize a phone, and the custodian keeps working while the archive keeps every message they’ve sent under the matter intact.

  • One-click hold placement across WhatsApp, email, and other channels together
  • Deletion and disappearing-message settings overridden automatically for held records
  • Full audit trail of hold activity for court admissibility and to support evidentiary requirements
  • Cross-channel holds so WhatsApp and email preservation stay in sync

Dashboard with four KPI cards: Capture Coverage 99.8%, Messages Archived 3.7M, Active Holds 7, Policy Exceptions 0; small upward trend icons on two cards.

Reporting

Prove capture coverage before an auditor asks for it

Archon gives compliance a live view of which numbers are enrolled, what’s being captured, and where gaps exist.

  • Enrollment and capture-coverage reporting by department, region, or number
  • Full access logs with timestamps, IP addresses, and actions taken
  • Unenrolled-device and policy-exception alerts
  • Exportable in PDF, CSV, or directly to your GRC platform

Compliance Coverage

Built for the regulations that already treat WhatsApp as a business record

  • Retain WhatsApp records for up to 10 years with automated lifecycle management
  • Satisfy eDiscovery and regulatory production requests with court-admissible export packages
  • Enforce retention policies that override disappearing-message and deletion settings
  • Real-time alerts when an enrolled number goes dark or an unsupervised app is detected
  • Pass regulatory audits with chain-of-custody documentation across every channel
