Bringing the capture, real-time surveillance and use of mobile communications into one, user optimised application. Helping make compliance proactive, not reactive.
Insightful Technology is delighted to announce the launch of PRESENCE, its unified mobile communications compliance product, enabling regulated financial and other companies to capture, monitor and surveil across modern mobile messaging channels.
As traders and client-facing staff across both traditional finance and crypto increasingly rely on modern messaging platforms, compliance teams face growing pressure to adapt compliance tools to meet regulatory requirements (or face high fines). Business risk is heightened across fast-paced channels, and for compliance professionals, it’s time to adopt a real-time, proactive approach rather than relying solely on after-the-fact reporting*.
With PRESENCE, firms can:
- Capture voice and messaging channels like WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS etc
- Detect and block in real time potentially risky communications through integrated surveillance
- Unify used-by-employee mobile channels into one, user-friendly interface ready for monitoring
- Maintain evidential weight of data for audit and regulatory requirements.
“PRESENCE gives businesses a great opportunity to reduce costs, drive efficiencies and consolidate suppliers. Data is everywhere, oversight is not. Most businesses lack visibility into the non-traditional communication channels now used by employees and clients. They can now fill this gap and improve their compliance posture.”
Robert Houghton, Founder and CEO of Insightful Technology.
PRESENCE will be available to the market in September 2026, with early adopters working together with Insightful to ensure necessary mobile communications platforms can be integrated.
