Security considerations
Carefully evaluate where and how to deploy a data retention bot. These bots centrally collect and decrypt all end-to-end encrypted messages sent or received by users, consolidating content that was previously accessible only on individual devices. As a result, this component and its data storage have exceptionally high security value.
If you deploy a data retention bot, ensure it meets the highest security standards and
aligns with your organizations security policy. For deployments using AWS services,
follow the additional guidance in our Security best practices
for AWS Wickr and AWS Cloud Security Shared
Responsibility Model.
