conference calls, file attachments,

and Message Burn, a facility where
the sender can set a message to
disappear after a certain time (for

sent or 10 minutes after it has been

Steve Slater, Operations Director at
GRC, said: “Armour Mobile provides
the broadest range of secure
communications features currently
available for use on an ordinary
smartphone, providing security that is
transparent to the end user, something
that is increasingly important to our
user base.
“Services that provide a consumer-
grade look and feel with higher
levels of assurance combined with
the convenience of using the phone
the user already has, means that
making and receiving a secure call or
communication does not disrupt normal
working patterns, helping to ensure
user adoption.”
David Holman, a Director at Armour
Comms, added: “GRC is our first
partner to provide a 24/7 support
service from its HQ. Increasingly,
clients are demanding higher levels of
assurance and support, and we are
delighted to be working with GRC to
meet this requirement.”
Using a FIPS 140-2 validated crypto
core, Armour Mobile has been awarded
many certifications including Commercial
Product Assurance (CPA) from the
National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)
