Media Scope Group is an international intelligence, consulting, and strategic communications company that works with clients in sectors where data protection, confidentiality, and operational efficiency are paramount.

Before switching to Wire, Media Scope Group relied on Signal for internal messaging. While Signal offered strong encryption, it wasn’t built for team-based workflows. Lacking essential business features, like user management, external collaboration, and secure data handling during employee transitions, Signal created operational friction.

With growing project complexity and strict data privacy requirements, Media Scope Group needed a platform that would not only be secure but also designed for business.

The challenge was finding a tool that combined enterprise-grade control, ease of use, and compliance with EU data regulations.

While evaluating messaging tools, the Media Scope Group team considered multiple options, including Signal, Threema, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace.

However, solutions tied to U.S. providers posed compliance concerns, especially with clients in public sectors.

Wire stood out as the clear choice for several reasons:

• Developed for businesses: Unlike Signal, Wire offers full admin control, scalable user management, and seamless collaboration features.
• Based in Europe: Wire’s infrastructure complies with GDPR and operates independently of U.S. data regulations, offering immunity from the Cloud Act.
• Fast and secure deployment: Our team found Wire easy to roll out and highly intuitive, even for non-technical users.

Enterprise-Grade Security
End-to-end encryption across all messages, calls, and files, including external collaborators.

Easy Onboarding & Admin Control
Wire’s intuitive UI requires no training, and IT teams retain full control over users and data access.

External Collaboration Made Safe
Create secure guest accounts, links, and chats for partners without losing visibility or control.

Email-Free Communication
Internal emails have been completely replaced by Wire’s group chats and DMs.

Transparent, Inclusive Communication
Company-wide announcements and updates are easily shared, increasing engagement and alignment.

Switching to Wire was fast and frictionless. Media Scope Group used Wire Cloud, so there was no installation or infrastructure work required.

Within a week:

• All users were set up and actively communicating.
• Teams reported a better experience than Signal, thanks to Wire’s more intuitive interface.
• Communication naturally increased, especially across departments and remote teams. 

Since implementing Wire, Media Scope Group has seen a measurable improvement in communication speed, security, and collaboration, internally and with partners.

Specific outcomes:

• 100% of internal email eliminated
• Increased messaging volume due to ease of use
• Stronger partnerships by securely integrating external collaborators into Wire
• Higher transparency with team-wide channels for news, updates, and strategy 

Overall Rating: 9/10

(We’d give it a 10 if not for the occasional minor glitch, like a message being sent twice when typing and hitting enter quickly.)

The platform continues to improve and adapt. Wire’s lightweight structure and security-first design make it ideal as Media Scope Group continues to grow and expand its services across Europe and beyond.
