In early 2020, the onset of the global pandemic forced a reevaluation of traditional work practices. At Tuta.com, where teamwork lies at the core of operations, in-person collaboration at the office had always been the preferred approach. However, as remote work became a necessity, the organization required a robust solution to maintain effective communication for daily stand-ups, meetings, and collaborative tasks.

Tuta is a leading provider of secure, encrypted communication solutions dedicated to protecting privacy. With Tuta Mail at its core, the platform offers state-of-the-art encryption technology designed to safeguard sensitive information and ensure reliable, confidential messaging for individuals and businesses alike. Tuta leverages open source principles and rigorous security standards to deliver a user-friendly experience that meets the demands of today’s digital landscape.

As an encrypted email provider, Tuta Mail is well-versed in the importance of IT security and data privacy. When the need for a secure collaboration tool arose, the search focused on finding a solution that not only supported reliable calls and meetings but also offered end-to-end encryption and strict data protection. Wire’s capabilities immediately aligned with Tuta's high standards. Several features made Wire stand out:
