SMS+ : Private cloud

SMS+ offers a suite of benefits to extend SMS into a secure messaging solution. Our dialogue with customers generated feedback that triggered the next step, SMS+ Private Cloud.

Conceived to meet the needs of a Healthcare customer, 2sms has added features to SMS+ to meet the requirements of HIPAA / HITECH for patient confidentiality. The basic requirement is that 2sms and its message delivery partners should at no time 'see' ePHI / PII, and that ePHI / PII should be deleted as soon as the message is transmitted and confirmed as received and read.

SMS+ private cloud adds a layer of security and funtionality on top of SMS+ :

• Single tenant version of our SMS+ platform. Your data is held in its own encrypted data store.
• Choose location of your SMS+ app and data from one of 140 countries offered by Microsoft Azure.
• End to end encryption of data.
• Message content encrypted at rest, and cannot been ‘seen’ by 2sms or downstream suppliers.
