End-to-end encryption.

Element's end-to-end encryption is based on Olm, an implementation of the Double Ratchet protocol popularised by Signal, and extended by Megolm to support large decentralised chat rooms.

Enterprise-grade E2EE functionality.

Element supports search, content scanning, antivirus and data loss prevention (DLP) in an end-to-end environment.

Visible in-room audit bots can be used to capture an official record of discussion and decision-making for regulation and compliance.

Fully managed hosted solution, preserving data sovereignty and end-to-end encryption.

Get out of Slack. Get out of Signal.

Cybersecurity teams need end-to-end encryption with enterprise-grade functionality.

Get out of Slack

  • Not E2EE
  • Centralised
  • Vendor lock-in
  • Limited external connections

Get out of Signal

  • Centralised
  • Walled garden
  • No integrations
  • Not enterprise ready

Be in your Element

  • Enterprise-grade end-to-end encryption
  • Decentralised for data sovereignty and resilience 
  • On-premise or cloud, with no vendor lock-in
  • Open standard, with bridging, for easy connectivity

A secure open standard for the cybersecurity community.

Element is based on the Matrix open standard, offering native interoperability with any other Matrix-based platform. Many CERTs and similar coordination communities are already on Matrix, so you can talk to your peers securely.

Matrix also has a range of bridges to traditional walled garden apps, such as Slack, Microsoft Teams and Signal. Bridging services are available for both cloud and on-premise deployments.

Matrix is an open network for secure, decentralised communication, connecting 42M+ users over 80K+ deployments.

Governed by The Matrix.org Foundation, the Matrix protocol is an open standard with open source implementations, supporting a vibrant developer ecosystem. Element was founded by the team behind Matrix as a way to bring it to the mainstream.
