Compliance built-in

YakChat + RCS: Compliance by Design

Using RCS on personal phones puts your business at risk of shadow IT. Messages are scattered across individual devices with no central oversight, records, or control.If a message is deleted, it’s gone. Lose an employee, and you lose the entire conversation. CCPA and FCC obligations around data access, retention, consent, and auditability can be breached in an instant.YakChat provides a controlled, auditable way to use RCS in Webex. Messages are centrally managed, archived, and retained in line with organizational policies — ensuring data protection and compliance.Built-in opt-out handling ensures customer preferences are respected, reinforcing compliant messaging.
One platform. Every channel

Add More Messaging Channels to Webex
