When evaluating live chat platforms for enterprise use, security should be your top priority. Here's what to look for.
Essential Requirements
SOC 2 Type II: This certification ensures the platform maintains rigorous security controls. GDPR Compliance: Essential for any company handling EU customer data. Encryption: All data should be encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256).
Advanced Features
SSO/SAML: Single sign-on reduces password fatigue and improves security. Audit Logs: Complete visibility into who accessed what and when. Role-Based Access: Granular permissions ensure least-privilege access.
