time (for example five minutes after it has
been sent or 10 minutes after it has
been read by the recipient).
Steve Slater, Operations Director at
GRC, said: “Armour Mobile provides
the broadest range of secure
communications features currently
available for use on an ordinary
smartphone, providing security that is
transparent to the end user, something
that is increasingly important to our
user base.

user adoption.”

Comms, added: “GRC is our first
partner to provide a 24/7 support
service from its HQ. Increasingly,
clients are demanding higher levels of
assurance and support, and we are
delighted to be working with GRC to
meet this requirement.”
