What is YEO for Business?

YEO for Business is an enterprise secure communications platform built for regulated organisations. It combines end-to-end encrypted messaging with continuous biometric identity verification and a verified audit trail, meaning every communication can be evidenced not just for its content, but for the verified identity of the person who sent it.

How is YEO for Business different from WhatsApp, Signal, or Microsoft Teams?

Consumer and general-purpose messaging platforms, including WhatsApp, iMessage, and Signal, solve the encryption problem. They protect the content of messages in transit. They do not solve three problems that matter to regulated firms: data sovereignty (data on WhatsApp sits on Meta's servers, not the firm's), identity evidence (session logs show an account was active, not that the named account holder was verified at the point of the communication), and audit trail quality (most platforms produce content records, not identity-verified records). YEO for Business addresses all three.

What regulations does YEO for Business help with?

YEO for Business is directly relevant to obligations under SMCR (Senior Managers and Certification Regime), MiFID II, Market Abuse Regulation, FCA Consumer Duty, and insider dealing rules, all of which require regulated firms to evidence not just what was communicated, but who communicated it, and that the named individual was the verified person on record at the point of the communication. It is also relevant to data sovereignty obligations under UK GDPR and sector-specific FCA operational resilience requirements.

What is a verified audit trail and why does it matter?

A standard communications record shows what was said and when. A verified audit trail shows who said it, confirmed by biometric identity verification at or around the point of the communication, not reconstructed after the fact. Under SMCR, personal liability requires the FCA to identify a named individual responsible for a specific decision. A session log cannot confirm that the account holder was the person present. A verified audit trail can.

What is the session gap and why does it matter for compliance?

The session gap is the period between a user's login and the end of their session. Most platforms have strong controls at login but no verification mechanism after that point. For regulated firms, this means a named individual's credentials could theoretically be operated by someone else in the session and the firm could not demonstrate otherwise. YEO for Business closes this gap with continuous biometric verification throughout the session.
