stashcat is an encrypted messenger for public authorities and companies. The platform offers chat, video calls, broadcast lists and collaboration functions for contacts, groups, polls and appointments, with access to stored data from anywhere. An integrated marketplace allows external applications to be connected, and federation allows connections to other messaging services. Target sectors include defence and public authorities, logistics and production, insurance and finance, healthcare, media and retail. stashcat is delivered as a cloud service (SaaS) or self-hosted on premises, with branding adapted to the customer.
stashcat GmbH is based in Hannover, Germany. According to the website, hosting can be on-premise or cloud-based, depending on the customer's requirements. The country or data centre of the cloud service and the encryption method used are not stated there. For a European organisation the on-premise option is the most relevant, since the data then stays within its own infrastructure.
