Contact KIS Technologies today to see how we can help you make the most of Gamma Mobile.

Multi-Network SIM solutions

When connectivity matters, being tied to a single network contract just doesn’t cut it. As businesses become more and more reliant on mobile communications, committing to a single network can make the difference between success and failure.

Businesses with mobile workers or multiple sites know all too well that every network has its weak spots – which can mean no signal just when it matters most.

Multi-Network SIM contracts from KIS Technologies mean you’re not tied to any network and you always get the very best signal available – and the very best call quality – at any location.

We work with every UK network, which means we can work with you to ensure your company stays connected wherever you do business.

Mobile Recording

Regulatory Compliance

By January 2018, all financial firms will need to comply with one of the broadest pieces of financial industry legislation ever, MiFID II. Article 16 imposes broad changes on the need to record mobile conversations, with recent FCA guidance inferring ALL business mobile conversations must be recorded, and final guidance due in mid 2017.

Financial Institutions must now urgently implement technology solutions that meet MiFID II requirements, which combined with the drive to BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), is creating a sense of urgency as the deadline approaches, just as it did in the previous MiFID implementation in 2004, when many banks scrambled to deploy solutions at the last minute. This situation is being exacerbated by conflicting GDPR regulation due in May that mandates that firms are prohibited from recording and storing their employee’s personal conversations. This means there is a conflict coming between the need under MiFID II to record all conversations about potential transactions, mobile or otherwise, and the need to protect the personal privacy of the employee.

What are the key regulations?
Within any country of operation an organisation must comply with the set laws which apply in that jurisdiction. However, different jurisdictions will apply different regulations for people and organisations to comply and unlike many solutions currently available, VENNCOMM’s best in class solution offers true global compliance with a full feature set that ensures risk mitigation on a global basis.

  • 1
  • FCA COBS 11.8
    The FCA has required, since November 2011, that those directly involved in equity or commodity trading have their calls and texts recorded. VENNCOMM TALK can help organisations meet these requirements on both company-provided and personally-owned mobiles.
  • 2
  • MiFID II
    When the ESMA requirements under MiFID II come into effect, everyone involved in providing financial advice which may lead to a trade will be required to have their mobile conversations recorded, whether or not they result in a trade. VENNCOMM TALK enforces mobile call recording for regulated users.
  • 3
  • Dispute resolution: Protecting against another PPI
    Financial services organisations are looking at best practice examples to ensure that they are protected against future PPI type claims. VENNCOMM TALK provides a cost-effective and open solution available for recording calls across the entire corporate mobile estate.
  • 4
  • The Dodd Frank Act
    Firms are responsible for knowing all communication methods across transactions and retrieving them in a way that allows the ‘reconstruction’ of the communication, both pre- and post-trade.
  • 5
  • GDPR
    Due in May 2018 GDPR sets out the conditions for firms to meet in protecting employee data with heavy penalties for non compliance.

    As part of the Financial Services Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, specific mobile voice calls must be recorded, and this is set to widen drastically under MiFID II.

    As organisations have evolved and with how technology is used as part of overall communications strategies, the ability to comply with these regulations has become more and more difficult.

    For example, as organisations began to implement BYOD policies, the ability to record business related calls using BYOD devices diminished, leading to potential non-compliance and the opportunity for market abuse.

    Organisations must therefore take steps to ensure they remain compliant with new electronic communication requirements, including mobile voice recording.
Venncomm

Venncomm is a mobile first telephony solution delivered as an OTT application integrated into secure MDM containers (such as Good/Blackberry, MobileIron etc.) on BYOD, or corporate devices.

VENNCOMM has built market-leading technology to satisfy demand created by MiFID II and GDPR, an opportunity further powered by the almost universal goal of large firms to maximise their employee BYOD programs. These programs allow staff to use their own devices at work for calls, email, SMS and Chat thus saving significant cost on handsets for corporates.

VENNCOMM’s solution allows firms to record conversations of course, but also comes with other significant benefits for individuals and organisations as a whole. For example, being able to record, search, retrieve and transcribe conversations in real time increases the ability of individuals to keep records, whilst allowing compliance officers to monitor for market abuse.

Mobile Device Leasing

Could you imagine today's world without smart mobile devices or tablets? We certainly couldn't. These devices have made processes in the workplace faster and more efficient, improving productivity and profitability and has become a normality in our everyday lives.

Leasing Mobile Devices

The majority of sales teams read their emails on their mobile phones but devices such as iPads, android tablets etc are also perfect for a team to perform business activities on the go, but this technology is not cheap with the average new device costing over £500. Multiply this by the average number in a team and the cost escalates substantially

Not only this, the newest mobile device on the market is not new for long so why would a business hand over a large sum of money for technology which is going to depreciate within a couple of years? It is just not cost-efficient and whilst mobile contract deals include devices or hardware funds, you are in the long run paying, as your line rental determines what can be included, so why pay a higher line rental?

Leasing is the answer. This option will enable a business to acquire and enjoy the very latest devices to keep the users efficient and productive. Meanwhile, the business will enjoy the many benefits of leasing, such as 100% tax relief and fixed payment structures to suit budgetary needs.

At the end of your lease you also have the opportunity to take title of the equipment, or as many do, upgrade your entire fleet again with the very latest devices.

To support companies further with this investment we have created a short-term lease agreement for these products, running over a maximum of a 2 year period.

Technology does not stand still, so neither should you

Contact KIS Technologies today to see how we can help you utilise the very latest technology in the marketplace whilst keeping your mobile spend as low as possible.

Mobile Device Management (MDM)

Mobile devices in the workforce are here to stay and tablets and smartphones are arguably less secure than desktop PCs and laptops because they lack pre-installed malware protection. Most computers include at least a trial version of an antivirus suite, but for the newest mobile gadgets, individual users and IT managers are on their own to search for and install mobile endpoint security management.

This vulnerability has not escaped the attention of hackers, who unleash creative new threats like SMS text messaged-based attacks on a daily basis. The old-school virus, while still annoying, does not hold a candle to the damage caused by these new approaches in cybercrime, which include more sophisticated Trojans, keyloggers, phishing attacks and malicious apps than ever before.

Main components of an effective MDM program

If you determine that an MDM service is appropriate, how do you choose one? KIS makes that choice simple

Our suite of Mobile Device solutions keeps you in control of your company’s mobile devices by allowing you to:

· Real-time capture of e-data and telecommunications
· Cloud-based, so updates are automatic and painless
· Keep track of the hardware you own, and the applications installed on every device
· Remote configuration and monitoring
· Configure and manage mobile devices to be shared by multiple users
· Configure security policies including passwords, encryption, WiFi settings and the detection of ‘jailbroken’ devices
· Logging/reporting for compliance purposes
· Securely deliver business apps
· Simplify device management with unified endpoint management
· Remotely wipe, lock and password clear devices, and track their location even when lost or stolen
· Provide access to self-service portals which enable your users to protect both company data and their own
· Enhance the user experience on BYO or corporate mobile devices without compromising security
· Scalable, so new users and increasingly sophisticated devices can be accommodated easily

We have partnerships with all the leading MDM providers, including MaaS360, Airwatch and MobileIron – so we can build exactly the right solution to meet your business needs

Wandera

Enterprise Mobile Security

As adoption of corporate mobility continues to grow, so too does the number of attacks. Keeping corporate devices secure has never been more important. As businesses equip their staff with the latest handsets, they are increasingly exposed to new threats, vulnerabilities and data leaks. Wandera provides the toughest level of enterprise-grade protection against these mobile security risks.

Mobile threat defence
Wandera’s unique mixture of machine learning technology and analytical techniques identifies apps on every device that could be leaking sensitive data and monitors each device’s network connection activity to identify rogue Wi-Fi hotspots, isolate communications with risky sites and block untrustworthy connections.

Analysis of unusual configurations and unexpected behaviours helps reveal potential risks, unicovering and preventing new threats. Constant scanning for vulnerabilities detects when devices are at risk.

Content filtering
Wandera’s unique mobile web gateway provides a level of visibility into device usage, allowing end user activity to be restricted across web domains, URLs and applications, filtering riskier content and preventing connections to untrustworthy domains.

Blocking access to unapproved app stores to prevent downloads of rogue applications and filesharing services and preventing unwanted data uploads.

Data Management

Mobile internet usage has now surpassed desktop. For business, this means comprehending, capping and controlling this usage has never been more important.

Expense Management
By managing usage, for example by restricting employee access to data hungry apps like YouTube and Netflix, you can keep tabs on mounting data usage. More subtly, you can also compress data in real time, reducing usage by 10% with no discernible effect for the end user.

Customer notifications alert you and your employees when they reach your chosen data threshold, giving you the visibility you need to take back control of your data.

Policy Enforcement
Taking control of your data usage by blocking access to undesirable apps, URLs, and web domains. You can create policies that apply to different groups in different circumstances, switching employees from one to another with ease.

Get positive employee buy-in by creating flexible policies, on corporate or BYOD programs. Empower staff, change behaviours and encourage responsible usage through helpful end-user app notifications and analytics.
