WeChat is widely used for business — yet its traffic is encrypted end-to-end, leaving most monitoring tools blind. Anexet captures WeChat on the endpoint itself, logs messages and files as users see them, and can block transfers before sensitive data leaves. Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data.

WeChat combines personal and business communication in one app — and that mix makes it one of the hardest channels to govern.
Files, documents, and sensitive conversations flow through WeChat every day on company devices. Because the app's traffic is encrypted, perimeter and network-layer tools cannot read it. Most organizations either block WeChat entirely or accept the blind spot.
Anexet offers a third option: capture WeChat on the endpoint, after the Windows desktop client has processed the content. Messages and transferred files are logged with user identity and timestamps, searchable from the Client Console — without touching network traffic at all.
Employees mix work and personal contacts inside one app, so sensitive data can leave through conversations that look routine.
Encrypted traffic means network and proxy tools see packet noise, not content — only an endpoint agent can capture the plaintext.
Documents, spreadsheets, and images sent via WeChat leave no trace in email or cloud-storage logs — unless an endpoint agent records them.
All three layers of WeChat oversight are included as your plan grows — no separate modules to purchase.
See who uses WeChat, when, and for how long. WeChat activity feeds directly into employee-monitoring and productivity reports so you have a full picture of desktop communication.
Capture messages and files exchanged through the WeChat Windows desktop client on managed endpoints. Every event is stored with the user identity and timestamp, fully searchable in the Client Console.
Block file transfers in WeChat with security policies (Advanced plan); add content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label to stop confidential data from leaving (Premium).
Anexet records WeChat messages and file transfers as they occur on the endpoint — no proxy, no network tap needed. Each captured event is tied to a specific user and timestamped, so your security team can search, filter, and reconstruct any conversation from the Client Console.
Because capture happens on the Windows desktop client rather than the network, encryption does not interfere. From the Advanced plan, security policies can block file transfers the moment they match a rule. With Premium, content-aware policies check files against digital fingerprints, keyword dictionaries, and confidentiality labels before allowing them through.
From a WeChat message on a managed workstation to a searchable, controlled record.
A lightweight Anexet agent runs on the Windows workstation and captures WeChat activity from the desktop client.
1
Captured messages and files are sent to your on-premise server, indexed, and stored — entirely within your own infrastructure.
2
Security policies scan transferred content in real time and can block, log, or trigger an alert when a rule is matched.
3
Security analysts review conversations, investigate incidents, and export evidence from the Client Console.

Common questions about how Anexet handles WeChat.
Yes. Anexet captures WeChat on the endpoint — after the Windows desktop client has decrypted the content on the device — so encryption on the network does not prevent monitoring. Messages and files are captured as the user sees them, not from the wire.
No. Anexet uses endpoint agents installed on managed Windows workstations. Mobile devices are not in scope — coverage applies to the WeChat Windows desktop client on company-managed computers.
File transfer blocking is available from the Advanced plan. You can create security policies that block outbound file transfers in WeChat based on protocol and channel rules. Content-aware blocking — matching files against digital fingerprints, keyword dictionaries, or confidentiality labels — is part of the Premium plan.
No. Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data. All captured WeChat messages and files stay inside your own infrastructure and are never transmitted to Scinero Software Limited or any third party.
Not reliably. WeChat uses end-to-end encryption, so network-layer and proxy-based tools cannot read message content. An endpoint agent is required to capture content before it is encrypted for transmission or after it is decrypted on receipt.
Yes. The endpoint agent captures text messages and file transfers exchanged through the WeChat Windows desktop client. Each event is stored with the user identity and a timestamp so it can be searched and reviewed in the Client Console.
All captured data is stored on your on-premise server and indexed for full-text search. Your security team can search by user, date range, keywords, or file type, build a timeline of events, and export evidence from the Client Console for internal review or legal proceedings.
