WhatsApp is the world's most-used messaging app — and one of the easiest ways for sensitive data to leave the company. Anexet captures WhatsApp conversations and shared files on the endpoint, right where the user reads and writes them — on-premise, with no vendor access to your data.

WhatsApp feels personal and instant — which is exactly why employees reach for it to share files they should not.
End-to-end encryption protects messages in transit, but it also means network-based and perimeter tools see nothing. Files, voice notes, and chat history move freely through the app — invisible to any monitoring that sits on the wire.
Anexet takes a different approach: it captures WhatsApp on the endpoint, after the app has already decrypted content on the device. The WhatsApp Desktop application and WhatsApp Web are covered equally, across Windows, Linux, and macOS managed endpoints — with no need to break or bypass encryption.
End-to-end encryption hides every message and file from the network — only endpoint capture actually sees them.
WhatsApp's speed and familiarity encourage employees to share files they would not send over monitored corporate email.
The WhatsApp Desktop app and WhatsApp Web present the same risk — Anexet covers both surfaces the same way.
Everything you need to bring WhatsApp under control, included as your plan grows.
See who uses WhatsApp, when, and how much. WhatsApp time and application activity feed directly into employee-monitoring and productivity reports.
Capture individual messages, group chats, shared files, and media on the endpoint — searchable in the Client Console with the user identity and timestamp attached to every event.
Stop file and message transfers with security policies (Advanced); content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label keeps confidential data in (Premium).
Anexet records WhatsApp activity as the user sees it: one-to-one messages, group conversations, shared files, images, and voice messages — with the user identity and timestamp attached to every event.
Because capture happens on the endpoint rather than on the network, end-to-end encryption does not interfere, and WhatsApp Web is covered just like the desktop app. From the Advanced plan, policies can block file and message transfers; with Premium, content-aware rules block by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label.
From a WhatsApp message on the endpoint to a controlled, searchable record.
A lightweight agent on the managed workstation captures WhatsApp activity — desktop app and WhatsApp Web alike.
1
Captured messages, group chats, and shared files are sent to your on-premise server and indexed for search.
2
Security policies scan content in real time and can block, quarantine, or alert on a match.
3
Analysts review conversations, build cases, and export court-grade evidence from the Client Console.

Common questions about how Anexet handles WhatsApp.
Yes. Anexet captures WhatsApp on the endpoint — after the app decrypts content on the device — so end-to-end encryption on the network does not prevent monitoring. Messages, group chats, shared files, and media are captured as the user sees them. Coverage of specific WhatsApp features is confirmed for your operating system during the demo.
Yes. Endpoint capture covers the WhatsApp Desktop application and WhatsApp Web equally, on Windows, Linux, and macOS managed endpoints.
No. Anexet deploys lightweight agents on managed Windows, Linux, and macOS workstations — it does not include mobile agents. WhatsApp on phones and tablets is outside the scope of coverage.
Yes, from the Advanced plan. Security policies can block message and file transfers; content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label is part of Premium, so a confidential document can be read in the console but never sent.
Tracking and interception are included from Standard. Blocking message and file transfers is added with Advanced, and content-aware blocking is part of Premium.
Never. Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data. All captured WhatsApp messages, files, and activity logs stay inside your own infrastructure.
Anexet is deployed fully on-premise on your own servers. The vendor has no access to your data at any point — all processing, storage, and analysis happen within your infrastructure.
