NIS2 has moved from a directive text to a daily operational reality for thousands of organizations across the EU, and Wire's new State of Secure Collaboration 2026 report shows how far everyday collaboration habits have to travel to catch up with that reality. We surveyed 208 IT, security, and compliance leaders across France, Germany, and the UK about how they collaborate, what they consider sensitive, and how prepared they feel for the regulation.

Wire Drive on mobile is getting two upgrades: files are now available offline, and finding them is faster with improved search, filters, and sort. Connectivity cannot always be assumed, and large file libraries need more than scrolling to navigate. For field operatives, mobile workers in restricted network environments, and professionals operating under strict security controls, both of these are daily realities — not edge cases. This release addresses both.

Business continuity planning has traditionally centered on IT failover, data backups, and facility recovery. Frameworks such as ISO 22301 give security and risk leaders a solid foundation for identifying critical functions and building recovery strategies around them. What many plans still don't account for is the communication layer itself, which focuses on the messaging and calling infrastructure that a response team depends on in the moment something goes wrong.

No organization is immune to cybersecurity incidents. Whether it's ransomware, phishing, or unauthorized access, the speed and effectiveness of your response often determine how much damage an attack can cause. That’s why every company needs a well-defined incident response plan that gives security teams a structured process for detecting, containing, and recovering from security threats.

If you’re evaluating secure team messaging software, chances are a security audit exposed gaps in your current platform, new compliance requirements have raised concerns, or your organization simply needs stronger protection for sensitive conversations. The challenge is that almost every messaging platform claims to be secure. But the level of encryption they offer varies. Many encrypt data in transit (if they provide encryption at all).

Ask anyone why they use WhatsApp for work and the answer is almost always the same: everyone's already on it. That's true. WhatsApp has over two billion users worldwide. It's fast, familiar, and free. When you need to reach an external partner quickly, or coordinate with a colleague outside your usual tools, it's the path of least resistance.

In many enterprises, communication is fragmented across multiple tools. Employees move between email, Microsoft Teams or Slack, WhatsApp groups, video conferencing platforms, file-sharing applications, and in some cases even legacy phone systems just to complete everyday work. Usually, because no single tool provides secure communication across multiple formats. For security and compliance teams, this creates a difficult challenge.

Collaboration tools allow teams to coordinate projects, share information, respond to incidents, and make decisions. But most of these tools aren't secure. As cyber threats increase, employees use consumer messaging apps for work, and regulations such as GDPR, NIS2, and DORA raise compliance expectations, organizations need collaboration tools that protect sensitive communications without slowing teams down.

What if Europe isn’t behind in tech but simply underexposed? In this episode of Wire Uncut, we speak with Dante Emilio Grassi, founder of EU Tech Map, a platform that started as a hobby project and quickly became a movement across LinkedIn and the European tech ecosystem. In just one week, EU Tech Map grew to 1,500+ companies across 77 categories and 44 countries. But beyond the numbers, this conversation explores something bigger: visibility, digital sovereignty, and why European companies often default to non-European software.
