WhatsApp Archiving

Business is happening on WhatsApp. Regulators already know.

Off-channel messaging on WhatsApp has driven billions in regulatory penalties. If your team uses it to talk to clients and you can't produce those messages, the gap itself is the violation. Sharp Archive captures WhatsApp conversations as a tamper-evident record, alongside your other 23+ channels.

Why WhatsApp is a live risk

The convenient channel is the exposed one.

WhatsApp is fast, encrypted, and everywhere — which is exactly why business slips onto it and out of your archive.

Off-channel enforcement

The penalties are already here

Regulators have fined firms billions for business conducted over personal messaging apps like WhatsApp that was never captured. The pattern is consistent: it isn't the conversation that's penalized, it's the failure to retain it.

SEC 17a-4 & FINRA

Texts are records, not side chats

If a WhatsApp message relates to your business, recordkeeping rules treat it like any other communication — it must be retained in a tamper-evident, retrievable form. A screenshot or manual export doesn't meet that standard.

Retrieval

Produce a conversation on demand

When an examiner or counsel asks for a thread tied to a client or date range, you should be able to search and export it in minutes — not chase individual phones or hope nothing was deleted.

How Sharp Archive works

WhatsApp, captured the way recordkeeping requires.

Connect WhatsApp as a text feed and conversations are captured continuously, indexed, and preserved in a tamper-evident record you can search and export on demand — right beside email, social, and your other channels.

23+ channels, captured continuously

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, RingCentral, GoHighLevel, website, plus text via iMessage, WhatsApp, and SMS — all in one place.

Intelligent monitoring & alerts

Automated risk scoring surfaces communications that may need review, so compliance staff aren't reading every message by hand to find the ones that matter.

Search and produce in minutes

When a records request or audit lands, find the exact messages across every channel and export them — without engineering tickets or waiting on a vendor.

Your data stays yours

On-demand export anytime, with no proprietary lock-in. Built on SEC 17a-4 compliant, tamper-evident infrastructure, and listed in the FINRA Compliance Vendor Directory.
