WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FINRA ANNUAL CONFERENCE — CellTrust Corporation, a global leader in secure and compliant mobile communications, and MessageWatcher, a provider of electronic communications archiving, supervision, and compliance solutions, today announced a new reseller collaboration.

Text message capture, retention, supervision and eDiscovery

MessageWatcher now offers CellTrust's text messaging capabilities as part of its broader communications compliance stack. The collaboration cuts through vendor complexity, enabling firms to seamlessly integrate compliant, reviewable business text messaging aligned with leading regulatory recordkeeping requirements for financial services, public sector and other highly regulated sectors.

“Mobile has become the front line of business engagement, pushing regulated organizations to adopt compliant communications that connect with customers, partners, and stakeholders seamlessly on their preferred channels. Together with MessageWatcher, we are streamlining the mobile communication capture layer as part of their broad compliance stack offering and bridging the business text messaging compliance gap.” — Sean Moshir, Co-founder and CEO, CellTrust

From December 2021 to date, U.S. regulators within the financial services sector have levied over $3 billion in financial penalties for off-channel communication recordkeeping violations. The ability to capture and review business text messaging has become critical for regulated firms—not just for compliance, but for investigations, litigation readiness, and operational oversight. With this expanded offering, CellTrust and MessageWatcher enable organizations to address these needs more consistently across all communication channels.

“Regulated firms leveraging text messaging for business remain a compliance gap. By offering CellTrust’s mobile communication capture layer as part of our broad compliance stack, together, we can help firms reduce risk from unmanaged mobile communications.” — Craig Dinan, CEO of MessageWatcher
