A Norwegian communication platform for organisations

Encryption is not the same as security.

Most organisations have an emergency plan. Fewer have a service already in use when something happens. Skytale is Norwegian, end-to-end encrypted, managed by the organisation itself and independent of its other IT systems.

Chosen by the Norwegian Business and Industry Security Council for alerts in peace, crisis and war

Skytale has been selected as the communication platform for VARDE, the Norwegian Business and Industry Security Council's system for alerts and information sharing between the authorities, NSR and Norwegian businesses in peacetime, crisis and war.

During Arendalsuka in August 2026, around 100 key personnel from the police, organisers and businesses gathered in one channel and continuously shared messages, assessments and images to build a shared understanding of the situation. The teams did the work. Skytale provided their communication channel.

Identity and access

Do you know who you are communicating with?

In Skytale, users are verified and access is controlled by your organisation. No self-registration with a phone number, no strangers in the group and no accounts left active after someone has left.

  • Administrator-controlled user creation.
  • Multi-factor authentication.
  • Revoke access when the work is done.

The category

Free apps claim to secure messages. Skytale secures messages and organisations.

Free apps claim to secure messages. Skytale addresses a different task. Users are created and verified by the organisation, access is controlled and can be closed when the matter is concluded, content is end-to-end encrypted, and everything remains under Norwegian jurisdiction. Different problems, different models.

  • From

    Confidential matters in email and SMS

    To

    A dedicated room for each confidential matter

    Bring messages, documents and decisions together with the people who need to take part.

  • From

    Work groups in private messaging apps

    To

    Participants managed by your organisation

    An administrator creates users and can revoke access when the collaboration is over.

  • From

    Crisis coordination in everyday work channels

    To

    A separate, independent platform

    Set up a crisis coordination room before an incident and practise using it. Agree the setup, identify dependencies and test them in an exercise.

Use cases

When do you need Skytale?

When board matters need confidential handling, external parties need access to a specific case or an incident requires a dedicated channel. Skytale gives your organisation control over who takes part.

Skytale at BEGRENSET

Skytale can be delivered as a communication platform approved for BEGRENSET under the Norwegian Security Act. The solution has already been approved by the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM) for one of our customers. That approval covers the application together with the cloud service provider.
