Encrypted Workspace & Messaging — Privacy Comparison Data

An open dataset comparing encrypted-workspace and secure-messaging vendors across privacy-architecture attributes: end-to-end encryption surface, key custody, metadata posture, recovery model, and more.

10 vendors × 16 attributes. Compiled from public vendor documentation.

Files

File What
competitor-matrix.json Full structured dataset — values and a privacy-favorability flag per cell, plus vendor metadata.
competitor-matrix.csv Flat values matrix (one row per attribute, one column per vendor) — drops straight into a spreadsheet.

Vendors covered

Slack · Notion · Google Workspace · Microsoft Teams · Discord · Signal · SMS · Facebook Messenger · LinkedIn · WhatsApp — compared against Koaich.

Attributes

End-to-end encryption (messages / documents / files), key custody, who can read content, metadata exposure, recovery model, group-encryption protocol, distribution model, and more. See the JSON attributes[].attribute list or the CSV header for the full set.

A note on neutrality

This dataset is published by Koaich, which is itself one of the compared products. The favorable flags in the JSON reflect a privacy-architecture lens (does a vendor's posture on an attribute favor the user's privacy?). The raw value fields are factual statements drawn from public documentation — check them against the methodology sources, and if a cell is wrong, open an issue or email hello@koaich.com. Corrections update the canonical source and propagate here.
