March 2026

Compliance isn't optional. It's infrastructure.

If your team works in financial services, you already know the stakes. MiFID II & UK MiFID require that all electronic communications relating to client orders and transactions — including voice — are recorded, retained, and made available to regulators on request. The fines for non-compliance are measured in millions.

Most organisations solve this with bolt-on recording solutions that sit alongside their communication tools — separate vendors, separate storage, separate audit trails. The result is a compliance architecture held together with duct tape: fragile, expensive, and full of blind spots.

whoot. takes a different approach. Recording, transcription, retention, and audit are built into the platform from the ground up. Every voice transmission — whether it's a push-to-talk room, a Private Wire via Flexenet, or a cross-tenant shared room — is automatically captured, encrypted, transcribed, and stored in tamper-proof infrastructure. No agents, no plugins, no configuration.
