Wickr’s Security Suite taps into the big swing we’ve seen towards services that give users more control over their data and their identity. “All that secret sauce together is what makes us so special,” she says. More likely, the deals will be on a feature-by-feature basis.

These are actually all features in the existing Wickr app, but as founder/CEO Nico Sell describes it to me, it will be rare, if ever, that Wickr will agree to sell the full mix to any single customer.
The Security Suite, as Wickr calls it, points both to areas that have been the subject data breaches from a range of apps in recent times, as well as features that have been drawing consumers to certain apps: Wickr had hinted at the product earlier this month after it raised a $9 million Series A round, and now, with patents approved on two of the features and pending on eight more, it’s moving ahead with the strategy.

Wickr, one of the wave of messaging apps built on the idea of private, encrypted and self-destructing data, has vowed never to make money off its users - with its app remaining free, and user data never getting sold on or accessed by others. But it is starting the process of making money regardless.Īs Wickr the app continues to amass more users (between 50,000 and 200,000 new accounts per day, I’ve been told, with the Android version now live alongside the existing iOS app), Wickr the startup is launching a B2B product: a suite of six privacy features that it will sell to other developers who want to add extra security to their apps.
