Apple's iPhone and iPad running the Indigo configuration are listed in the NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue (NIAPC) and approved for use up to NATO RESTRICTED when the applicable security configuration requirements are met. The Indigo configuration was originally developed and accredited by Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and subsequently adopted within NATO's information assurance framework.

At the same time, Dencrypt Connex 6.0 is also listed in the NIAPC and provides secure end-to-end encrypted voice, video, messaging, group communications, file sharing, and collaboration capabilities on iOS devices.

By combining an Apple iPhone or iPad configured according to the Indigo security baseline with the Dencrypt Connex application, organizations can leverage two solutions that are already recognized within the NATO information assurance ecosystem

A Strong Foundation for National Accreditation

While accreditation decisions always remain the responsibility of the relevant national security authority, the combination of Apple Indigo and Dencrypt Connex provides a strong starting point for organizations seeking approval for NATO RESTRICTED mobile communications.

Benefits include:

• NATO-recognized mobile platform based on Apple iPhone and iPad devices.
• Secure end-to-end encrypted communications through Dencrypt Connex.
• Support for secure voice, video, messaging, files, and team collaboration.
• Reduced integration risk by selecting technologies already listed in the NIAPC.
• Potentially faster and more straightforward national accreditation processes compared with developing a bespoke solution from scratch.

Secure Communications Without Specialized Hardware

The combination enables government, defence, and security organizations to deploy secure communications on widely available commercial Apple devices while benefiting from the advanced security features built into Apple's hardware and operating systems together with Dencrypt's secure communications platform.

As defence organizations increasingly seek secure, mobile, and operationally flexible communications, the pairing of Apple Indigo and Dencrypt Connex offers a practical and trusted route towards NATO RESTRICTED mobility.
