FAQ: Have any questions?<\/h2>\n
We have the answers!<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n
General<\/div>\n
Features <\/div>\n
Technology<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n What mobile devices is the app appropriate for? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The Secure Contacts app is designed for enterprise devices with MDM management, bring your own device (BYOD), or corporate-owned personally enabled (COPE) devices, i.e., devices that are used for both personal and business purposes.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Is the app also available for Android? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The Secure Contacts app is already available in the Play Store, but the app protection policies (APP) cannot yet be configured for this version in Microsoft Intune. We are working at full speed to make this feature available as soon as possible!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n What editions are there? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The Standard and Enterprise editions are available. The Enterprise edition extends the functions of the Standard edition and enables, among other things, the integration of additional data sources, the activation of out-of-office mode, and anonymized calls. A comparison of the two editions is available here: https:\/\/www.secure-contacts.de\/infocenter\/preisliste<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n What’s included in the starter package? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The starter package includes integrating the Secure Contacts app into your Azure tenant as well as the company-specific configuration of the app.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Is there a user guide for onboarding users? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

A user guide is available here: https:\/\/docs.secure-contacts.com\/enduser-guide\/onboarding-sca
\nYou’re welcome to get in touch with us to get a detailed user guide for your configuration.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n How long does it take to roll out the app in the company? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Rollout is usually completed within a few hours.
\nBut it can take more time for specific technical requirements. We’ll gladly provide support for this.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Can other CRM systems besides MS Dynamics 365 be integrated? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

In addition to MS Dynamics 365, CRM systems from all vendors can be integrated. For example, we’ve already had positive experiences with SAP and Salesforce. But this may entail additional costs. Please contact us for an exact cost estimate!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Can contact data be created directly in the app? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Yes. New contacts can be created directly in the app \u2013 either manually or conveniently by scanning a QR code. The contact details are then automatically synchronized with Outlook, making them instantly available in your personal Outlook address book.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n And how does caller identification work? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The app uses Apple’s iOS CallKit feature to block and identify calls. When the phone gets an incoming call, the system searches the user’s local contacts for a matching phone number. If no match is found, it uses the app’s Call Directory extension to find a matching entry and identify the incoming phone number.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n How does the app handle duplicate contacts? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

For two contacts to be merged into one, the first and last names must be spelled the same and at least one phone number or email address must be identical.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Is the Teams status always shown? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

No, the display of Teams status can also be turned off.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Is it possible to connect and display messenger services? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Currently, it’s only possible to connect WhatsApp. In future releases, however, it will also be possible to connect to Signal and Telegram. Note: If the contacts are used for communication via messenger services, the privacy protection policies must be observed!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n What’s a vCard? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

A vCard is a file in VCF format that contains information about you and your company and can be processed by various applications (e.g., email programs, organizers, and calendars). A QR code is also generated, which you can use to give your counterpart access to your contact details as well.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Can the virtual business card be edited? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Yes, the data in the vCard can be changed by the user as they like.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n Is data in the Secure Contacts app encrypted? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The app stores all data in an encrypted SQLite database.
\nThe SCA app container itself is secured by MS Intune app protection.
\nAs a result, neither another app nor the operating system itself can view or modify the stored data.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Can the app be managed with other MDM solutions (besides Intune)? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The app was developed for Microsoft Intune and uses the security features provided by Microsoft.
\nConnection of other MDM solutions is possible, but this may have an impact on GDPR-compliant contact management.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Can the app be used without an MDM system? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Yes, this is possible. However, in this case, the data cannot be managed in a GDPR-compliant manner.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Can the default settings be managed centrally? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Almost all of the features can be managed centrally via app configuration polices in Intune. You can specify whether or not a particular feature is available to the user.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Can different default settings be used for different users? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The app can be managed for different user groups using individual configuration policies.
\nFor example, it can be set up so that only employees in Sales have access to data from the CRM.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n How does the integration of, e.g., Exchange contacts work? <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

If Exchange Online is being used, all of the user’s Exchange contacts will be automatically synced in the app.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
