Running a political campaign today means dealing with constant digital exposure — from chat groups to sensitive internal documents, everything is online. But during elections, your messages, plans, and team communications can become targets. Whether it’s a rival party, a malicious actor, or even insider leaks, the risk is real.

If you're managing a campaign in Africa, here’s how you can protect your team — and why you should seriously consider using Project Hierophant by GetTrusted to do it.

1. The Risk Is Bigger Than You Think

Campaigns move fast. That often means using whatever tools are available — WhatsApp, email, Google Docs, and cloud drives. While convenient, these platforms:

  • Store metadata that reveals who’s talking to who

  • Can be hacked or misused by insiders

  • Aren’t designed for high-stakes situations like elections

In some African elections, campaign leaks and intercepted conversations have turned the tide. You can’t afford that.

2. WhatsApp and Zoom Aren’t Enough

These tools are great for everyday chats and meetings, but they aren’t built for:

  • Confidential strategy discussions

  • Donor and financial data

  • Legal or crisis coordination

  • Field team coordination in remote or low-signal areas

One breach can ruin a campaign’s momentum or credibility. And “end-to-end encryption” doesn’t always protect your metadata, backups, or account details.

3. Enter Project Hierophant by GetTrusted

Project Hierophant is a secure communication system designed for sensitive environments — from government to crisis teams. Now, campaign teams can use it too.

Here’s how it helps:

  • No account needed — no phone numbers, no usernames, no cloud

  • No metadata exposure — no logs, no contact lists, no leaks

  • Works offline — over local Wi-Fi, USB, radio, or even air-gapped setups

  • Post-quantum encryption — future-proof security that goes beyond standard tools

  • Fully private — your campaign data never touches a third-party cloud

You stay in full control — no app store downloads, no third-party access, no tracking.

4. Practical Ways Campaigns Can Use It

This isn’t theoretical. You can use Project Hierophant today for:

  • Sharing internal memos and sensitive files

  • Coordinating remote teams securely

  • Communicating when internet is unreliable or blocked

  • Running a digital command center that’s fully secure and trace-free

Even better, it can work alongside your existing tools — just use it for the communications that really matter.

5. Get Started Early

The best time to secure your campaign isn’t after a data breach. It’s now.
