Why Wallboard Complements BrightSign Perfectly
BrightSign is great at running your screens. Wallboard is great at running everything behind them.
- Deployment on your terms: Self-manage Wallboard in your own data center or cloud account, with restricted or air-gapped networking if you need it, or choose a hosted private instance. Wallboard can also manage customer-hosted installs by agreement. No vendor lock-in.
- Total control: Data residency, internal-only networks, and federated identity (SAML 2.0, per-tenant IdPs) all come standard.
- Enterprise security baked in: TLS 1.3, mTLS between services, AES-256 encryption at rest, and strict role-based access controls.
- Customer-hosted control: In a self-managed deployment, Wallboard runs on infrastructure your organization hosts and operates, under your own security processes.
In short: you don’t lose control, you gain features.
What You Gain by Pairing Wallboard with BrightSign
This isn’t about replacing what works. It’s about leveling it up. Wallboard doesn’t replace BrightSign — it complements it. You keep the devices and operational standards you trust, while gaining a CMS that aligns with modern enterprise expectations around security, scalability, and content control.
- Smarter workflows: Drag-and-drop editor, proof-of-play analytics, reusable templates, and real-time previews.
- Data-driven content: Pull in live dashboards, IoT sensors, POS data, or Google Sheets. Make your screens as dynamic as your business.
- Content layering & emergency overrides: Because sometimes, urgent alerts matter more than scheduled content.
- Flexible scheduling: Playlists and Channels let you mix simple rotations with campaign-style logic (priorities, frequency, local overrides).
- Enterprise-grade user control: Granular roles, team-based permissions, UI profiles, and optional MFA ensure everyone has the right level of access.
And since Wallboard runs seamlessly with BrightSign, you can explore advanced tools when you’re ready.

Built for Security-Sensitive Environments
If you’re in government, healthcare, education, or finance, security isn’t optional. Wallboard was designed for these environments from day one.
- Self-managed or hosted private instance: A dedicated Wallboard environment and database for your organization, in your own infrastructure or hosted by Wallboard.
- Hardened architecture: Containerized microservices, Kubernetes orchestration, and zero-trust internal design.
- Regulatory alignment: GDPR-compliant by default, with region-specific hosting and contractual data residency options.
- Audit & compliance roadmap: SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 are both underway, with third-party penetration testing already complete.
Bottom line: you meet (and often exceed) IT and compliance requirements without adding extra tools.
