Hello Lina,
I'm not sure what "high security levels" means, but given that this
group wants to discuss extremely personal and sensitive topics (namely
sexual assault / rape), choosing the services of a data company such as
Google, whose business model it is to access, analyse and sell private
data, doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
In my view:
- If the group is small (<10), I would use Signal or Threema.
- If not but there's some tech knowledge in the group, I'd get a server
at some place safe, set up an SSL certificate and install Mattermost on
that server.
- Otherwise, something similar to Mattermost is hosted by SpiderOak.
They call it "Semaphor", and it has full end-to-end encryption. Haven't
tried it myself but looks like a good solution for non-techy people.
Hope this helps.
