You can also check out SpyShield. It uses PGP to secure the connection
between two MSN clients. The URL is here:

You might want to check out Jabber (http://www.jabber.org/), an
open-source protocol for real-time messaging and presence. I haven't
had any personal experience with it, but it seems to meet your
requirements well. The price is right, and since it's open-source you
should be able to customize it to meet your needs. In terms of
security, Jabber.org makes the following claims (from
http://www.jabber.org/about/overview.html):

"Any Jabber server may be isolated from the public Jabber network, many
server implementations use SSL for client-server communications, and
numerous clients support PGP/GPG for end-to-end encryption; more robust
security using SASL and session keys is under development."

Maybe someone who has implemented Jabber in a corporate environment can
contribute some insight?
