The Australian data security firm confirmed via an ASX announcement that it had signed a contract with the Australian Department of Defence valued at $2.3 million.
ArchTIS will expand its NC Protect licences within the department to further secure sensitive information and its sharing.
The contract will run until 2028.
“This contract is an important step to open new market opportunities for NC Protect. It demonstrates strong growth for NC Protect with a referenceable target market client. It also validates NC Protect’s unique value proposition as the premier data-centric security solution for Microsoft products within the Australian Department of Defence,” Daniel Lai, managing director at archTIS, said in the ASX announcement.
“This contract places archTIS in a strong position for future growth as global Defence organisations struggle with the challenge to securely share and collaborate on the sensitive and classified information.”
This is in addition to a $700,000 contract awarded in June 2024 to set up NC Protect across on-premises SharePoint deployments across the Department of Defence.
NC Protect is a real-time, attribute-based data protection and access management solution that runs on Microsoft’s SharePoint and Microsoft 365 platforms.
ArchTIS also signed a $466,840 contract with fellow Australian security firm Penten in April 2024. That contract provided Penten access to archTIS’ military-grade secure document collaboration platform Kojensi, which was to be rolled out within an unnamed Australian national security agency.
