archTIS

archTIS is an Australian cybersecurity company specializing in data-centric security solutions designed to protect sensitive information across collaboration and cloud environments. The company's approach centers on applying security directly to data rather than relying on network perimeters, repositories, or location-based access controls. Its flagship product, NC Protect, is built for Microsoft 365 environments and provides dynamic, attribute-based access controls that enforce data protection policies based on content, context, and user attributes. This allows organizations to control how sensitive files are accessed, shared, and used — even after they leave a secure repository. archTIS serves government, defence, and enterprise customers that handle highly sensitive or classified information. The company has been recognized as a finalist in the Australian Defence Industry Awards under the Cyber Business of the Year category, reflecting its focus on security requirements for defence and national security sectors. The company has pursued growth through acquisitions: it acquired Spirion, a U.S.-based data security firm specializing in sensitive data discovery and classification, to broaden its data-centric security portfolio and expand into the North American market. It also acquired assets from Direktiv to advance automation capabilities across its zero trust product lines. archTIS advocates for a data-centric zero trust model, where access decisions are made continuously based on data sensitivity, user identity, device posture, and environmental context. This positions the company at the intersection of data protection, information rights management, and zero trust architecture for organizations managing regulated or classified data.
