The partnership allows Cirrus Networks to resell and provide services for archTIS’ NC Protect solution to support enterprise, government and defence clients across Australia with the ability to securely access and collaborate on sensitive and classified data.

Chris McLaughlin, Acting CEO at Cirrus Networks, said, "We are thrilled to be partnering with archTIS who will help take our security offering to the next level. It’s fantastic to see two Australian SME’s working together to help protect our customer’s sensitive data using innovative solutions coupled with high quality service execution."

The archTIS portfolio of data-centric information security solutions protect the world’s most sensitive content in government, defence, supply chain, enterprises and regulated industries through attribute-based access and control (ABAC) policies.

NC Protect provides enhanced information protection for file access and sharing, messaging and emailing of sensitive and classified content across Microsoft 365 apps, Dropbox, Nutanix Files and Windows file shares.

Matt Kluken, Vice President and General Manager APAC of archTIS, said, “I'm excited to announce our partnership with Cirrus Networks to expand their data security solutions portfolio with NC Protect to empower their customers to safeguard sensitive and confidential information from internal threats with policy-based, data-centric information security for their Microsoft collaboration applications.”

As reported by iTWire earlier this month, archTIS has acquired some assets of data protection solutions provider Cipherpoint, including the customers, technology and the European operations of the company's software division.

With the acquisition, arcarchTIS said assets acquired included the intellectual property to cp.Protect, an advanced SharePoint on-premises data encryption solution, and cp.Discover, a data discovery and classification platform.
