archTIS Achieves Major Milestone in Sale of NC Protect to
U.S. Department of Defense
Initial licenses to support expected significant expansion across Microsoft DoD365
HIGHLIGHTS:
• A prime government contractor for the U.S. DoD has awarded the contract for
an initial 1,000 users of NC Protect as part of ongoing deployment processes.
• The procurement of NC Protect is expected to expand in the coming months
across the broader U.S. DoD, including an initial 150,000 users across the
warfighter network.
• This would expand the global NC Protect user base 6-fold and would serve as
a key driver of growth in FY26.
• The initial license sale is valued at A$38,500 to allow the contractor to enhance
systems in a live production environment in preparation for further NC Protect
licensing procurement.
archTIS Limited (ASX:AR9, OTCQB:ARHLF) (“archTIS” or the “Company”), a global
provider of data-centric software solutions for the secure collaboration of sensitive
information, is pleased to announce a significant milestone in its engagement with a U.S.
Department of Defense agency. Following months of rigorous validation by a prime
government contractor, the archTIS NC Protect solution has successfully passed a major
evaluation milestone for collaboration within the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD)
Microsoft DoD365 cloud environments with an initial 1,000 user award.
Mr Daniel Lai, archTIS Managing Director and CEO, stated: “This initial award marks a
pivotal milestone in our strategy to penetrate and service the U.S. defence market – the
largest in the world. It is a key achievement that evidences our capability in this competitive
sector, which is characterised by extensive compliance requirements and strict security
standards. By establishing a foothold in this market, we are actively positioning ourselves to
capitalise on future opportunities in government and defence. We believe this market will
contribute significantly to our overall growth objectives.”
The initial contract for 1,000 user licenses for NC Protect was awarded by a prime
government contractor serving the U.S. DoD, which was also responsible for obtaining a
fully approved Authority to Operate (“ATO”). The value of the initial licenses is A$38,500
over a six-month period, including limited services, with the procurement contracts being
managed by Copper River Technologies – an archTIS partner and federal contract holder
since 2024.
The purchase of the licenses will support the prime contractor in developing processes and
systems in a live production environment. The next stage of deployment is expected to
involve onboarding 150,000 users as part of the first phase in a multi-phase rollout across
the warfighter network, with the further potential to extend license coverage more broadly
across the U.S. DoD. We anticipate contract signing in the next few months, serving as a
key driver of growth in FY26.
