How archTIS Secured 1,000 Licenses in U.S. DoD and $8M to Boost Expansion
archTIS has renewed 1,000 NC Protect licenses within the U.S. Department of Defense’s Microsoft DoD365 environment and secured an $8 million debt facility to accelerate its U.S. market expansion.
- Renewal of 1,000 NC Protect licenses for U.S. DoD production deployment
- Deployment validates real-time data protection aligned with DoD Zero Trust mandates
- Custom software enhancements due mid-January 2026 to support interoperability
- Enterprise license discussions resumed post U.S. government shutdown
- Secured $8 million non-dilutive debt facility to fund Spirion integration and growth
Renewal and Deployment Milestone
archTIS Limited has marked a significant step forward in its U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) engagement by renewing 1,000 licenses for its NC Protect software within the DoD’s Microsoft DoD365 production environment. This renewal, valued at $38,500 for six months, transitions the software from pilot to full production use, underscoring the DoD’s commitment to data-centric security solutions that protect sensitive information in real time.
The deployment aligns with the DoD’s stringent Zero Trust security framework, a non-negotiable mandate set to be achieved by September 2027. NC Protect’s attribute-based access control capabilities directly enforce these policies, positioning archTIS as a key player in the DoD’s cybersecurity strategy.
Custom Enhancements and Enterprise Licensing
To meet the DoD’s evolving operational needs, archTIS is delivering customized software enhancements expected by mid-January 2026. These upgrades aim to improve interoperability and support a larger-scale deployment within the DoD365 environment, further embedding NC Protect into critical defense workflows.
Following delays caused by the recent U.S. government shutdown, enterprise license agreement discussions have resumed. These agreements are anticipated to involve substantial license blocks, starting from 8,000 users and potentially scaling to several hundred thousand, signaling a major growth opportunity for archTIS.
Strategic Financial Moves and Spirion Integration
In parallel with its DoD progress, archTIS is advancing its integration with Spirion, a move that has already generated $4.5 million in annual cost synergies. This integration is part of a broader strategy to deepen market penetration in the United States through cross-selling initiatives.
To support these efforts, archTIS has secured a non-dilutive $8 million debt facility from Regal Tactical Credit Fund. This senior secured drawdown facility, with an eight-month term, provides the company with flexible capital to accelerate product integration and expand its U.S. footprint without diluting shareholder equity.
Looking Ahead
With U.S. federal procurement offices returning to full operation, archTIS is well positioned to advance its enterprise licensing negotiations and continue delivering on its contractual commitments. The company’s progress reflects not only technical validation but also growing confidence from U.S. defense stakeholders in archTIS’ solutions.
CEO Daniel Lai highlighted the significance of these developments, noting the rare achievement for an Australian company to secure such a foothold within the U.S. DoD. As the Zero Trust mandate drives demand for sophisticated data protection, archTIS stands at the forefront of this critical cybersecurity evolution.
Bottom Line?
archTIS’ renewed licenses and financial backing set the stage for a potential surge in U.S. defense contracts amid rising cybersecurity demands.
Questions in the middle?
- How quickly will the enterprise license agreement scale beyond the initial 1,000-user deployment?
- What impact will the custom software enhancements have on broader DoD adoption of NC Protect?
- How effectively will archTIS leverage the $8 million debt facility to accelerate Spirion integration and U.S. market growth?
