Software company archTIS Limited has signed an agreement with the Australian Department of Defence to conduct a proof of concept to assist with modernising their workplace environment.
The contract, which has a total value of $4.06 million, includes software licenses and services to conduct the proof of concept (PoC).
archTIS will deploy NC Protect, Microsoft and third-party software products to evaluate their productivity, compliance and security gains for the Defence office environment and its users.
Defence is an existing NC Protect client, with the contract to provide a new opportunity to demonstrate the product’s utility across a broader use case in Defence, archTIS says.
archTIS’ NC Protect dynamically secures sensitive information by applying zero trust enforcement policies and data-centric access controls across Microsoft 365, SharePoint on premises and file share environments.
“This contract is an important step for Defence to evaluate the productivity gains," Daniel Lai, archTIS Managing Director, said. "We believe that NC Protect can contribute to the way the department works on and secures information in a modern workplace environment.
"The need to increase productivity, security and speed across Defence has been identified in the newly released Defence Strategic Review, this initiative is a small but important part of that cultural change.”
The PoC will commence immediately and is expected to be completed by the end of the 2023 calendar year.
