This move is in line with the business' objectives to meet their customers' stringent data security and compliance needs, whilst adhering to defence-grade standards in Australia.

Luke Smith, Founder and COO of Secure State, expressed his enthusiasm towards the partnership, stating, "A cornerstone of Secure State's mission is to bring Defence-grade cyber solutions to Australia's Defence supply chain. By partnering with archTIS, Secure State can now offer customers archTIS leading information-centric secure collaboration platforms to address the growing requirements from the government, Department of Defence and Defence Primes to protect Australia's critically sensitive and classified information."
