New data-centric security services in Japan
ArchTIS said the 12-month license agreement will support the introduction of new data-centric security services in the Japanese market. It follows the recent acquisition of Direktiv and the integration of its cybersecurity technologies into archTIS’s Trusted Data Integration platform.
The Japanese partner operates in the asset services space with global operations worth $12.50 billion and serves both government clients and the Japanese Ministry of Defense. The company said this partnership reflects growing demand in Japan for solutions to manage classified data securely, driven by its involvement in the Quad alliance and regional security considerations.
archTIS told investors the licensing deal aligns with its strategy to expand internationally by replicating its domestic success. It has already built strong revenue foundations through contracts with the Australian Department of Defence and local industrial partners.
The company also highlighted progress in other regions, with trials recently completed with a US government department and NATO in the UK. It said this reflects broader traction across global markets.
Chief Executive Officer Daniel Lai said, “This is just another example of that occurring, which is really exciting for the company.” He added that while the financial year has seen some disruptions due to election cycles, the company remains “quietly optimistic” about hitting its targets and sharing further updates before the end of June.
Lai encouraged patience, noting that engagement with complex clients like governments and intelligence agencies often requires extended timelines.
