archTIS Ltd (ASX:AR9, OTCQB:ARHLF) has secured a A$3.2 million contract with the Australian Department of Defence, renewing licensing for its Kojensi Enterprise platform and adding significant application development and maintenance services.
The award, made under archTIS’ existing ICT Provider Arrangement Deed of Standing Offer with Defence, includes A$1.0 million in annual recurring software licences and A$2.2 million in application development and maintenance services.
Kojensi Enterprise is archTIS’ secure collaboration platform for handling sensitive and classified information.
Defence renews Kojensi licence
The 12-month contract begins on July 1, 2026, and continues Defence’s use of Kojensi Enterprise, which is deployed on-premises across Defence’s sensitive information collaboration environment.
Defence also has the option to extend the contract by up to two further 12-month periods, at its discretion, while the agreement may be terminated for convenience in line with prior Defence awards.
The contract cements archTIS's position as the incumbent provider of policy-enforced information security software inside Defence’s classified ICT environment, with potential for future licensing growth.
Managing director and CEO Daniel Lai said the award reflected Defence’s commitment to Kojensi and archTIS.
“This win is a commitment from the Australian Department of Defence to invest in Kojensi and archTIS,” Lai said. “Defence has not only renewed Kojensi Enterprise, but they are investing to expand Kojensi.”
Lai added the award built on archTIS’ long-standing relationship with Defence and supported the company’s annual recurring revenue growth strategy.
Secure collaboration platform
Kojensi is designed to support secure access, sharing and collaboration of sensitive and classified information in high-security ICT environments. archTIS said the latest award highlighted the platform’s value as a government-certified solution for secure information sharing.
archTIS provides data-centric security solutions for government, defence, enterprise and regulated industries, with products spanning policy-enforced zero trust, attribute-based access controls and data protection across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments.
The company will continue investing in Kojensi to meet the evolving information security needs of Defence and allied government agencies, positioning the platform for growth in user numbers and deployment sites.
Military contracts
In May, the company's NC Protect platform passed the final internal production testing phase with the US Department of Defense (DoD), marking a major step towards potential deployment in high-assurance military environments.
The company also secured a contract with a US and European-based military alliance for its NC Protect platform. The initial award covers more than 2,500 users and is valued at about A$416,000 for the remainder of CY2026, with total potential contract value of about A$1.22 million including extension options.
Progress was also made across the Spirion platform, with archTIS securing a new sale worth about A$145,000 within a 60-day sales cycle to a global IT provider operating across advanced computing, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and immersive digital platforms.
Meanwhile, NC Protect is being integrated with Mindbreeze InSpire for an existing global manufacturing customer, enabling attribute-based access controls within AI-powered enterprise search and knowledge management workflows.
