What Cryptoloc Technology Group does

Cryptoloc Technology Group is an Australian cybersecurity company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Brisbane. The company builds data security solutions on a patented three-key multilayer encryption technology that combines three distinct encryption algorithms, with files encrypted on the user's PC before transfer and the unencrypted file never leaving the local network. Its product portfolio comprises three offerings: Cryptoloc Cloud, an Electronic Data Management System for secure file storage, sharing, and legally binding digital signatures with ransomware recovery and full version history; Cryptoloc Backup, a cloud-based backup service with automatic encryption and ransomware recovery; and Cryptoloc Secure2Client, an API-based managed file transfer and digital signature solution available as an AWS API or custom integration.

The company generates revenue primarily through recurring subscriptions priced at $10–18 per month for Cryptoloc Cloud, $45–85 per month for Secure2Client, and terabyte-tier pricing for Cryptoloc Backup. Distribution follows a product-led growth and API-first model, with a self-serve web portal supplemented by native integrations with Microsoft Outlook, Salesforce, and AWS that target enterprise customers via embedded delivery. Cryptoloc targets three customer segments — individuals, small to medium businesses, and enterprise/government institutions — across a horizontal go-to-market approach, maintaining offices in Australia, Japan, the United States, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The company holds ISO 27001:2013 certification and was recognized by Forbes as one of the "20 Best Cybersecurity Companies to Watch in 2020"; named customers include RIOT Solutions and MIA Contract Lawyers.

Leadership consists of CEO Melissa Crossman, Executive Chairman and Founder Jamie Wilson, Chief Commercial Officer Jonathan Elsley, and Chief Operating Officer Craig Mills. The company operates as a private entity with no disclosed revenue, two recorded funding rounds with $0 reported amounts, and headcount in the 51–100 range.
