Nucleus Cyber

What Nucleus Cyber does

Nucleus Cyber, previously known as Nucleus Cyber and now operating under the archTIS brand (ASX: AR9), provides data-centric information security software for secure collaboration and file sharing across government, defense, intelligence, critical infrastructure, research universities, and regulated enterprises. Its product portfolio centers on NC Protect, which enforces Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) policies over how information is accessed, shared, and used within Microsoft 365, SharePoint (Online and On-premises), Microsoft Teams, GCC High, Nutanix Files, NetApp ONTAP, and enterprise file shares, with NC Encrypt providing BYOK-based policy-driven file encryption. The Kojensi platform provides accredited SaaS and on-premises deployment for secure collaboration up to the TOP SECRET classification level, targeting government agencies, defense contractors, intelligence services, and multinational coalitions.

The technology stack is anchored in ABAC methodology, which evaluates file and user attributes dynamically rather than relying on static role-based controls, combined with dynamic watermarking, encryption, and audit capabilities. The 2025 acquisition of Spirion added a Sensitive Data Platform (DSPM) with AI Guardrails for enterprise data discovery and classification across on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and endpoint environments, and Trusted Data Integration provides security policy and service orchestration for sensitive structured data. Revenue is generated via quote-based subscription SaaS (Kojensi), on-premises perpetual or subscription licensing, and enterprise software subscriptions for NC Protect and Spirion, sold through direct enterprise field sales for government/defense and a hybrid product-led motion for Spirion's data discovery products, with Microsoft ecosystem integrations serving as a primary distribution channel.

Core offering

Nucleus Cyber develops and sells NC Protect, a software product that enforces Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) policies to discover, classify, and dynamically protect sensitive and regulated information across Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, file shares, Nutanix Files, and NetApp ONTAP. It also offers NC Encrypt, an encryption key management add-on with Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) support, that dynamically encrypts individual files only when policy or situation requires it. The products are sold to enterprise and government/defense customers needing ITAR, EAR, CMMC, NIST, and privacy compliance.

Product overview

Nucleus Cyber offers a portfolio of data-centric security products centered around NC Protect and Spirion DSPM. NC Protect provides data discovery, classification, and ABAC-based protection across Microsoft 365 (including SharePoint Online, Teams, GCC High), SharePoint On-premises, file shares, Nutanix Files, and NetApp ONTAP storage. NC Encrypt adds dynamic file-level encryption with BYOK key management. The Spirion acquisition (acquired by archTIS parent) expanded the offering with the Sensitive Data Platform (DSPM) for discovering sensitive data across structured and unstructured sources, with AI Guardrails for enterprise data. Trusted Data Integration provides data orchestration and security policy orchestration across multiple data resources. Together, these products enable granular, real-time control over how sensitive and classified information is accessed, used, and shared.
