Highlights

  • archTIS and Pexip announced a collaboration to integrate attribute-based controls into secure video meetings.
  • The joint design is intended to check security clearance and nationality rules for meeting participants.
  • archTIS completed FIPS 140-3 validation for its cryptographic module in September 2026.
  • Spirion Sensitive Data Platform added recognition for its AI Guardrails approach to data security.

archTIS (ASX:AR9) has paired its Trusted Data Integration technology with Pexip Secure Meetings to address clearance-based video access in defence and government settings.

Secure Meetings Move Beyond Passwords

The 14 October 2026 Partnership brings together archTIS Trusted Data Integration, or TDI, and Pexip Secure Meetings. The companies intend to use attribute-based access control to govern who can participate in a sensitive meeting. Under the described design, nationality and security-clearance rules can be assessed when admitting participants, with controls also available during a call. The work targets defence, intelligence and regulated government environments where permission to access information may differ among participants.

Validation Strengthens Security Credentials

In September, archTIS completed FIPS 140-3 validation for its cryptographic module. The validation addresses cryptographic standards relevant to government and regulated procurement. It is separate from the Pexip integration but relates to the company's broader emphasis on protecting sensitive information. archTIS also offers NC Protect for Microsoft 365 and products within the Spirion portfolio, covering data-centric protection, classification and identification of sensitive information. Its approach centres on applying access rules to the information rather than relying solely on network boundaries.

A clearance-based meeting service differs from a conventional password-protected call. The access decision is based on attributes relevant to a participant, and those attributes can be checked against security policy. That approach is consistent with archTIS products intended to protect documents and data in collaboration environments. It also means the Pexip work involves integrating two existing areas of functionality: meeting infrastructure and policy-driven controls. The companies have described the planned capability, but have not disclosed a customer deployment count or sales value for this integration.

Spirion Adds AI Data Controls

The company's Spirion Sensitive Data Platform AI Guardrails solution was named Data Security Innovation of the Year in the October 2026 Cybersecurity Breakthrough awards. That technology focuses on scanning and remediation so sensitive material can be governed before it is used with large language models. archTIS presents data discovery and policy enforcement as complementary security functions. The recognition is an award rather than a contract or financial result, and it does not establish deployment volumes or commercial revenue.

Next Steps in Defence Collaboration

The Pexip work remains an integration and joint-offering initiative. Its commercial contribution will depend on subsequent implementation and customer uptake, neither of which was quantified in the October announcement. archTIS continues positioning its tools for sensitive collaboration across government and regulated enterprises. The proposed clearance-based video controls extend an existing product approach into another mode of communication without changing the need for organisations to define and manage their own access policies.
