US cyber security company Spirion has been acquired by archTIS, a global provider of data-centric software solutions for the secure collaboration of sensitive information. The acquisition positions archTIS, an Australian sovereign developer of technology, as a global leader in the rapidly growing market for data-centric security and zero trust architecture. By merging Spirion’s vast expertise in data discovery and classification, a vital component for maintaining data integrity and compliance, with archTIS’ award-winning attribute-based access control (ABAC) technologies, the combined entity is poised to offer comprehensive solutions that effectively manage and secure sensitive information.
With the acquisition complete, archTIS gains direct access to Spirion’s portfolio of over 150 customers across various industries, including enterprise customers in healthcare, financial services, government, and education, predominantly in North America. Spirion’s U.S.-based team of 38 employees, including experienced executives and technologists, has joined the archTIS team, significantly expanding its presence in the U.S. and domain expertise in data protection.
Daniel Lai, CEO and Managing Director of archTIS, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Spirion and its customers into the archTIS family. This marks a new chapter in our growth story — one that enhances our technical capabilities, expands our vertical market presence, and solidifies our position in the critical U.S. market. The integration of Spirion’s data discovery platform with our secure collaboration and access control technologies creates one of the most comprehensive zero trust data security portfolios available today.”
Spirion’s Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) offerings are highly complementary to archTIS’ Data Access Governance (DAG) solutions. The foundational access control, secure collaboration, and data protection capabilities of archTIS’ products will be enriched by Spirion’s advanced data discovery, classification and remediation capabilities. The combined strengths of both product portfolios provide an end-to-end solution for managing data security and governance across any cloud and on-premises file sharing and collaboration tools, including Microsoft 365 and SharePoint on-premises environments.
Spirion CEO Kevin Coppins will assume a new leadership role as archTIS’ Executive Vice President, Commercial Enterprise Solutions and General Manager of the Americas, where he will oversee strategy and operations for the combined entity’s commercial business, targeting enterprise, education, and local government accounts. Additionally, Mr Ryan Tully, Spirion’s Chief Product Officer will assume the role for archTIS, leading the overarching vision, strategic direction, and tactical execution to successfully launch and expand the company’s products across new and established markets.
Coppins said: “Joining archTIS is a pivotal moment for our customers, employees, and the entire data-centric security market. Together, our industry-defining solutions create the enterprise data control point, the critical juncture where data-related decisions are made, policies are enforced, and workflows for data security, compliance, and usage converge.”
The new DSPM capabilities enable archTIS to offer more comprehensive, zero trust data-centric security solutions across a broader range of cloud, on-premises and hybrid enterprise tools, effectively addressing the growing security and compliance needs of heavily regulated industries, including defence, defence industrial base (DIB) and enterprise customers.
