The announcement came as the Biden administration signed a new executive order to ensure compliance with new cyber security requirements.

archTIS explained that the CSR is the NIH’s portal to review grant applications and review their scientific merit, where it then organises findings to be peer reviewed.

Kurt Mueffelmann, global chief operating officer and US president of archTIS welcomed the opportunity to help US government departments meet their cyber security capability requirements.

“We are pleased to have NIH expand their instance of NC Protect; particularly as we build out our US Federal presence. The Biden administration recently issued an executive order on “improving the nation’s cyber security” which requires federal agencies to develop a plan to implement a zero-trust security architecture,” he said.

“NC Protect helps address the requirement by extending the zero-trust methodology to data access and sharing using attribute-based access controls (ABAC) to more effectively secure sensitive information in Microsoft applications.”

The confirmation comes as Cirrus Networks and archTIS announced a partnership to resell archTIS’ ABAC information security solutions to customers nationwide.
