About
Vault Cloud's journey began in 2012, born from a strong desire to enhance the lives of citizens through improved government services. The founder, Rupert Taylor-Price, brought with him a wealth of experience in handling sensitive data, honed during his eight-year tenure as Chief Executive Officer at JN Solutions. At JN Solutions, he was instrumental in developing a world-leading SaaS (Software as a Service) Information Management Platform specifically for the Australian Government, a platform that provided extensive support to the community services sector. This background laid the foundation for Vault Cloud's core mission: to provide a secure and sovereign cloud infrastructure tailored to the unique needs of government, defence, and critical infrastructure sectors. From its inception, Vault Cloud has been dedicated to Australian sovereignty, with its entire company, including data centres, offices, and security-cleared support staff, located entirely within Australia. This commitment is even enshrined in its founding documents, guaranteeing it remains a sovereign entity. The company pioneered the development of a cloud platform with security at its very core, natively embedding Australian Government security controls. This focus on security led to Vault Cloud becoming one of the first cloud platforms to be certified by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) to manage and store classified data, a significant milestone. Operating out of world-class data centres in Sydney and Canberra, Vault Cloud offers a comprehensive suite of cloud computing capabilities. These facilities are specifically designed for sensitive data and workloads, featuring robust operating controls and fully-redundant optical fibre connectivity for rapid response times. The company's offerings have expanded over the years, driven by a commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving security needs of its clients. This includes the development of services like 'SECRET Cloud' and exploring AI-enhanced security features. Recent investments, such as the $22.5 million from the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC), are set to further boost Vault Cloud's capabilities, allowing it to expand its offerings and develop new services to meet Australia's strategic national security demands and contribute to the nation's economic growth.
