NC Encrypt
Persistent encryption that travels with your data. Everywhere.
Archtis NC Encrypt provides persistent, end-to-end encryption for files and communications that follows the data wherever it travels — inside and outside your organisation — ensuring that sensitive information remains protected regardless of where it is stored, shared, or forwarded, and can only be accessed by authorised parties under defined conditions.

Product Overview
NC Encrypt
The fundamental weakness of perimeter-based data security is that it provides no protection once data leaves the trusted boundary. Email attachments forwarded to personal accounts, files shared with external contractors, documents downloaded from SharePoint to unmanaged devices — each of these is a moment where conventional security controls lose custody of the data, leaving it unprotected on systems the organisation neither owns nor manages. Archtis NC Encrypt addresses this by applying persistent encryption at the point of creation, ensuring that the protection travels with the data rather than relying on the security posture of the environment where the data resides.
NC Encrypt integrates natively with Microsoft 365 and major file collaboration platforms to apply transparent, standards-based encryption to sensitive files automatically, based on content classification and sensitivity labelling. Users experience the encryption as invisible — files open and save normally in authorised applications, with the encryption and key management processes handled entirely in the background. When files are shared externally or accessed from unmanaged devices, NC Encrypt enforces access controls at the key management layer, ensuring that recipients without the appropriate credentials and authorisation cannot decrypt the content even if they have physical possession of the file.
For organisations operating in environments where data regularly crosses organisational and jurisdictional boundaries — joint ventures, regulatory submissions, cross-border financial transactions, government contractor relationships — NC Encrypt provides the data sovereignty that conventional cloud storage and email security cannot. Encryption keys are managed by the data owner, not by cloud providers or email vendors, ensuring that key custody remains with the organisation regardless of where the data is physically stored. This architecture directly addresses the data residency concerns that African enterprises face when deploying cloud services subject to foreign jurisdiction.
Key Benefits
- 01
Protect sensitive data beyond your perimeter with persistent encryption that travels with files regardless of where they are stored or shared.
- 02
Maintain data sovereignty and key custody within your organisation, ensuring that cloud providers and third parties cannot access your encrypted content.
- 03
Instantly revoke file access across all recipient devices and locations — containing data exposure from accidental sharing or compromised accounts within seconds.
Core Capabilities
What NC Encrypt Does
Persistent File Encryption
Apply standards-based AES-256 encryption to files at the point of creation, with protection that remains active regardless of where the file travels or is stored.
Owner-Controlled Key Management
Maintain complete key custody within your organisation, ensuring that cloud providers, email vendors, and third parties cannot access your encrypted data.
Encrypted Email & Attachments
Automatically encrypt sensitive email messages and attachments based on content classification, ensuring protection during transit and at rest in recipient mailboxes.
Conditional Access Decryption
Enforce identity verification, device posture checks, and location-based conditions before decryption keys are released, preventing access from untrusted environments.
Cross-Organisation Sharing
Enable secure file sharing with external partners and contractors with full access control and auditability, without requiring recipients to install additional software.
Remote Access Revocation
Revoke access to any encrypted file at any time, rendering it unreadable even on systems where it has already been downloaded — critical for termination and breach scenarios.
Real-World Applications
Industry Use Cases
See how organisations across sectors are deploying NC Encrypt to solve their most critical security challenges.
Legal & Compliance
A law firm uses NC Encrypt to automatically encrypt all documents classified as client-privileged, ensuring that accidental sharing via email or cloud links cannot result in privilege waiver — with remote revocation available if a document is sent to the wrong party.
Government Contracting
A government contractor applies NC Encrypt to all files containing classified or sensitive government information, maintaining data sovereignty and ensuring that encrypted files shared with sub-contractors cannot be accessed without the primary contractor's authorisation.
Financial Services
An investment bank uses NC Encrypt for all merger and acquisition due diligence documentation, ensuring that sensitive deal materials remain encrypted even when shared with external advisors, with access automatically revoked when the deal closes or counterparty relationship ends.
Pharmaceutical & Research
A pharmaceutical research organisation encrypts all clinical trial data and research IP, ensuring that data remains protected when shared with overseas research partners and that access can be instantly revoked if a collaboration agreement terminates.
