Australian Cybersecurity Duo Achieves Data Sovereignty Milestone

Sydney, Australia – November 15, 2025 – In an increasingly volatile cyber landscape, data sovereignty is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ but a critical necessity. Today, Potech, a global cybersecurity firm, and Genisys, an Australian-owned managed IT and cloud services provider, announced a significant milestone: full compliance with Australian Data Sovereignty regulations for Potech’s flagship Digital Risk Protection (DRP) and Cyberthreat Intelligence (CTI) platform, Darkivore, alongside its Tacivoar and Octivore solutions.

This achievement comes at a crucial time, as businesses and government agencies face escalating cyber threats and heightened scrutiny regarding data residency. The partnership ensures all user data remains under Australian protection and jurisdiction, addressing growing concerns about international data transfers and compliance.

Meeting a Critical Need

The demand for robust data sovereignty solutions in Australia has been steadily increasing, driven by evolving regulations and a heightened awareness of cybersecurity risks. “Organizations are recognizing that simply having data protected isn't enough,” explains a cybersecurity consultant familiar with the Australian market. “They need to know where that data resides and that it’s subject to Australian laws and oversight.”

Potech and Genisys have responded to this need by combining Potech's advanced threat intelligence capabilities with Genisys’s locally-based infrastructure and expertise. “This isn’t just about ticking a compliance box,” says Peter Srbinovski, Cloud and Information Security / Group CISO at Genisys. “It's about giving our clients peace of mind, knowing their critical data is secure and under their control.”

The Power of Partnership

The collaboration between Potech and Genisys is a key differentiator in the Australian market. Potech brings global cybersecurity expertise, while Genisys provides the local infrastructure and understanding of the Australian regulatory landscape. Both companies hold ISO 27001 certifications, demonstrating a commitment to information security management best practices.

“Partnering with Genisys was a natural choice for us,” says Bassam Khoreich, Managing Partner at Potech Australia. “Their deep expertise in managed IT and cloud services, combined with their commitment to sovereign hosting and cybersecurity, provides the perfect environment for our advanced cybersecurity products.”

This partnership offers several key benefits to Australian businesses and government agencies:

• Data Residency: All data is stored and processed within Australia, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
• Enhanced Security: Robust security measures protect data from cyber threats.
• Reduced Risk: Compliance with data sovereignty regulations minimizes legal and financial risks.
• Local Support: Australian-based support provides responsive and personalized service.

Beyond Compliance: A Holistic Approach to Cybersecurity

The achievement of data sovereignty compliance is only one piece of the puzzle. Australian organizations also need to adopt a holistic approach to cybersecurity that includes:

• Threat Intelligence: Staying informed about the latest cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
• Vulnerability Management: Identifying and addressing security weaknesses in systems and applications.
• Incident Response: Having a plan in place to respond to and recover from security incidents.
• Employee Training: Educating employees about cybersecurity best practices.

“Simply achieving compliance isn’t enough,” notes a government IT security analyst. “Organizations need to build a culture of cybersecurity and proactively manage their risks.”

Darkivore, Tacivoar and Octivore: The Core of the Solution

The Darkivore platform, at the heart of this initiative, offers a comprehensive suite of DRP and CTI capabilities, including threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management. Tacivoar provides security information and event management (SIEM), while Octivore offers advanced threat hunting capabilities. By combining these platforms with Genisys’s secure infrastructure, organizations can benefit from a layered approach to cybersecurity.

Competitive Landscape and Future Outlook

The Australian cybersecurity market is becoming increasingly competitive, with several providers offering data sovereignty solutions. Major players like IBM and Microsoft Azure also offer local data centers and compliance options. However, Potech and Genisys differentiate themselves through their specialized platforms, local partnership, and commitment to providing a comprehensive cybersecurity solution.

Looking ahead, the demand for data sovereignty solutions in Australia is expected to continue to grow. As cyber threats become more sophisticated and regulations become stricter, organizations will need to prioritize data security and compliance. The partnership between Potech and Genisys positions them well to meet this growing demand and help Australian organizations protect their critical data.

Key Takeaways:

• Potech and Genisys have achieved full compliance with Australian Data Sovereignty regulations.
• The partnership combines global cybersecurity expertise with local infrastructure and support.
• Data sovereignty is becoming increasingly important for Australian organizations.
• A holistic approach to cybersecurity is essential for protecting critical data.
