Vault Cloud is an Australian-owned and operated company established in 2012, specializing in secure and sovereign hyperscale cloud infrastructure tailored primarily for government, defence, and critical infrastructure sectors. The company was founded with a strong commitment to enhancing citizen services through improved government digital solutions, grounded in the founder Rupert Taylor-Price’s extensive experience with government SaaS platforms. Vault Cloud operates entirely within Australia, including its data centers, security-cleared support staff, and offices, ensuring full sovereignty and compliance with national security requirements.

Vault Cloud operates out of world-class data centers located in Sydney and Canberra that are specifically designed for sensitive workloads, featuring stringent security controls and fully-redundant optical fiber connectivity. Its cloud platform was one of the first certified by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) to manage classified data, reflecting its strong emphasis on security at its core. The company’s solutions incorporate advanced OpenStack architecture, powerful Intel processors, lightning-fast solid-state storage, and AI and machine learning accelerators, offering performance comparable to supercomputers.

Serving federal, state, and local government agencies along with sectors like law enforcement, defence, banking, health, and critical infrastructure, Vault Cloud delivers military-grade security combined with high performance. Their Secure Internet Gateway, monitored from a zone five-rated Secure Operations Centre, ensures uncompromised security for connectivity, with options to extend network security across client organizations.

Supported by a $22.5 million investment from the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation, Vault Cloud continues to expand its capabilities and develop services that meet Australia’s strategic national security and economic growth needs. The company uniquely holds the highest security certifications and maintains a Sovereign Defence Security (SDS) arrangement, establishing itself as a trusted provider for sensitive government and defense workloads. Vault Cloud supports seamless migration from on-premises to cloud environments, reducing risks and costs while meeting stringent Australian compliance standards.
