TURNIUM TECHNOLOGY GROUP ANNOUNCES A CONTRACT RENEWAL WITH INSTYLE CONTRACT TEXTILES PTY LTD

Instyle Contract Textiles Pty. Ltd. has renewed its long-standing partnership with Claratti Pty. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Turnium Technology Group Inc. The renewed two-year agreement is valued at $280,000 (Australian), highlighting the trusted relationship between the two companies and reinforcing Claratti's position as a leader in cybersecurity solutions.

This agreement builds upon a relationship that began in 2007, when Instyle first purchased a DVD drive from Commulynx Pty. Ltd. (acquired and wholly owned by Claratti on July 1, 2020). Since that initial purchase, the partnership has evolved, with the value growing from ad hoc "we will call you when needed" support to a comprehensive 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-weekm, 365-day-a-year service agreement. Claratti now delivers complete technology solutions, including communications, IT (information technology) support, hardware, Internet, voice, and, with this renewal, enhanced cybersecurity across all Instyle's locations in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The decision to strengthen the partnership comes amid growing cybersecurity concerns within the commercial interior textiles industry, where intellectual property theft has increased by 37 per cent in the past year, according to the Australian Cyber Security Centre.

"Our relationship with Claratti has evolved since our first purchase of a DVD drive in 2007," said Michael Fitzsimons, founder and chief executive officer of Instyle Contract Textiles. "What began as occasional, as-needed support has transformed into a critical 24x7x365 service partnership now renewed at $280,000 (Australian). Today, they manage all aspects of our technology infrastructure -- from communications and IT support to hardware, Internet and voice services. Now, we've once again turned to their expertise to address our critical cybersecurity needs. As a leader in commercial interior finishes with clients ranging from major corporations to government buildings, ensuring the security of our digital infrastructure is paramount to maintaining the trust of our partners and customers."

Under the renewed agreement, Claratti will provide a turnkey cybersecurity offering to Instyle, beginning with a comprehensive environmental hardware and software assessment completed in February, 2025. The initial assessment identified aging hardware infrastructure and the need for robust data loss prevention (DLP) solutions designed to protect Instyle's valuable intellectual property, including proprietary textile designs and manufacturing processes. Implementation began in early March, with the full security suite expected to be operational across all locations by April, 2025.

The immediate impact of the solution was evident, with Claratti's security operations centre (SOC) detecting, isolating and remediating several security breaches within seconds of enabling the cybersecurity platform. These included multiple attempted ransomware infiltrations and several unauthorized access attempts targeting design files.

"The textile industry has become an increasingly attractive target for cybercriminals seeking valuable intellectual property," said Luke Scerri, chief information security officer at Claratti. "Within moments of activating our security monitoring tools at Instyle, we identified and neutralized multiple threats that had bypassed their existing protections. Our SOC-2 compliant security operations centre provides 24/7 monitoring specifically calibrated for manufacturing environments where proprietary designs represent significant competitive advantages."

"We are honoured to continue our relationship with Instyle Contract Textiles, which began with a single DVD drive purchase in 2007 and has evolved into providing their complete technology ecosystem," said Doug Childress, global chief executive officer of Turnium Technology Group. "Today, we deliver all of their communications, IT support, hardware, Internet and Voice services, with cybersecurity being the latest addition to our comprehensive offerings. The immediate results from our cybersecurity implementation demonstrate the critical nature of these services in today's digital landscape. Our end-to-end technology solutions ensure Instyle can focus on their core business while we manage their entire digital infrastructure."

The partnership includes a comprehensive security awareness training program for all Instyle staff, addressing the human element of cybersecurity, which accounts for over 85 per cent of security breaches according to industry research. Following the initial implementation, Claratti and Instyle will collaborate on a phased approach to further enhance security posture, with quarterly assessments and technology refreshes scheduled throughout the agreement term.

This enhanced security infrastructure will provide Instyle's customers -- which include major hospitality chains, health care facilities and government institutions -- with additional confidence that their project specifications, custom designs and proprietary information remain protected. For Instyle's clients working on government and defence contracts, the upgraded security protocols ensure compliance with increasingly stringent data protection requirements.

As textile manufacturing continues to digitize with smart fabrics and IoT-connected (Internet of Things) products, this partnership positions Instyle to securely innovate while protecting its valuable intellectual assets. By addressing its cybersecurity concerns through this strategic partnership with Claratti, Instyle ensures its operations across Australia and international markets remain secure and resilient against the rapidly evolving threat landscape.
