Key Terms

annual recurring revenue, business email compromise, vpn, end-to-end encryption, +1 more

5 terms

annual recurring revenue financial

"estimated to be for a minimum of a gross annual recurring revenue ("ARR") of US$1,296,000"

Annual recurring revenue is the predictable amount of money a company expects to earn each year from ongoing customer subscriptions or contracts. It helps businesses understand how much steady income they can count on, much like a subscription service that charges customers every month or year. This figure is important because it shows the company's stability and growth potential.

business email compromise technical

"due in part to the explosion in Business Email Compromise ("BEC") attacks"

An attack where scammers trick employees, customers, or partners into sending money or sensitive information by impersonating trusted contacts, like someone forging a check or pretending to be a boss in an email. It matters to investors because successful fraud can cause direct financial losses, damage a company’s reputation and internal controls, lead to regulatory fines, and raise questions about management’s risk oversight — all of which can hurt share value.

vpn technical

"other protections against internet spying on VPN users and messaging hacks"

A VPN (virtual private network) creates a secure, private “tunnel” through the public internet that hides a device’s location and encrypts the data sent and received, like sealing a letter inside a locked envelope while it travels through the mail. For investors, VPNs matter because they reduce the risk of data breaches, support remote work and regulatory compliance, and represent a recurring-revenue market driver for companies that sell cybersecurity and networking services.

end-to-end encryption technical

"a secure chat app with end-to-end encryption, self-destructing messages"

A method of scrambling data so only the sender and the intended recipient can read it, using private keys that even the service provider cannot access. Like putting a letter into a uniquely sealed envelope that only the recipient can open, it protects passwords, financial details and business secrets as they move across networks. Investors care because it reduces the risk of data breaches and regulatory fines, supports customer trust and can materially affect a company’s legal exposure, costs and competitive value.

federal act on data protection regulatory

"Switzerland's robust Federal Act on Data Protection, in place since 1993"

A federal act on data protection is a nationwide law that sets rules for how organizations must collect, store, use and share personal information, like a rulebook for handling customers’ private data. It matters to investors because it affects a company’s costs, potential fines, legal risk and ability to operate across markets—similar to how traffic laws shape the cost and speed of driving a delivery business.

Request consists of 200 SMB bundle licenses to be delivered first, followed by 1,000 SMB and Corporate licenses during 2026, representing minimum total ARR of US$1.3 Million

VANCOUVER, BC AND MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / November 28, 2025 / Sekur Private Data (OTCQB:SWISF)(CSE:SKUR)(FRA:GDT0) (" Sekur " or the " Company "), a leading Swiss-hosted cybersecurity and private communications platform, is pleased to announce that is has received a request for proposal for the first 1,200 Sekur SMB bundle licenses in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"). This request, from a private corporation, represents the first request for the African continent.

Since its last announcement on Oct 1 ^st 2025 , the Company and its appointed Director of Business Development for Central and Southern Africa, have worked diligently and methodically to introduce Sekur's privacy communications platform in Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"), in the corporate and government sectors . These efforts are now bearing positive feedbacks and fruits.

The request for proposal for the first 1,200 Sekur SMB business bundle licenses is estimated to be for a minimum of a gross annual recurring revenue ("ARR") of US$1,296,000. The identity of the corporation shall remain confidential for security and privacy reasons. Additionally, the Company is looking at a distribution partnership with the Silikin Village , the largest technology and startup hub in the DRC, to provide Sekur solutions to its thousands of business clients. Some of the licenses could be sold as Corporate Bundle licenses, bearing gross price of US$1,500/yr, while SMB Bundles are priced at US$900/yr or US$90/month.

Sekur is expected to sell its SMB and Corporate plans due in part to the explosion in Business Email Compromise ("BEC") attacks on all big tech email and chat applications, especially since the implementation of AI inside their solutions. Sekur offers countermeasures to BEC attacks through its SekurSend proprietary feature and offers other protections against internet spying on VPN users and messaging hacks such as the latest WhatsApp or Signal hacking incidents reported in the press.

Core Corporate Communications Solutions:
None of the solution rely on Big Tech infrastructure or open-source coding, allowing for private and secure communications throughout, operable within and outside the Sekur network , bypassing traditional telecom systems and eliminating phone record hacking . None of the solutions data mine or location track users.

• SekurMail : An encrypted email service with features like SekurSend/SekurReply (for secure sending to non-Sekur users without revealing identities and content), full email delivery control, automatic data export, file transfer and more. It supports custom domains and counters phishing or Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks.

• SekurMessenger : A secure chat app with end-to-end encryption, self-destructing messages, file transfers, encrypted voice recordings, and archiving for compliance. It allows private communication even with non-Sekur users through its Chat-by-Invite via SMS or email invites. Each user received a Sekur ID for contact vetting, and there is no phone number required for account registration.

• SekurVPN : A privacy-focused VPN using military-grade encryption and proprietary HeliX technology for secure internet browsing, protecting online actions and identity without logging data.

• SekurRelay : An enterprise email add-on that "splits" a company's domain, allowing executives to use Sekur's secure features (e.g., SekurSend) without migrating the entire organization-addressing a major barrier for large-scale adoption by corporations and governments.

Sekur's platform is proprietary and hosted in Switzerland for optimal security and privacy compliance and offers a set of Communications Suite with countermeasures to these scenarios through its proprietary privacy platform for encrypted email, messaging and VPN for high value clients, such as C-level executives, government officials and global leaders. It offers multiple privacy advantages, such as no contact or data mining, no location tracking and secure and private communication within and outside of the Sekur network , offering privacy and security for both sender and recipient without divulging either phone number or identity , using its SekurSend and Chat by Invite features.

Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur stated, "We are extremely pleased to be able to provide secure and private communications to the citizens and businesses of the DRC. We have been very serious about putting efforts and resources to develop our business in the DRC and are very pleased with the positive feedback we are receiving for Sekur by both the private sector and government sector, in the DRC . We believe that based on the feedback we are getting that there is an enormous demand in the DRC for Sekur and we look forward to providing secure and private communications to that market. This is a perfect opportunity to increase Sekur's market into Africa as we are off grid, off big tech and we never data mine or location track your communications . Sekur is meant to protect against phishing, Business Email Compromise attacks, AI hacks, and chat and SMS hacks. "
