Securing today, forging the defence of tomorrow: Through digital mastery.

In a time where resilience is non-discretionary, we empower the Armed Forces and Defence Ministries to maintain operational advantage through data-led transformation.

An area undergoing digital change

The Nortal Factor

Our experience building the world’s first digital government has established a scalable digital transformation and resilience model. This, coupled with our extensive catalogue of best practices across both public and private sectors, positions us uniquely in Europe, NATO, and globally.

We can amplify existing digital, defensive cyber, and resilience practices within defence to build capacity and protect the supply chain, industry partners, and broader national security. This is not just an episodic national endeavour but a global necessity – the crises we face are international in scope, demanding cross-border collaboration and partnerships.

Core capabilities

All sectors need to consider how they contribute to an existential survival crisis. A symbiotic exchange between defence and broader public and private sector knowledge is required. We can make this a reality. 

Digital Transformation

Data Exploitation

Cyber Force Protection

Resilience

In an ever-increasing threat environment, our dependency on technology and data is the ‘vital ground’ of 21st-century competition and conflicts. Nortal is uniquely positioned to translate a nation-state’s government digitisation into the defence of nations, coalitions, and alliances – harnessing R&D to deliver digital transformation, ensure resilience, and set conditions for cyber force protection.

Cyber resilience in action: Why cyber exercising is the key to surviving digital threats

Technology alone cannot make you cyber resilient – people are often the weakest link, and without proper preparation, even the most advanced defences can crumble.

Insights

We develop secure, reliable technologies to meet the ever-changing needs of defence systems.

iMUGS

As part of the integrated Modular Unmanned Ground System project, we are advancing GNSS and cyber security solutions by developing the enhanced Cyber Defence System. This platform-agnostic system detects and responds to cyber threats, including onboard attacks, network breaches, and supply chain compromises. Designed for unmanned and autonomous vehicles across ground, sea, air, and space, the system ensures robust cyber defence for both military and civilian applications, from securing supply chains to supporting industries like automotive, manufacturing, energy and mining.

ACHILE

As a named partner and core team member, we contribute to the ACHILE project by ensuring robust system security through IT and cyber security solutions. ACHILE aims to revolutionise soldier systems with an open architecture based on the GOSSRA standard, enhancing key dismounted combat capabilities, including survivability, mobility, situational awareness, and communication. The project focuses on developing soldier-level and team-level capabilities, integrating advanced robotics, networking, and weapon interactions. 

HERMES

The project “HERMES Data Exchange Platform” focuses on developing an advanced cyber security information management system to address automation challenges and enhance information sharing in cyber security. Based on Common Requirements defined by participating EU Member States, HERMES will introduce innovative technologies and demonstrate key features targeting the protection of future security and defence systems.

EC2

We are contributing to the development of a strategic European Command and Control (C2) System to satisfy the needs of a future fully operational EU headquarters. It intends to enhance and further develop the Military Planning and Conduct Capability (MPCC) of the EEAS towards a true strategic EU headquarters, covering a variety of military operations. It will be a critical enabler for operations and missions under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). It will provide the EU with a multi-domain command and control (C2) solution, enabling centralisation of all operational capabilities in a single access point.
