Developments at Investee Company

Drumz plc (AIM:DRUM) is pleased to announce that, Acuity Risk Management Limited ('Acuity'), in which Drumz has a 25% shareholding has recently won several new customers for its STREAM™ Integrated Risk Manager ("IRM") software product which is used by private and public sector clients to manage their cyber security and other Enterprise risks. Two of these new wins and a new partnership in a consortium are described below:

A major broadcaster with global reach has adopted STREAM™ which it chose for the speed of onboarding and ability to provide a holistic, real-time view of risk, STREAM™ will help centralise this complex organisation's risk management approach and provide a tiered reporting methodology to be utilised in risk assessments for events of all sizes.

A multinational German industrial control and automation company that were looking to move beyond spreadsheets for risk management and protect their information in accordance with international best-practice led this global company to STREAM™. The product will help them establish and maintain an Information Security Management System (ISMS) certified to international standard ISO 27001, the most popular global standard for securing information assets.

The progress made demonstrates the efficacy of Drumz' strategy of delivering expertise combined with finance to fund the changes necessary to drive expansion and value enhancement.

Acuity is working with Athena, the UK's new national consortium for the space industry. Athena is a diverse and agile commercial coalition made up of Serco, Inmarsat, CGI in the UK and Lockheed Martin UK. Envisioned to grow and adapt for purpose, Athena is a principles-based alliance, with an aim of better forging relationships across the UK's space sector.

Acuity has joined the consortium as a partner, following a successful strategic partnership with CGI on several Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and Defence projects.
