Acuity RM Group (AIM:ACRM), the AIM-listed software group focused on the cybersecurity segment of the governance, risk and compliance market, has secured a further contract from the same prime defence contractor that placed an order on 11 August.
The new deal covers three additional on-premises instances of the Group's STREAM® Classic platform, generating annual recurring revenue in excess of £160,000. That takes the contractor's total holding to five STREAM® instances, all on a subscription basis.
The customer is the first prime contractor to buy STREAM® in connection with a significant international defence programme that spans multiple prime contractors across several participating nations, each facing comparable security, risk and compliance obligations.
Acuity said it has visibility of a "significant pipeline" of related opportunities tied to the programme, though the confidential and complex nature of the work means timing and scale cannot be forecast precisely.
Chief executive David Rajakovich said the platform's configurability underpins repeat business.
"STREAM® is set up to follow the customer's own risk process rather than requiring them to adopt ours," he said, adding that this adaptability is why the same platform serves defence primes, government departments and commercial clients across different methodologies and reporting requirements.
The board believes the programme's structure, with multiple contractors and nations subject to similar compliance demands, could support further STREAM® deployments beyond this customer.
News Intelligence what this means for the company
Acuity RM has secured a second defence contract within a month from the same prime contractor, expanding STREAM® deployment from two to five instances and adding over £160,000 in annual recurring revenue. The deal signals both customer stickiness and a broader pipeline opportunity: the contractor is the first prime to adopt STREAM® for a multinational defence programme spanning multiple nations and contractors with aligned compliance obligations, positioning Acuity to pursue similar deployments across that ecosystem.
Back-to-back defence wins in August and September demonstrate STREAM®'s traction in a high-value, regulated segment where the platform's configurability—adapting to customer risk processes rather than imposing Acuity's own—drives repeat expansion. The visibility of a 'significant pipeline' tied to the multi-nation programme structure offers material upside, though timing and scale remain opaque due to the confidential nature of defence work.
