HERNDON, Va., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Boldon James, a leading provider of COTS secure information exchange solutions, has joined Transglobal Secure Collaboration Program (TSCP) in the silver membership category. Boldon James is the latest to recognize the role TSCP plays in developing and deploying secure information sharing solutions in highly sensitive environments and commit to contributing to the integration and adoption of TSCP standards.

Boldon James, a wholly owned subsidiary of QinetiQ, brings more than 20 years of experience to TSCP. Serving defence and government agencies worldwide, the company expects to gain greater control over product development costs and accelerate time to market by meeting customer needs as they evolve.

"We've built our business by focusing on each customer's unique and rigorous information security needs," said Martin Sugden, CEO of U.K.-based Boldon James. "TSCP's mission to address the most critical issues in cyber security for its global network of government agencies, aerospace & defence (A&D) companies and software vendors fits perfectly with our own.
