Rupert Taylor-Price and the cloud that had to stay home
Before sovereign cloud became a national talking point, Rupert Taylor-Price was building software for government. His next venture, Vault Cloud, turned a question about who controls Australian data into a business - and a sustained argument about who gets to build the country’s digital future.
The Company That Knows Which Door Opens Next
Bondi Partners sells something more useful than access: a map of who matters, what changes next, and how an ambitious company turns policy into a contract.
Vault Cloud
Vault Cloud is a 100% Australian-owned and operated hyperscale cloud provider built exclusively for security. Founded in 2012 by Rupert Taylor-Price, it was the first cloud certified by the Australian Signals Directorate for classified government workloads. Running on an OpenStack architecture across sovereign data centres in Sydney and Canberra, Vault serves federal and state government, defence, and critical-infrastructure customers with PROTECTED, SECRET and TOP SECRET-grade cloud services, all staffed by security-cleared personnel under Australian jurisdiction.
