Facility Clearance Provides Access to Defense and Intelligence Community Contracts

VirnetX Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:VHC), a global leader in secure communications and zero-trust cybersecurity solutions, today announced that on July 16, 2026, its wholly owned subsidiary, VirnetX Inc., was granted a Facility Security Clearance (FCL) by the Defense Counterintelligence Agency and Security Agency for its Utah facility.

This clearance is the culmination of a deliberate, multi-year security and compliance roadmap. VirnetX previously secured DD Form 2345 certifications (Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement) for both its Nevada and Utah facilities in September 2025, followed by a General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract in October 2025, and the launch of its iSCOUT platform in June 2026. The FCL, which enables the Company to support cleared contracts, is the next and highest rung of that ladder.

"Receiving our Facility Security Clearance is the most consequential security milestone in VirnetX's history," said Kendall Larsen, VirnetX CEO and President. "It is government confirmation that our zero-trust platforms, our people, and our facility are trusted at the highest level. We are now positioned to do work that very few companies are authorized to do, and to serve the Department of War and Intelligence Community on their most critical missions."
