American Marconi Wireless News - Sekur Private Data Reports 25% Month-Over-Month Increase in Average Revenue Per User as Premium Pivot Takes Hold

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2026 / Sekur Private Data, Inc., a Miami-based leading Swiss-hosted cybersecurity, private communications, and defense communications company serving enterprise, government, and defense clients, and wholly owned U.S.-based subsidiary of Sekur Private Data (OTCQB:SWISF)(CSE:SKUR)(FRA:GDT0) ("Sekur" or the "Company"), today announced that its Average Revenue Per User ("ARPU") increased 25% month-over-month, driven by the Company's deliberate strategy of replacing low-priced legacy subscribers with premium users paying US$50/month for its Privacy Email solution and US$75/month for its Operational Email solution for businesses.

The increase is the direct result of a strategic repositioning the Company began 12 months ago: moving Sekur away from the price-driven consumer privacy market and focusing its products, pricing, and sales effort on high-net-worth individuals (HNWI), board members and C-level executives, and government, defense, and federal agencies - client segments that buy on security assurance rather than price, and that carry materially higher revenue per user, longer retention, and larger seat expansion potential.

A Deliberate Premium Pivot - and Evidence That It Is Working

Sekur's strategy is straightforward: fewer users, dramatically higher value per user. Legacy subscribers acquired under the Company's earlier consumer pricing are being systematically replaced by premium clients paying approximately 10X more for the same underlying Swiss-hosted, proprietary encryption infrastructure, with added features and storage. Every replacement compounds the effect on ARPU, gross margin, and revenue quality.

Key indicators of the pivot:

• Institutional distribution: sales through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule, approved distributors, and global telecommunications partners give the Company direct access to the government and defense buyers this strategy is built around.

"Twelve months ago, we made a deliberate decision to stop competing on price in the consumer privacy market and to build instead for the clients who need us most - high-net-worth individuals, board members, C-suite executives, and government and defense agencies," said Alain Ghiai, Founder and CEO of Sekur Private Data. "That decision is now showing up in our numbers. Every legacy user we replace is worth roughly ten times more to the Company, and ARPU has risen 25% month-over-month as a result. This is not a one-off - it is the mechanical outcome of a strategy we have been executing quarter after quarter, and we expect ARPU to keep moving up as the mix continues to shift."

SekurOne: The Next Step Up in ARPU

The Company plans to release the full SekurOne platform on time or slightly ahead of schedule, before September 30, 2026, enabling it to begin sales sooner than expected. At US$300 per month, SekurOne represents the Company's highest-value subscription to date - six times the price of Privacy Email and four times the price of Operational Email - and is expected to be the principal driver of ARPU growth from the fourth quarter onward.

SekurOne bundles fully encrypted voice and video, email, messaging, and VPN into a single identity-protected platform engineered on the Company's proprietary HeliX data transfer architecture, purpose-built to defeat telecom network tracing, resist Pegasus-style malware intrusion, and support Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling requirements - the exact requirement set of the defense, federal, and executive buyers the Company is now targeting.

A Clear and Measurable Path to Full Profitability

The premium strategy also fundamentally changes what profitability requires. Because SekurOne carries a US$300 monthly subscription price, the Company expects to become fully profitable upon reaching 200 SekurOne users, generating approximately US$60,000 per month in recurring revenue. Under the Company's earlier consumer pricing model, an equivalent revenue level would have required thousands of subscribers and a proportionally larger support and acquisition cost base.

"Our path to profitability is now clear, simple, and measurable," added Mr. Ghiai. "The Company becomes fully profitable once it reaches sales of 200 SekurOne users generating US$60,000 per month. That is 200 users - not 200,000. In the government, defense, and executive markets we are now selling into, where a single agency or corporate mandate can represent dozens of seats, we believe that is an achievable and near-term target, and it is the number our entire organization is focused on."
