GigaTrust Secures $11 Million Investment Led by Stanford Financial Group

Financing Reflects Success of High-Growth Enterprise Rights Management
Security Solution

HERNDON, Va., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- GigaTrust, the market leader
in Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) security solutions that extend
Microsoft's Windows Rights Management Services (RMS), announced today that it
has closed its $11 million Series E financing with new and existing investors.
Stanford Financial Group, the major investor in the round, joined existing
investors Atlantic Capital Group, Kirnaf Ltd., USA Fund, and GlenRock
Ventures.

The funds will be used to build on GigaTrust's high-growth U.S. operations and
global expansion into Europe, Asia and the Middle East to meet global demand
for its security products. In 2007, GigaTrust had record revenues, new
products announcements such as CAD security with the acquisition of Pinion
Software, and new customer additions, including the largest RMS deployment in
the world at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. GigaTrust also made new
partnerships with IBM and RIM.

"We are pleased to have the Stanford Financial Group join the GigaTrust team,"
said Robert Bernardi, Chairman and CEO of GigaTrust. "This new round of
funding is a testament to our role as the leader in the high-growth market of
information protection and will enable GigaTrust to broaden its global reach
while continuing to drive innovation into our suite of security products."

GigaTrust's ERM security solutions, built on Microsoft's Windows Rights
Management Services (RMS), enable anyone-to-anyone collaboration inside or
outside the enterprise. The company's email and content security software
adhere to complex regulatory compliance and corporate governance requirements
that many organizations face.
