Vector Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Miwako Iwai; hereinafter "Vector HD") has entered into an agreement with V-Spirits General Research Institute Co., Ltd., the core consulting firm of the V-Spirits Group of Tax Accountants (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Hirotsugu Nakano; hereinafter "V-Spirits Group"). This partnership aims to strengthen the sales system for "Vector Sign," our cloud-based electronic contract service, and "AppGuard," a next-generation endpoint security product we handle, in order to support corporate DX promotion and cybersecurity measures. We will leverage the V-Spirits Group's network for sales activities.

In recent years, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and growing companies have been digitizing their back-office operations due to labor shortages and the need for operational efficiency. Simultaneously, the sophistication of cyberattacks has increased the importance of information security measures.

However, many companies recognize the need for DX promotion and enhanced security but face challenges in receiving adequate support for selecting and implementing suitable solutions for their specific needs.

Vector HD supports companies in improving productivity and ensuring safe business operations through "Vector Sign," which streamlines and digitizes contract processes, and "AppGuard," a next-generation endpoint security solution that prevents threats from activating even if they infiltrate.

The V-Spirits Group has a wealth of experience in a wide range of fields, including support for business startups, management, sales, and market development. Through this collaboration, we will utilize the V-Spirits Group's sales support expertise and corporate network to expand awareness of "Vector Sign" and "AppGuard" and strengthen our implementation support system. This will contribute to promoting DX, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing security measures for a greater number of companies.

About AppGuard

AppGuard is a security product that achieves endpoint fortification not by "preventing threats from infiltrating" but by "preventing them from operating." By constructing an environment on the OS where threats cannot operate, it prevents the occurrence and spread of damage from various threats, including unknown malware and zero-day attacks that exploit vulnerabilities. This product, provided by AppGuard Inc., boasts an installation record of over 22,000 companies (as of the end of March 2026), primarily large enterprises, and is widely used as a next-generation security solution to protect critical information assets.
