Secure SaaS platform Capitalizes on Rapid Adoption of its Offering
Tehama, the leading cloud-based SaaS platform for secure remote work, announced its spin-out from Pythian. The move comes in response to a surge in demand for Tehama’s solution: secure and compliant virtual rooms, in which a global workforce, including freelancers and third-party service providers can be welcomed and become immediately productive. Tehama rooms contain virtual desktops and enable rapid onboarding, scaling, managing, and auditing of work, resulting in dramatically reduced third-party risks of data loss and non-compliance.

Tehama launched in September 2018 as a business unit of Pythian, a global IT services company based in Ottawa. , Tehama’s secure SOC 2 Type II compliant SaaS platform supports hundreds of enterprises and a growing number of managed service providers (MSPs). With Tehama, global enterprises can onboard, manage, scale, secure, and audit employees, freelancers, and service providers through secure and auditable perimeters that act like airlocks for confidential data and intellectual property.
In a statement, Paul Vallée, founder and CEO of Tehama remarked that digital enterprise has evolved to a place where Tehama’s offering is now widely recognized as necessary. “We’re now in a position to grow even faster as a separate entity from Pythian,” he said. Vallée points to changes in the global skills market and growing concern over cyber threats as the source of Tehama’s success. “More and more businesses are turning to freelancers, outsourcers, managed service providers and global talent markets for services and capabilities. That’s going to continue as demand for remote service delivery spikes over the next two decades. These businesses need a way to securely draw on the global workforce and stay in full regulatory compliance. That’s why we built Tehama.”
