Our Story

Pioneering Data Governance and Information Security

Castlepoint was founded in 2012 after its founders spent years advising Australian Federal Government and regulated industries on security, records management, and audit. Repeated reviews and inquiries revealed a consistent issue. Organisations understood their governance and compliance obligations but were constrained by technology that disrupted systems, burdened users, and introduced new risks.

The team recognised the need for a fundamentally different approach. One that could manage all types of information, across all systems and environments, without moving data or impacting daily operations. Security, compliance, discovery, and records management needed to work together, not in isolation.

This led to the creation of the Data Castle paradigm. A manage-in-place platform designed to apply regulatory, privacy, security, and retention rules invisibly, at scale. Built to meet hundreds of legal and standards-based requirements, Castlepoint was rapidly adopted by government and regulated organisations and continues to support better oversight, lower risk, and stronger governance.

Meet Our CEO:

Rachael Greaves

Rachael Greaves is the Founder and CEO of Castlepoint Systems. An auditor and records management expert by background, Rachael has spent her career working at the intersection of governance, risk, and technology within highly regulated environments.

She founded Castlepoint in response to the real-world consequences of poor information management, where failures in visibility, retention, and access have led to serious legal, financial, and human outcomes. Under her leadership, Castlepoint has developed a new paradigm for managing information in place, helping organisations regain control of rapidly growing data while meeting complex obligations.

Rachael is a strong advocate for practical, human-centred RegTech, and believes that effective information governance is critical not only to compliance, but to protecting lives, livelihoods, and public trust.
