Austin, TX – August 13, 2015 — CynergisTek™, an authority in health information security and privacy, today announced that Inc. Magazine ranked the company No. 941 on the 34th annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. CynergisTek is ranked for the second year in a row, rising to the top 20 percent, from No. 2252 in 2014.

“We are honored to be ranked on the Inc. 5000 once again this year, and to jump over 1,300 spots is especially rewarding for our hardworking team,” said Dr. Michael Mathews, CynergisTek COO. “The prevalence of data breaches and stricter regulation in the healthcare industry has shone a spotlight on the importance of effective privacy and information security. There is a need for the outsourced support and expert guidance we provide, which is best demonstrated by our continued growth.”

CynergisTek is ranked among the top 15 companies in the security industry, and of those, is the only one completely service-based. CynergisTek’s core competencies are enhanced through strategic relationships with best-in-class partners in areas including data loss prevention, log data management and application security, to deliver trusted expert resources to all of its clients.

“The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident.”

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 21 through 23, 2015 in Orlando. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as Marcus Lemonis, host of the CNBC show “The Profit,” Robert Herjavec, one of the main “sharks” on ABC-TV’s “Shark Tank,” KIND Founder and CEO Daniel Lubetzky, and Co-Founder of Goodshop.com, JJ Ramberg.
