Austin, TX – August 13, 2015 — CynergisTek™, an authority in health information security and privacy, today announced that Inc.

“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.

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.
