Cybersecurity Solutions Leader Recognized as one of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies in 2026

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GuidePoint Security, the cybersecurity advisor and services partner organizations rely on to protect what matters most, today announced it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc.’s annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

The Inc. 5000 recognizes the nation's most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, honoring companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs and shaping the future of the economy. GuidePoint Security ranked No. 2,375 on this year’s list, marking its eleventh consecutive year among the nation's fastest-growing private businesses.

“Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 for 11 consecutive years is no easy feat. This is a direct reflection of the exceptional team we've built and the continued trust our clients place in us,” said Scott Rachford, CEO of GuidePoint Security. “We have strong momentum, and remain focused on expanding our service offerings, investing in our people and delivering the expertise organizations need to reduce risk and operate with confidence.”

This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”

This recognition follows a record-setting first half for GuidePoint Security. Over the past year, the company has opened three new offices, including a new global headquarters; expanded its executive leadership team; and introduced new capabilities across AI governance, risk management, cloud security, incident response and identity and access management — all while maintaining double-digit growth and industry-leading customer satisfaction and retention rates.
