Nordic Consulting, a global health and technology consulting company, announced today that it has closed a deal to become a minority investor in Fortified Health Security. Nordic is joined by majority investors Silversmith Capital Partners and Health Velocity Capital.
Fortified is a managed security services provider (MSSP) that focuses on the healthcare industry. Nordic and Fortified entered into a strategic partnership last August in order to provide cybersecurity support and services to healthcare organizations. The deal will allow Fortified to accelerate its technology roadmap and support operational scale.
“Cybersecurity is a critical issue in the healthcare industry, and we are grateful to have Fortified’s award-winning services and support available to our clients,” said Jim Costanzo, CEO of Nordic consulting. “We have been very impressed with the work Fortified has done, especially since we announced our partnership last year, and we’re looking forward to continuing this alliance into the new year.”
Both Nordic Consulting and Fortified were recognized with KLAS awards in 2022. Nordic was named Best in KLAS for Overall IT Services, as well as in the HIT Implementation Leadership (large), Revenue Cycle Optimization, and Technical Services (via S&P Consultants) categories. Fortified was awarded Best in KLAS for Security & Privacy Management Services. The combination of these industry-leading capabilities allows Nordic consulting to offer clients security advisory services and managed cybersecurity programs uniquely focused on the healthcare industry.
“Nordic and Fortified are organizations with innovative spirits and deep commitments to our clients’ success,” said Dan L. Dodson, CEO of Fortified. “This investment will directly support our business’ growth plans, as well as how we deliver work to clients and solve their needs. We are excited to continue our partnership with Nordic in this deepened and meaningful way.”
