Cybersecurity Services for GDT

H.I.G. Capital completed a growth investment in GDT during the second half of 2021, and the Dallas company has been expanding outward ever since. Founded in 1996, it bought Integrated Archive Systems in 2020 and MDS Global IT in 2024, the second deal adding an international collaboration and contact center practice. GDT also runs its own technology center in Bengaluru and holds more than 450 vendor certifications, Cisco Gold Integrator and Cisco Gold Provider among them. ISO 27001:2022, SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II attestations sit underneath the whole operation

Sponsor ownership keeps the acquisition clock running, and every deal brings in another delivery organization with its own habits. Bengaluru answers cost and follow the sun coverage. It does not answer an onsite security engagement in Toronto, and it will never answer a Quebec department that accepts work only in French. The certification stack creates a separate exposure. Five Cisco Master Specializations are a public promise about who shows up, and the customer buying against that promise expects the badge to be worth something on the day. Growth assembled from acquisitions strains a promise like that before it strengthens it, because the newest teams are the least familiar with how the parent delivers

CWS is how that promise gets kept while integration work carries on. We staff engagements under the GDT brand, to one delivery standard, across the United States and Canada, with French speaking engineers where Quebec or Canadian federal work requires them. Scoping, quoting and project tracking live in Corova, so a team acquired last year and a team that has been in the building for a decade produce the same project record
