Stonewood Group Wins Place on the Sunday Times Tech Track 100

Leading hardware encryption solutions provider, the Stonewood Group, has been named for the first time as one of Britain’s most successful technology businesses in the 2009 Sunday Times Tech Track 100. The Tech Track 100 ranks Britain’s fastest-growing private technology companies.

According to the report, the Stonewood Group was the 77 fastest-growing UK technology company, based on an annual sales growth of 46.46 per cent. Headquartered in Dorset, UK, the Stonewood Group expanded into Canada earlier this year following the successful introduction of its Government approved encrypted hardware to the Canadian market. The company boasts an enviable client list including local and national Governments, police forces across the country, NATO and the Ministry of Defence.

Chris McIntosh, Stonewood Group CEO said: “This is a fantastic achievement and a testament the unparalleled quality of our encryption solutions as well as the hard work of everyone at the Stonewood Group. We plan to build on our success still further in 2010 and will continue to lead this market in growth and innovation.”

Stonewood Eclypt Range of hardware encryption products were recently approved by the British Government for up to Top Secret information, making high level data security available to businesses and consumers alike. The Eclypt range, which includes internal and external drives, received Her Majesty’s Government CAPS (CESG-Approved Product Scheme) accreditation making Stonewood’s Eclypt range the only CAPS approved USB storage device and the only devices available that reduce the protective marking of data at rest by two levels from Top Secret to Confidential and Secret to Restricted.

Now in its ninth year, The Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100 annual league table is compiled by Oxford-based research and networking events company Fast Track. For further information on the Times Tech Track 100, please go to: www.fasttrack.co.uk
