scDataCom Named No. 2,177 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, Marking a Fifth Consecutive Year on America’s Most Prestigious List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies
Savannah-Based Physical Security Integrator Joins the Fewer Than 1% of Companies to Reach Five Consecutive Years on the List, Posting 155% Three-Year Revenue Growth
SAVANNAH, Ga. Aug. 12, 2026, — scDataCom, a leading physical security integrator, today announced it has been ranked No. 2,177 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This marks the company’s fifth consecutive year on the list — a milestone achieved by fewer than 1% of companies ever named to the Inc. 5000 — underscoring scDataCom’s ability to sustain its pace of growth even as its revenue base has grown substantially larger each year.
The Inc. 5000 is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
“Today, scDataCom was recognized on the Inc. 5000 list again, coming in at #2,177,” said Kathleen Ford, CEO and Co-Owner of scDataCom. “As I reflect on this, what strikes me most isn’t the ranking — it’s how hard it is to keep growing year after year. Every year you start from a bigger base, the challenges get more complex, and what got you here isn’t enough to get you to the next level. Growth isn’t a straight line, and it’s never easy breezy. It’s continuous risking, learning, adjusting, and trusting. Five years on the Inc. 5000 is something we’re proud of, yet a reminder that we’re still just getting started.”
A FIVE-YEAR TRACK RECORD
scDataCom’s 2026 ranking of No. 2,177 reflects 155% three-year revenue growth and continues a streak of consecutive Inc. 5000 honors:
2026 — No. 2,177 — 155% 3-Yr Growth
2025 — No. 1,020
2024 — No. 1,134
2023 — No. 4,533
2022 — No. 3,693
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs, and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. 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.”
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine. Tickets are on sale now.
