In celebration of National Data Privacy Week, Concordant, LLC, a leader in cyber, IT, acquisition, and program management solutions, has become a founding member of CyberWyoming, reflecting Concordant’s commitment to advancing cybersecurity and technology solutions for government and commercial customers.

Aligning with Data Privacy Week 2025 Theme

The announcement coincides with Data Privacy Week 2025 (January 27–31), an international effort to empower individuals and organizations to respect privacy, safeguard data, and enable trust. This year’s theme, “Take Control of Your Data,” perfectly complements both Concordant’s and CyberWyoming’s missions.

Concordant’s Wyoming Roots and Commitment to Cybersecurity

Concordant’s Director of Business Development, Keith Mueller, and CEO and President, JR Twiford, stated: “As a national Cybersecurity Services provider with Wyoming roots, we believe CyberWyoming’s goal to “reduce cyber risk for Wyoming businesses and organizations” aligns perfectly with our expertise and together we can enhance the privacy and economic well-being of all Wyomingites. As such, Concordant joins CyberWyoming ready to further grow our practice as we serve the Wyoming businesses community and educate our fellow Wyomingites on the importance of sound cybersecurity practices in business.”

Founded in 2010, Concordant provides comprehensive solutions in cybersecurity, cloud services, and acquisition support. With its Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and HUBZone certifications, Concordant is dedicated to providing quality job opportunities for people in rural and economically disadvantaged areas, which aligns well with Data Privacy Week.

“When more companies take control of their data by partnering with companies like Concordant for help, the more resilient our economy becomes,” said Laura Baker, Executive Director of CyberWyoming. Baker continued to explain that Data Privacy Week encourages citizens and businesses to get started on a data privacy path.  If businesses don’t need to collect religious preference or date of birth, then don’t collect it.  “Any data a business collects is data it needs to protect,” she said.

Supporting the Wyoming Cybersecurity Competition

As part of its founding membership, Concordant will also play an integral role in supporting key initiatives like the Wyoming Cybersecurity Competition for Small Businesses. This competition is a crucial opportunity for Wyoming businesses to access free cybersecurity resources and improve their defenses against increasing threats while taking control of their data. Through their involvement, Concordant essentially provides Wyoming businesses with scholarships to participate in the program.
