Consensus Cloud Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCSI), a leading provider of digital cloud fax and interoperability solutions and the parent company of eFax®, has been named a 2026 CSO Award Winner.

This marks the second time the company has received this prestigious honor, following its previous win in 2024. The CSO Awards honor organizations that implement innovative cybersecurity initiatives, such as those related to AI compliance and enterprise risk accountability. These projects are recognized for delivering substantial business value and quantifiable results.

“This year’s award winners show how security teams have repositioned themselves as strategic business enablers,” said Beth Kormanik, Content Director of the CSO Cybersecurity Awards & Conference. “They tackle business challenges by leveraging new technology and ideas and delivering detailed planning and strong execution. Their organizations are stronger for these efforts that protect revenue continuity, improve resilience, and strengthen compliance. We congratulate them and look forward to celebrating them at the CSO Cybersecurity Awards & Conference.”

Dustin Fritz, Chief Information Security Officer at Consensus, added, “For organizations in highly regulated industries like healthcare and the public sector, trust is the ultimate currency. This CSO Award, paired with our recent FedRAMP® High and HITRUST r2 milestones, reflects our uncompromising approach to enterprise risk management. We don't just secure data; we build resilient environments that allow our customers to operate, innovate, and share critical information with absolute confidence.”

This award serves as the most recent testament to Consensus’ goal of delivering secure and reliable cloud solutions, as further demonstrated by these recent achievements:

• HITRUST Certification: The company’s cloud fax and electronic signature solutions, eFax Corporate® and jSign®, re-earned certified status at the most-stringent r2 level.
