DISA Global Solutions, a frontrunner in the realm of employee screening and compliance services, announced its recent acquisition of CastleBranch Inc.’s screening and compliance services. The transaction, effective from March 1, 2024, signifies a notable expansion of DISA’s capabilities and consolidates its leadership position within the compliance management and background screening industry. This acquisition highlights DISA’s ongoing commitment to diversification and enhancement of its service portfolio, especially within the critical sectors of healthcare and academia.

Established in 1997, CastleBranch has carved out a niche for itself as a leading provider of compliance management and background screening services. Its focus has predominantly been on fostering the success of students, faculty, and healthcare professionals nationwide. CastleBranch’s recognition for offering bespoke solutions that cater to the unique demands of higher education institutions and healthcare providers will now augment DISA Global Solutions’ suite of services. The integration of CastleBranch’s screening solutions into DISA’s offerings is anticipated to significantly broaden DISA’s operational capabilities and service range.

John Peterson, CEO of DISA Global Solutions, remarked on the acquisition, expressing his optimism about the merger’s potential to create a more comprehensive service model. “This addition to the DISA family will be a significant milestone in our history. CastleBranch’s reputation for excellence, client-focused solutions, and impressive market presence in the academic and healthcare sectors complement DISA’s strengths and expand our ability to serve a broader clientele. Our combined expertise will deliver unparalleled service quality and innovative solutions to our clients.”

Echoing Peterson’s sentiments, Brett Martin, Founder and CEO of CastleBranch, Inc., shared his views on the acquisition’s alignment with both companies’ core values and objectives. “The sale of our screening and compliance services to DISA represents the ideal convergence of values, vision, and purpose. Our shared commitment to excellence and aligned vision promises to significantly build upon nearly a quarter century of dedication to the industry and our clients. We believe the business is in great hands as it continues its growth trajectory as part of DISA.”

To facilitate a seamless transition and integration, DISA plans to uphold CastleBranch’s operational standards and office presence, maintaining the high level of client service and support CastleBranch is known for. Furthermore, DISA intends to invest substantially in technology, security, and the customer experience to enhance service delivery and efficiency.

While the screening and compliance services segment of CastleBranch Inc. transitions to DISA, CastleBranch’s clinical experience platform, CB Bridges, will continue to operate independently under a new brand, Bridges EXP.

This strategic acquisition by DISA Global Solutions not only fortifies its position in the compliance and background screening industry but also underscores its dedication to fostering innovation, operational excellence, and financial inclusion across the healthcare and academic sectors.
