Advisory & Compliance
Assess and design your information security program in alignment with industry compliance frameworks.
Align Business, Cyber, and IT for Resilient Security
Meeting regulatory requirements is only one part of an effective cybersecurity strategy. Aligning your business, cyber, and IT functions is crucial to anticipate future risks and achieve comprehensive protection. Without this alignment, vulnerabilities are likely to emerge, leaving your data and operations exposed to unnecessary risk.
At Access Point Consulting, our Advisory & Compliance practice goes beyond compliance checklists to integrate risk management with your business objectives. Our team of security experts works with you to establish a proactive, business-aligned approach that supports regulatory needs while also addressing operational and strategic risks.
Services

Supply Chain Risk Management
Organizations of all sizes rely on third parties to provide products and services critical to their business functions. This reliance comes with risk: third parties often have access to your systems, networks, and sensitive data. Access Point Consulting helps mitigate these risks by combining comprehensive annual vendor assessments with continuous monitoring of your most critical vendors. We provide complete visibility into your supply chain, protecting your most valuable assets from potential breaches or disruptions.

Working With Us
In order to quickly and efficiently provide value to your organization, our team follows a direct approach to client onboarding. From day one, we operate as a trusted advisor to your team, offering only those solutions most needed by your organization.
Discovery
We begin with a discovery call, where we discuss your specific cybersecurity challenges, goals, and any pressing concerns. This conversation helps us gain insight into your business and security environment, allowing us to tailor our approach right from the start.
Proposal
Based on our initial discovery, we prepare a proposal which outlines our recommended engagement model and pricing. Each proposal includes a high-level project plan and deliverables mapped to your specific objectives. We work closely with you to ensure the proposal aligns with your security needs and organizational priorities.
Service Agreement
Once the proposal is reviewed and accepted, we move to formalize the partnership with a service agreement. This agreement clearly defines the scope of work and terms of service, ensuring transparency at every step. The service agreement acts as a roadmap for the initial engagement, providing clarity on expectations and outcomes.
Kickoff
Once an agreement has been signed, we ensure that our team is fully integrated with your organization's in-house team. Here we introduce key stakeholders and establish communication channels. Our team becomes an extension of your organization, ensuring a seamless engagement from start to finish.
Ongoing Client Support
Our commitment to your success extends well beyond the initial engagement. We build long-term partnerships by providing proactive support throughout every phase of our relationship, ensuring your cybersecurity program remains aligned with evolving risks, regulations, and business needs. Our goal is to anticipate challenges before they arise, offering tailored guidance and hands-on support every step of the way, so you can stay focused on what matters most—driving your business forward with confidence.
