What’s in the package?

Virtual CISO Lite

Benefit from dedicated advisory support—10-20 hours per month—guiding your security strategy, budgeting, and technology investments. You gain expert insights without the overhead of a full-time CISO, strategic security planning aligned with business goals, and clear guidance on regulatory requirements and best practices.

Compliance Management

Develop and implement up-to-date policies that align with industry standards, ensuring your organization remains compliant. This results in streamlined adherence to regulatory frameworks (e.g., HIPAA, PCI-DSS), reduced exposure to fines and legal issues, and simplified audits and due diligence processes.

Security Operations Center (SOC)

Our SOC analysts monitor your network and systems during core business hours (8 hours a day, 5 days a week), identifying and responding to suspicious activity before it escalates. This service offers early threat detection and response, reduced risk of downtime and data breaches, and professional oversight tailored to your operating schedule.

Vulnerability Management

Regularly scan and prioritize remediation of known vulnerabilities to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals. This ensures proactive risk mitigation through scheduled assessments, actionable remediation guidance to close security gaps, and continuous system hardening for peace of mind.

Matthew Collins
Vice President of IT & Cloud Ops at Atlas Health

"Access Point is more than staff augmentation. We don't have someone that we're just assigning tickets to and they’re processing. We have someone who's helping leadership, helping to set strategy, and helping us answer our customers’ questions. When done right, it doesn't have to be an additional management headache.”
