Access Point Cybersecurity was founded in 2025 — but the experience behind it spans more than two decades.
Anthony Rivera, CISSP, CEO and Co-Founder, has spent 24 years building security programs from the ground up across healthcare, financial services, telecom, and logistics partnering with executive teams to turn security from a technical burden into a business advantage. He's led organizations through growth, disruption, and crisis and built security programs that thrived through all of it. That's the kind of experience Access Point is built on.
Jess Fotta, President and Co-Founder, brings a different but equally critical perspective. As a legal professional with over a decade of contract and vendor management experience, she leads APC's Third-Party Risk Management practice with a lens most cybersecurity firms simply don't have: she reads vendor contracts the way security professionals read threat intelligence. Where others see boilerplate, she sees risk.
Together, they built Access Point around a straightforward principle: cybersecurity should be built around the people it protects not sold around the products it uses.
This perspective informs everything, from how engagements are scoped to how many clients each consultant carries. We maintain a deliberately low client-to-consultant ratio so every organization we work with gets real attention and personalized solutions, not a recycled playbook.
How we work
Every engagement starts with a genuine assessment of where you are — not where we assume you are. From there we build a realistic plan and stay with you through implementation. We don't hand off a report. We stay engaged, working alongside you until the recommendations are implemented – not just delivered.
That means fewer clients per consultant, more direct access, and work that's built around your organization — not recycled from the last one.
Who We Serve & Where We Specialize
Healthcare organizations, insurers, and financial services firms make up the core of our client base — industries where regulatory pressure is real, and the cost of getting security wrong is measured in more than dollars. If you're operating under a compliance deadline, trying to understand your actual risk exposure, or wondering whether your security program would hold up when it matters most — that's exactly where we do our best work.
