Cloud DevOps & Automation
Access Point’s Cloud DevOps & Automation service provides a streamlined way for organizations of all sizes to integrate security-as-code and intelligent automation into every stage of their development process. By becoming an extension of your IT and engineering teams, we help you embrace best practices—like automated vulnerability scanning and Infrastructure-as-Code optimization—without disrupting current workflows. The result is a more secure, agile, and efficient pipeline that aligns development, operations, and security goals under one cohesive strategy.
Balancing speed and security in the cloud
Modern software development and deployment demands quick turnarounds and constant iteration. Unfortunately, this can leave security or compliance measures trailing behind—potentially exposing your organization to costly vulnerabilities, downtime, and reputational harm.
Manual processes and human error
Many DevOps pipelines rely on manual interventions for provisioning resources, applying security patches, or verifying configurations. This not only slows delivery but also increases the chance of mistakes—particularly when multiple teams work in parallel.
Complex compliance requirements
As cloud infrastructures grow more complex, meeting standards like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or GDPR becomes harder. Without automated checks and continuous governance, your environment may fall out of compliance between code commits, risking fines or negative publicity.
Fragmented tooling and limited visibility
Disparate security and monitoring tools deployed across multiple clouds and on-prem environments create data silos and blind spots. Without a unified, realtime view of configurations, logs, and threat events, teams struggle to detect anomalies quickly or trace incidents end-to-end. The resulting gaps delay remediation efforts, inflate operational costs, and leave critical assets exposed longer than necessary.
Cloud DevOps & automation for secure, scalable workflows
Access Point Consulting helps you modernize and protect your cloud-based applications through robust, automated processes that integrate seamlessly with your existing workflows. We focus on embedding security into every stage of the DevOps cycle, so you can deploy faster and safer.
Security-as-Code in CI/CD pipelines
We embed automated vulnerability scans and policy checks directly into your CI/CD workflow so every merge and deployment passes the same rigorous security gate. At the same time, we engineer SecDevOps processes that unite development, operations, and security—from initial threat modeling through automated patching—while keeping all controls explicitly managed as code.
Optimized Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)
Our team builds IaC templates that map precisely to regulatory requirements, turning compliance into a native feature rather than an afterthought. Because infrastructure settings live in version-controlled repositories, every change is transparent, auditable, and repeatable, sharply reducing human error and accelerating review cycles.
Auto-scaling and fault-tolerant architecture
We show you how intelligent autoscaling policies let environments expand or contract with realtime demand, maintaining performance during traffic spikes without manual intervention. In parallel, we design for fault tolerance—leveraging load balancing and redundant components—to keep critical services available even when individual resources fail.
Infrastructure that scales with demand
Using infrastructure scripts and policy driven orchestration, we enable your workloads to adjust resources on demand, eliminating the need for last minute capacity fixes. The architecture incorporates load balancing, redundancy, and self-healing mechanisms that limit downtime and ensure rapid recovery whenever a service interruption occurs.
Automated cloud security configurations
We enforce standardized security policies—covering encryption, identity and access management, and more—across every environment from a single control point. Realtime compliance monitoring flags drift or policy violations the moment they arise, allowing swift remediation before minor issues become major incidents.

What Our Clients Are Saying
The team blended really well together with our team at Jefferson. The Access Point team was always available and provided the right documentation. Overall, working with Access Point was a great experience for me.
Working with Access Point has been a game changer. Their expertise in cybersecurity, coupled with their strategic approach to risk management and ISO 27001 preparation was highly valuable. They provided actionable recommendations and aided our team in implementing measures appropriate to our needs, giving us confidence in our data protection.
The cyber risk to internet-connected organizations is real. Access Point has the knowledge, experience, and expert resources to support my cybersecurity, compliance, and audit needs. They know how to guide organizations through the minefield of cybersecurity, adeptly balancing and prioritizing compliance requirements and right-sized services ensuring the safety and resiliency of my data assets and applications. Access Point is my partner and CISO, and the reason I do not lay awake at night worrying about cybersecurity and compliance.
"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.”
Access Point’s expertise in cybersecurity operations is remarkable. They helped establish our robust incident response team and implemented advanced monitoring and detection systems, tailoring solutions to our specific needs.
