What 360 Advanced does

360 Advanced is a privately held cybersecurity and compliance consulting firm headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, founded in 2006 and operating under an alternative practice structure that separates attest (360 Advanced, Inc., a licensed CPA firm) from nonattest (360 Advanced Cybersecurity, LLC) services. With 51-100 employees and a stated base of 900+ clients, the firm serves mid-market and enterprise organizations in healthcare, financial services, government/defense, software/technology, and data center/IT infrastructure sectors. Its core proposition is an integrated compliance model that enables clients to satisfy multiple regulatory frameworks (SOC 1/2/3, HIPAA, HITRUST, ISO 27001/27701/42001, FedRAMP, CMMC, GovRAMP, PCI DSS, GLBA, GDPR, CPRA, MARS-E) through a single engagement, reducing audit fatigue and consolidating duplicate compliance work. The firm carries hard-to-obtain regulatory designations including Florida CPA license, PCAOB registration, HITRUST CSF Assessor status (since 2016), GovRAMP 3PAO (2024), and FedRAMP 3PAO accreditation.

The firm generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services engagements, supplemented by a managed cybersecurity services tier (360 Cyber Essential, Shield, Advanced) and penetration testing. Its methodology is explicitly platform-agnostic, maintaining independence across GRC environments rather than aligning with a single automation platform. Distribution is anchored in direct enterprise field sales targeting mid-market and enterprise organizations, complemented by a Compliance Alliance partner program spanning 16+ partners including GRC platforms (Drata, Vanta, ZenGRC, Comply, Anecdotes, Strike Graph), audit firms (Maloney Novotny), cyber insurance (UKON), and industry associations (ISSA, ISC2, ISACA, CSA).

The firm executed a notable growth phase in 2024-2025: two acquisitions in 2024 (GoldSky Security and Aberrant, a cybersecurity software platform for MSPs), a third acquisition (Security Compliance Associates) in September 2025, and a minority growth investment from Bregal Sagemount Basecamp in January 2025. The firm added a Chief Revenue Officer (Cameron Youngblood) in February 2026, expanded into AI assurance services (NIST AI Risk Assessment, ISO/IEC 42001), achieved ISO/IEC 27701 privacy accreditation, joined Rapid7's Cyber GRC Early Access Program, and was ranked No. 122 on Inc.'s Regionals: Southeast list in 2026.

Core offering

360 Advanced is a cybersecurity and compliance consulting firm that provides integrated third-party assessments, managed cybersecurity services, and risk advisory engagements. The firm delivers SOC examinations, HITRUST/ISO/PCI DSS/HIPAA/FedRAMP/CMMC/GovRAMP certifications, NIST-based risk assessments, CSA STAR attestations, penetration testing, and privacy compliance services (GDPR, CPRA, GLBA, MARS-E, Microsoft SSPA) to mid-market and enterprise organizations across regulated industries.

Product overview

360 Advanced is a cybersecurity and compliance consulting firm offering an integrated suite of professional services rather than a unified software product. The portfolio spans managed cybersecurity services (360 Cyber Essential, Shield, and Advanced tiers), compliance assessments across major frameworks (SOC 1/2/3, HITRUST, ISO 27001/27701/42001, PCI DSS, HIPAA), federal security services (FedRAMP, CMMC, GovRAMP, FISMA), risk assessments (NIST frameworks, CSA STAR), penetration testing, and privacy compliance (GDPR, CPRA, GLBA, MARS-E, Microsoft SSPA). The company also provides a partner portal for its Compliance Alliance network. Rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture, 360 Advanced delivers these as discrete but often integrated consulting engagements, allowing organizations to combine multiple frameworks into unified assessment programs.
