Information Governance Solutions

What Information Governance Solutions does

Information Governance Solutions, doing business as Access Information Management, is a privately held records and information management services provider headquartered in Irvine, California, founded in 2004. The company operates an integrated dual-brand architecture: Access Unify® serves as the technology-enabled end-to-end information management platform unifying physical and digital records across storage, digitization, retrieval, governance, and secure destruction, while Access Classic™ delivers the traditional physical services layer (offsite storage, document scanning/imaging, and NAID AAA-certified secure destruction). The platform incorporates AI-powered box-level and file-level indexing, structured retention schedule management (Access Unify | Lifecycle), and vertical-specific modules for healthcare (EHR archival under Access Unify | Health) and energy (geospatial data and land file management under Access Unify | Energy).

The company serves more than 33,000 clients across the United States, Canada, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, and Trinidad and Tobago through a footprint of 190+ locations, supported by approximately 2,900 team members. Its target verticals include financial services, healthcare, legal, insurance, and energy/utilities, with named customers such as Penn State Health, Summa Health, TMC, Eclaro, and American Seafoods. Core customer pain points addressed include regulatory compliance (HIPAA, retention scheduling), risk management, EHR archival, defensible disposal, and the digital transformation of paper-based records.

The business operates on a predictable flat-rate monthly subscription pricing model for Access Unify platform services, complemented by subscription-based Access Classic physical services and professional services (including free 30-minute retention schedule consultations and a 90-day free trial of Access Unify | Lifecycle). Revenue mechanics are therefore predominantly recurring/subscription-based with a services overlay. Go-to-market relies on enterprise field sales, inside sales, and self-service portals (Access Classic and Access Unify Services Portals), with a content-led marketing engine spanning the "Access Unlocked" blog, webinars, eBooks, and case studies. The company maintains enterprise-grade compliance certifications including NAID AAA, SOC, PCI DSS, and PRISM International Privacy certification.

Direct peers

• Iron Mountain: Global leader in physical records storage, secure shredding, and information governance. Directly comparable business model across storage, digitization, and destruction; Access operates in Iron Mountain's core market with overlapping service offerings and enterprise customers.
• Stericycle (Shred-it): Stericycle operates Shred-it, a major secure information destruction franchise competing directly with Access Classic | Shred. Overlapping customer base in regulated industries with comparable NAID AAA-certified destruction processes and subscription service model.
• Corodata: Regional records management company offering offsite storage, scanning, and shredding services to enterprise clients. Comparable service portfolio and target verticals (legal, healthcare, financial) make Corodata a smaller-scale direct competitor to Access Classic offerings.
• Crown Records Management: Privately held records management provider with physical storage, digital conversion, and secure destruction services. Comparable mid-market enterprise sales motion and overlapping vertical focus in healthcare, legal, and financial services.
• Vital Records Control: Records management and information governance provider offering storage, shredding, and digital solutions to regulated industries. Direct competitor in physical-to-digital lifecycle services with similar HIPAA and compliance-driven customer base.
• ARC Document Solutions: Document management and workflow services provider with print, scan, and information management offerings. Overlapping enterprise document services portfolio and shared focus on digitization of physical records into digital workflows.
• Recall Holdings (now Iron Mountain): Historical direct competitor in physical and digital records management prior to acquisition by Iron Mountain. Now part of Iron Mountain but historically benchmarked against Access in mid-market enterprise records management deals.
