August 17, 2017

Focal Point experienced 174% growth in the last three years to earn a coveted spot among the most successful private companies in the U.S.

TAMPA, FL – Inc. magazine today ranked Focal Point Data Risk, LLC (Focal Point), one of the largest pure-play data risk consulting firms in North America, on its 36th annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This marks the first time Focal Point has appeared on the list and is continued recognition of Focal Point’s position as a growth leader in the risk management space.

Growing more than 174% in the past three years, Focal Point has quickly become a nationally recognized leader in data risk management, helping an impressive array of Fortune 1000 organizations and U.S. government agencies better manage risk to their businesses and critical data.

Focal Point is also notable for the following:

  • Recognized for outstanding growth within the consulting industry and in the Tampa Bay area
  • CEO named a finalist for EY’s prestigious Entrepreneur of the Year award
  • Published the ground-breaking Cyber Balance Sheet Report in early 2017
  • Serving five of the 10 largest companies in the U.S.
  • Training more than 15,000 cybersecurity professionals in mission-critical roles

Focal Point’s growth has been evident outside of revenue numbers, as well.  In the past year, the company has recruited more than 100 professionals from a variety of disciplines, added a number of marquee clients in industry and government, and bolstered already strong offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.

“The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive,” said Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 5000 tell us they think determination, risk taking, and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them.”

The 2017 Inc. 5000 is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $206 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 619,500 jobs over the past three years.
