History

Focal Point was originally founded as Sunera in April 2005 by former KPMG partners and executives.[7] Sunera focused its original service offerings on IT controls testing, vulnerability assessments, internal audit, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.[8]

In 2014, Sunera was acquired by Cyber Risk Management, a company formed by Norwest Equity Partners, Halyard Capital, and partners of Sunera.

Cyber Risk Management acquired ANRC,[9] a cyber security training provider, in 2014, and APTEC, LLC,[10] an identity and access management solutions integrator in 2015.

On February 6, 2015, Florida Governor Rick Scott announced the expansion of the company’s Tampa headquarters. The expansion brought 41 new jobs between 2015 and 2018.[11][12][13][14]
