# 360 Advanced, Inc. - **Type:** Certification body - **Website:** https://360advanced.com - **Assessed by:** The Assurance Desk (Add-Venture Advisory Ltd) A US assurance firm offering SOC 2 examinations, ISO 27001, 27701 and 42001 audits and FedRAMP assessments. Its ISO and FedRAMP pages name no accreditation body. ## 360 Advanced scores Scored 1 to 5 on six criteria. There is no overall score. ### Help when things go wrong: 1/5 No published case studies, disclosed outcomes, or named practitioners describing support through a client data breach, security incident or regulatory inquiry were found on 360advanced.com's client-stories, blog or about pages (checked 2026-09-20); the firm positions itself as an assessor/attestor, not an incident-response provider. ### Qualifications of the people who do the work: 2/5 Florida CPA licence AD67897 and PCAOB registration are stated on the firm's own site for 360 Advanced, Inc.'s attest work, but self-reported only, the Florida DBPR licence register and Sunbiz entity register were both unreachable, so neither is independently confirmed. Separately, its ISO 27001/27701/42001 'certification' and FedRAMP '3PAO' marketing names no accreditation body (no ANAB, no A2LA) anywhere, and its homepage badge reads 'CyberAB RPO' (Registered Provider Organization, a consulting-only CMMC tier), not 'C3PAO', so no verified accreditation was found for any of the certification schemes it markets. ### What it publishes about fees: 1/5 No pricing, rate card or worked fee example is published anywhere on the site; a dedicated /our-services/pricing/ path returns HTTP 404 and every service page routes to a contact form (checked 2026-09-20). ### Knowledge of your sector: 3/5 Named industry pages for financial services, government, healthcare and software/data, plus sector-specific services (HIPAA/HITECH, GLBA, MARS-E, FedRAMP/GovRAMP), but no named sector-lead practitioners or published sector case outcomes were found in this pass. ### Independence from what it sells: 4/5 A published article states 360 Advanced does not let GRC platforms sell or bundle its SOC examinations, and that examination fees, scope and conclusions are set independently by its own examination team under an AICPA alternative-practice structure separating attest work (360 Advanced, Inc.) from non-attest consulting (360 Advanced Cybersecurity, LLC). Its 'Compliance Alliance' does list GRC-platform partners (Drata, Vanta, Compyl, Archer), though referral/compensation terms for that alliance are not disclosed. ### Who carries the risk if the advice is wrong: 1/5 No professional-indemnity/errors-and-omissions insurance cover, liability cap, or client-incident support commitment is disclosed anywhere on 360advanced.com in this research pass (checked 2026-09-20). ## Sources for 360 Advanced Every line carries the page it was read on and the date it was checked. - 360 Advanced, Inc. states it holds Florida CPA licence number AD67897 and is registered with the PCAOB for its attest work. - Source: https://360advanced.com/ - Checked: 2026-09-20 - 360 Advanced operates two separate legal entities under an AICPA alternative practice structure. - Source: https://360advanced.com/who-we-are/ - Checked: 2026-09-20 - 360 Advanced publishes a policy stating it does not let GRC platforms sell or bundle its SOC report examinations, and that examination fees/scope/conclusions are set independently by its own examination team. - Source: https://360advanced.com/evaluating-ethics-and-independence-in-soc-report-examinations/ - Checked: 2026-09-20 - 360 Advanced markets ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 42001 certification audit services; its dedicated page for this contains no mention of an accreditation body. - Source: https://360advanced.com/our-services/iso-certifications/ - Checked: 2026-09-20 - 360 Advanced's homepage displays a 'CyberAB RPO' (Registered Provider Organization) badge, the CMMC ecosystem's consulting-only tier, not the 'C3PAO' assessor/certifier tier. - Source: https://360advanced.com/ - Checked: 2026-09-20 - 360 Advanced's FedRAMP page states it is a designated Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) but names no accrediting body or certificate/accreditation-schedule number. - Source: https://360advanced.com/fedramp/ - Checked: 2026-09-20 ## What this provider publishes Not published means we did not find it on the firm's own pages. - Price: Not published - Indemnity cover: Not published - Credentials: Published - Independent accreditation: Not published - Client results: Not published - How it uses AI: Not published ## Strengths - Genuine, named core credential: a Florida-licensed CPA firm (AD67897) registered with the PCAOB for SOC 2 attest work, structurally separated from its non-attest cybersecurity consulting arm under an AICPA alternative-practice structure. - A specific, published independence policy: states GRC platforms cannot sell or bundle its SOC examinations, and that fees, scope and conclusions are set independently of any platform partnership. - Broad federal- and regulated-sector service line (FedRAMP/GovRAMP, CMMC-adjacent advisory, HITRUST, PCI-QSA, HIPAA/GLBA/MARS-E) with named industry pages for financial services, government, healthcare and software/data. ## Things to check Each one carries the factual basis it rests on. - We could not read the Florida registers. Ask for its company details and accountancy licence. - Basis: Direct curl to myfloridalicense.com returned HTTP 500; direct curl to search.sunbiz.org hit a Cloudflare-style challenge; Bright Data itself returned x-brd-error-code policy_20140 (DBPR needs KYC/robots.txt clearance) and refused Sunbiz as a Government-classified domain, all checked 2026-09-20. - It markets ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 42001 certification audits and FedRAMP 3PAO assessment without naming any accreditation body or scope anywhere on those pages, so the accreditation implied by that marketing (especially for the newer ISO 42001 AI-management standard) is not confirmed. - Basis: Raw-HTML search of https://360advanced.com/our-services/iso-certifications/ and https://360advanced.com/fedramp/ (fetched 2026-09-20) found zero occurrences of 'accredit', 'ANAB' or 'A2LA'; ANAB's own directory search tool returned no queryable results to a direct or Bright Data fetch in this pass. - Its own homepage accreditation badge reads 'CyberAB RPO' (Registered Provider Organization), the CMMC scheme's consulting-only tier, not 'C3PAO', so it is not shown to hold the tier required to issue CMMC certifications, despite hosting a page that walks through the CMMC certification process. - Basis: Image filename 'CyberAB_RPO-Logo.png' and alt text "CyberAB" on https://360advanced.com/ (fetched 2026-09-20); the raw text of https://360advanced.com/cmmc/ names no accrediting body and does not itself claim C3PAO status. - No pricing, rate card or worked fee example is published anywhere on the site, and no professional-indemnity/errors-and-omissions insurance cover is disclosed. - Basis: https://360advanced.com/our-services/pricing/ returns HTTP 404 (checked 2026-09-20); no insurance/indemnity language found on the homepage, who-we-are, or SOC 2 service pages reviewed in this pass. ## Where this firm appears - [Can the firm that prepares you also certify you?](https://theassurancedesk.com/best/certification-seeking) - [Your sector adds its own rules to UK data protection law](https://theassurancedesk.com/best/sector-regulated) - [Compare providers](https://theassurancedesk.com/compare) --- **Scope.** The Assurance Desk covers data protection, AI governance and cyber security in the United Kingdom and the United States. It scores providers in both: UK-facing firms, and firms based in the United States. Every provider scored so far was selected for data-protection, AI-governance or security-assurance work. Where a page describes law, it names the country that law applies in. **Who publishes this.** The Assurance Desk is published by Add-Venture Advisory Ltd, company number 11854524, registered in England and Wales. The same owner runs Avouch, a marketing agency that sells AI visibility services to firms of the kind this site covers. That is a conflict of interest, and it is disclosed here. **Corrections.** If you represent this firm and something here is wrong or out of date, email hello@theassurancedesk.com with the evidence.
