About the Division

The IT Solutions & Security Division of Global Access Incorporated provides enterprise technology, cybersecurity, information security, risk, compliance, IT audit, AI, and digital transformation services to organizations across Japan.

We are building a curated network of experienced cybersecurity professionals, IT auditors, risk specialists, security architects, engineers, AI specialists, transformation consultants, and boutique consulting firms who can collaborate on client engagements.

Our objective is to connect clients with the right specialist expertise for each engagement, rather than maintaining a large pool of generalist contractors.

About the Partnership

Partners may be engaged on:

• Individual projects
• Defined workstreams
• Advisory assignments
• Audits and assessments
• Implementation projects
• Transformation initiatives
• Multidisciplinary delivery teams

Global Access handles client onboarding, contracting, and invoicing. Partners focus on the specialist work for which they have been engaged.
