Wizard Cyber

Our status as a Certified Microsoft Solutions Partner proves our dedication and expertise in Microsoft products

At Wizard Cyber, our Microsoft Partnership represents a testament to our dedication and expertise in Microsoft products. Unlike other levels of Microsoft Partners, we have proven our technical experience and skill across a wide range of products by consistently meeting strict standards and parameters.

Achieving excellence in cybersecurity, we have earned specializations in Cloud Security, Identity & Access Management (IAM), and Threat Protection. These credentials underscore our commitment to safeguarding digital environments against the most sophisticated threats. By integrating these specialized areas under our security specialization, we provide a robust framework to protect, detect, and respond to cyber challenges, ensuring our clients’ operations are secure and resilient.

Cloud Security

Cloud Security focuses on securing cloud-based systems, applications, and data. It involves implementing robust measures to protect cloud environments against unauthorized access, data breaches, and other cyber threats. This specialization ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of resources hosted in the cloud, covering aspects like data encryption, access control, threat detection, and response mechanisms to safeguard against vulnerabilities

Identity & Access Management (IAM)

Identity & Access Management is about managing and securing user identities and controlling their access to resources within an organization. It ensures that the right individuals can access the appropriate resources at the right times and for the right reasons. IAM encompasses processes and technologies for authenticating and authorizing users, managing user identities, provisioning and de-provisioning accounts, and monitoring and securing access to ensure compliance and protect against identity-based attacks

Threat Protection

Threat Protection involves strategies and technologies designed to detect, investigate, respond to, and remediate cyber threats and malicious activities. This specialization focuses on protecting against various forms of cyber threats, including malware, ransomware, phishing, and other advanced persistent threats (APTs). It includes deploying advanced security solutions like endpoint protection, email security, and security information and event management (SIEM) systems to detect anomalies, analyze security incidents, and prevent potential security breaches.

Information Protection & Governance

Information Protection & Governance focuses on protecting and managing the lifecycle of sensitive information within an organization. This specialization involves implementing policies and technologies to ensure data privacy, compliance, and secure information handling. It covers aspects like data classification, labeling, encryption, and rights management, ensuring that sensitive information is accessible only to authorized users and is protected against unauthorized access and misuse. Effective information governance also involves the proper retention and disposal of data, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and reducing risks associated with data breaches.

HOW TO BECOME MICROSOFT SOLUTIONS PARTNER

What are the requirements to
become a Microsoft Solutions Partner?

To become a Microsoft Solutions Partner, you must achieve the following:

Microsoft Solutions Partners exemplify a commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. To attain and maintain this status, companies must continually demonstrate their knowledge of the latest technologies and solutions, along with a dedication to advancing in this rapidly evolving industry. As a Certified Microsoft Solutions Partner, we take pride in meeting these rigorous criteria, ensuring we provide the highest level of expertise and service to our valued clients

As well as reducing the strain on your in-house security team, a managed SOC solution is a far more cost-effective way of gaining access to the infrastructure and personnel you need to protect your organisation

Running an in-house SOC will cost over a million pounds a year, on top of the initial set up expenses such as leasing of space, purchasing of technologies, and implementation. A managed SOC solution reduces these costs drastically, as well as relieving your team of the responsibility of entirely managing your security from day-to-day

Participation in Microsoft’s Customer Satisfaction Index

Microsoft places great importance on customer satisfaction. Aspiring partners must actively participate in the Customer Satisfaction Index to gauge and improve their service quality based on valuable feedback from clients

Regular Reviews of Competence to a Satisfactory Level

Microsoft evaluates potential partners' competence regularly to ensure they consistently meet the standards expected of a Solutions Partner. This ensures that only companies with exceptional technical capabilities earn the coveted certification

Maintain a certain level of customer service ratings

Exceptional customer service is a hallmark of Microsoft Solutions Partners. Companies seeking partnership must maintain a high level of customer service ratings, showcasing their commitment to delivering outstanding support to clients

Meeting Sales Requirements Set by Microsoft

Apart from technical proficiency, Microsoft Solutions Partners must meet specific sales targets. This indicates their ability to effectively promote and sell Microsoft products and solutions, contributing to a thriving Microsoft ecosystem

A Certain Number of Employees Completing Relevant Microsoft Certifications

Microsoft encourages continuous learning and professional development among its partners. Companies must ensure that a certain number of their employees complete relevant Microsoft certifications, keeping them updated with the latest technologies and best practices

Receiving Endorsements on the Quality of Service from a Certain Number of Customers

Positive feedback from satisfied customers is crucial for becoming a Solutions Partner. Companies must collect endorsements from a specific number of customers, attesting to the exceptional quality of their services
