Kocho have achieved Microsoft Verified Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) solution status. An award that puts us among one of only seven global partners with the full set of Microsoft security specialisations.  

We’re excited to share that Kocho now holds Microsoft Verified MXDR status.

An award that recognises Microsoft partners who can demonstrate the ‘highest industry standards of round-the-clock security including proactive threat hunting, investigation, response, and prevention services.’

It makes Kocho one of only seven current MISA members worldwide to possess Verified MXDR solution status as well as all four Security Specialisations. Further solidifying our place among Microsoft’s leading global partners.

Meeting the highest standards of 24/7 security

Achieving Microsoft Verified MXDR solution status is an industry recognised validation of the quality and robustness of our managed security services and the 24/7 capabilities of our Security Operations Centre (SOC).

And, as you might expect, it’s not an easy status to achieve.

It involves comprehensive validation of our approach, architecture, and service delivery by Microsoft’s Security Engineering team.

All of which must be verified in real-world scenarios via positive references and attestations from our customers.

Reinforcing our status as a leading global Microsoft Security Partner

As well as our status as a MISA member, our verified MXDR solution status sits alongside our specialisations in:

  • Cloud Security

  • Threat Protection

  • Identity and Access Management

  • Information Protection and Governance

Alastair Rees, Director of Alliances, Kocho said “By achieving Microsoft Verified MXDR solution status we now hold all the security accreditations Microsoft has to offer. Further enhancing our place in the higher echelons of Microsoft’s security partners globally.

“Furthermore, it offers reassurance for our clients that their security is in expert hands. Not only for peace of mind, but also by providing a secure platform that allows them to focus on growth.”
