MicroWarehouse Mission 65 Partner Pledge

As a valued MicroWarehouse partner adopting the challenge of the Mission 65 initiative, we commit to the following
principles and actions to enhance our security posture and deliver exceptional value to our clients:

 

MicroWarehouse Mission 65

  • MicroWarehouse Mission 65 is a strategic security initiative designed to elevate partner cybersecurity capabilities and client protection through a comprehensive, collaborative approach. This innovative program challenges technology partners to advance their own and their clients security posture by achieving and maintaining a Microsoft Secure Score of 65 or higher, representing a robust standard of digital defence. Track your secure score here.
  • At its core, Mission 65 is a transformative partnership framework that empowers technology service providers to implement cutting-edge security strategies. By leveraging Microsoft 365 Business Premium (E3 or E5) and embracing Zero Trust principles, partners commit to a proactive, holistic approach to cybersecurity that goes beyond traditional defensive measures.
  • The initiative focuses on five key pillars: adopting Zero Trust security architectures, developing comprehensive security solutions built around Microsoft Security Suite (adding what you need), continuous performance improvement measuring yourself against secure score and that average target of 65%, collaborative knowledge sharing, and maintaining a client-centric security philosophy. Partners who join Mission 65 demonstrate a profound commitment to protecting digital assets, mitigating evolving cyber risks, and delivering exceptional value to their clients.
  • Through this program, MicroWarehouse aims to create a network of security-focused partners who not only protect their clients but also drive industry-wide security standards and best practices. Mission 65 represents more than a challenge—it's a movement towards more resilient, intelligent, and trustworthy digital ecosystems for our clients and the island of Ireland.
