7:11


TL;DR: CyberOne has achieved Microsoft Advanced Specialisation in Data Security, completing the full set of Microsoft Security Advanced Specialisations across Cloud Security, Data Security, Identity & Access Management and Threat Protection

CyberOne is proud to announce that we have achieved Microsoft Advanced Specialisation in Data Security. This is a major milestone, completing our full set of Microsoft Security Advanced Specialisations across Cloud Security, Data Security, Identity & Access Management and Threat Protection.

This latest recognition reinforces CyberOne’s ability to help organisations protect sensitive information, strengthen compliance, support secure AI adoption and innovation and utilise Microsoft Purview to maximise the value of Microsoft Security investments.

Microsoft’s Advanced Specialisations are designed to recognise partners with proven technical capability, customer success and independently verified expertise in high-priority solution areas. For CyberOne, this latest achievement is another clear signal of our continued investment in Microsoft Security and our commitment to delivering measurable business outcomes for customers.

A Major Milestone for CyberOne & Our customers

Data Security has moved from a technical concern to a business priority. As organisations adopt AI at scale, modernise operations and manage growing volumes of sensitive information, leaders need confidence that data is properly governed, protected and aligned to compliance requirements, so business growth can be enabled. 

Achieving Microsoft Advanced Specialisation in Data Security validates CyberOne’s ability to help customers do exactly that, with practical services that reduce complexity, strengthen resilience and support secure growth.

“Achieving the Advanced Specialisation in Data Security is a big milestone for CyberOne and for our customers. It reflects the depth of our Microsoft Purview capabilities and formally evidences what we have long been experts in. In the age of AI, helping organisations protect sensitive data in a way that is practical, measurable and aligned to business priorities is critical. As data becomes crucial to compliance, resilience and AI readiness, customers need confidence that the right controls are in place and delivering value.” 
- Luke Elston, Microsoft Practice Director at CyberOne

 

Completing the Full Microsoft Security Advanced Specialisation Set

With this latest achievement, CyberOne has now completed the core Microsoft Security Advanced Specialisation set across four critical security domains:

  • Cloud Security
  • Data Security
  • Identity & Access Management
  • Threat Protection

This matters because modern cyber security challenges do not sit neatly in one area. Identity, Data, Cloud and Threat Protection are closely connected. Businesses need joined-up security strategies that reduce risk across the whole environment, not point out solutions that create more operational overhead.

“This achievement is strategically important because it completes the full set of Microsoft Security Advanced Specialisations for CyberOne. It shows the strength of our relationship with Microsoft, the maturity of our practice and the confidence customers can place in us as a specialist security partner. For organisations looking to simplify security and get more value from Microsoft, this gives them assurance that CyberOne can deliver across the full security journey.”

- Ben Harding, Microsoft Alliance Director at CyberOne

 

CyberOne’s approach is built around exactly that principle, helping organisations move from risk to resilience by combining Microsoft’s security technologies with expert Consulting, Professional and Managed Services and outcome-focused delivery.

Why Data Security Matters Now

Data security is no longer just about locking information down. It is about understanding where sensitive data lives, who has access to it, how it is being used and whether the right protections are applied consistently across the organisation.

“Data security matters now because it sits at the centre of trust, resilience and readiness for AI. Organisations need to know their sensitive data is understood, governed and protected, not just for compliance, but to support secure growth and innovation.”

- Dominic List, CEO & Founder, CyberOne


That has become even more important as businesses prepare for Microsoft 365 Copilot and broader AI adoption. Strong data governance, classification, protection and lifecycle management are now essential to getting AI readiness right.

CyberOne helps customers address these challenges with Microsoft-powered services focused on:

  • Data Discovery & Classification
  • Data Loss Prevention
  • Information Protection
  • Insider Risk Reduction
  • Compliance & Governance
  • AI &Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness

This new Advanced Specialisation strengthens CyberOne’s position as a partner that can help customers turn Microsoft Security investments into practical business outcomes.

What This Means for Our Customers

For CyberOne customers, this specialisation is recognition of the extensive data security work we already deliver across Microsoft Security. It reinforces our proven ability to help organisations protect sensitive information, strengthen governance and compliance and support secure, practical outcomes across modern data environments.

It means working with a partner that understands how these areas connect and how to apply Microsoft technology in ways that support business goals, reduce operational burden and improve cyber maturity over time.
