(Columbia, MD, April 23, 2025) — XPERTECHS has been recognized as a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security, a credential that reflects the company’s advanced capabilities in cybersecurity and its continued focus on helping small and mid-sized businesses reduce risk and stay compliant.

“We see this credential as validation of the work we’re already doing,” said Mike Mellott, President of XPERTECHS. “It shows that we have the expertise to turn Microsoft’s security tools into real-world protection for our clients — not just in theory, but in practice.”

To earn the designation, Microsoft looks for certified professionals on staff, evidence of successful client deployments, and hands-on experience with tools like Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Entra ID, and Microsoft Sentinel. That includes certifications in areas like threat protection, identity and access management, and data security — all of which demonstrate that XPERTECHS has the skills to implement these solutions to effectively manage cyber risk.

For clients, this means confidence that their security strategy is being built and supported by a team of experts who stay ahead of evolving cyber risks and know how to design and implement Microsoft security solutions that actually improve protection, simplify compliance, and support business goals.

“We build security into every part of our service,” said Joe Mellott, Vice President of Professional Services. “From identity protection and endpoint security to compliance support and threat detection, we help our clients stay ahead of what’s coming and make sure their security is keeping up with the rest of their business.”

XPERTECHS integrates Microsoft’s enterprise security tools into its DEFEND Managed Security services — a full suite of protections that includes 24/7 monitoring, incident response, compliance documentation, and guidance for frameworks like CMMC. The goal: make effective security easier to manage and more aligned with how clients actually work.

This Microsoft designation adds to XPERTECHS’s growing list of credentials, including its status as a Registered Provider Organization (RPO) for CMMC and its SOC 2 Type 2 certification.
