Kick Secures Sixth Microsoft Solutions Partner Accreditation

We’re proud to share that Kick has now achieved Microsoft’s Solutions Partner designation for Security – completing our journey securing all six of Microsoft’s Solutions Partner accreditations.

This achievement places Kick among a small number of organisations in the UK to hold all six of Microsoft’s industry-recognised Solutions Partner designations. Alongside Security, these are Business Applications, Modern Work, Azure Infrastructure, Data & AI, and Digital & App Innovation – covering every core area of Microsoft’s technology stack.

To become a Microsoft Solutions Partner, organisations must demonstrate deep technical expertise and customer success in each area. In addition, each designation requires a specific number of certified professionals with up-to-date, specialist skills.

Reaching this level recognises the consistent effort, learning, and development our teams undertake year after year. Skilling is at the heart of Microsoft’s partner model – and it’s at the heart of our approach too. Whether studying for new certifications, staying ahead of evolving technologies, or helping customers solve complex challenges, our people are what make accreditations like this possible.

While these designations are technical in nature, they also speak to something bigger: our ongoing investment in the knowledge, tools, and people needed to deliver outstanding service and support. For our customers, it offers additional reassurance that they’re working with a partner who is invested in their success and who’s trusted by Microsoft and recognised for consistently delivering results.

Kick continues to invest in its KickSecure division – an area of the business dedicated to helping organisations strengthen their defences in the face of growing cyber threats. This sits alongside our ISO 27001 certification, which reinforces our internal information security practices and gives customers added confidence that their data is being handled in line with internationally recognised standards.

Reflecting on the achievement, Kick’s CEO, Tom O’Hara said:

“We’re particularly proud to have completed the full suite with the addition of the Security designation.  In an environment where cyber threats are constantly evolving, being recognised for our capability in this area is both timely and meaningful. It underlines our ability to help customers safeguard their data, systems, and operations – now and into the future.

This achievement is a shared one, and I want to thank everyone across the business who has played a part – from those gaining certifications and supporting audits, to colleagues helping customers every day with solutions built on Microsoft technology. We’re thrilled to have reached this point and look forward to investing for the future as we continue to support over 1,000 organisations across the UK.”
