Attaining a Security SPD
In the second article in our Security SPD series, Michael Brooke offers tips to help partners gain the insight track from start to finish.
The Modern Work Solutions Partner Designation isn’t just a badge — it’s a growth framework. But for many partners, understanding how the score is calculated, where the gaps are, and what actually moves the needle can feel unclear.
This session is designed to cut through the noise.
We’ll walk through the Modern Work designation framework end-to-end, unpack how Microsoft measures performance, skilling, and customer success, and show you exactly where to find your data and how to improve it.
Whether you’re actively working towards the designation or already on the journey and want to strengthen your score, this webinar will give you practical, actionable guidance you can apply immediately.
We recommend watching the Solutions Partner Designation 101 session before this webinar to build your foundational knowledge. Available Here: Modern Work Solution Partner Designations Webinar.
