UK cyber security firm JUMPSEC has achieved Microsoft Enterprise Partner status for Security, strengthening its position as a trusted provider of advanced cyber defence services for organisations across the UK. The recognition highlights the company’s technical expertise and its ability to deliver security solutions built around Microsoft technologies while helping clients reduce the risk of cyber attacks.

The partner designation reflects JUMPSEC’s experience in implementing and managing Microsoft security tools alongside its own attacker-led approach to cyber defence. By combining advanced technology with hands-on threat research and expertise, the company helps organisations identify vulnerabilities early and respond quickly to potential incidents before they escalate.

Sam Temple, CEO of JUMPSEC, said in a blog post that the recognition validates the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality cyber security services to clients.

“We’re delighted to be recognised by Microsoft for the quality of our delivery, our depth of security knowledge, and our relentless focus on defending our clients. This status doesn’t change how we work—it validates the work we’ve already done and sets a path for JUMPSEC’s very exciting future.”

Supporting organisations with cyber resilience

Founded in the UK, JUMPSEC is a specialist cyber security consultancy that provides both offensive and defensive services to organisations across multiple sectors. The company works closely with clients to strengthen their security posture, combining technical expertise, threat intelligence and research to protect businesses against evolving cyber threats.

Its services include penetration testing, red teaming, attack path mapping, incident response planning and managed detection and response. These services are designed to simulate real-world cyber attacks and identify weaknesses in systems, networks and applications before malicious actors can exploit them.

Penetration testing, often referred to as ethical hacking, allows security specialists to test how well an organisation’s infrastructure can withstand an attempted breach. Red teaming takes this approach further by simulating sophisticated attacks that mirror the techniques used by real cyber criminals. These exercises enable organisations to test their detection capabilities, improve incident response procedures and strengthen overall cyber resilience.

Rising cyber threats across the UK

The need for strong cyber security control has never been greater. According to the UK government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 43% of UK businesses reported experiencing a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months, affecting an estimated 612,000 businesses across the country.

Larger organisations face even greater risk. The survey found that 74% of large businesses and 67% of medium-sized organisations identified cyber incidents during the same period, highlighting the growing scale and sophistication of modern cyber threats.

Cyber attacks can result in financial losses, operational disruption and reputational damage for organisations of all sizes. Individuals are also increasingly targeted through phishing scams, identity theft and malicious software designed to steal personal information.

As businesses rely more heavily on digital systems, cloud infrastructure and remote working technologies, cyber criminals continue to exploit vulnerabilities wherever they exist. This evolving threat landscape means organisations must take proactive steps to identify risks and strengthen their security defences.

Proactive defence through testing and expertise

JUMPSEC’s approach focuses on closing the gap between prevention, detection and response. By combining threat-led testing with continuous monitoring and incident response planning, the company works with organisations to reduce their exposure to cyber attacks and improve resilience.

Through penetration testing, red teaming and ongoing cyber advisory services, JUMPSEC helps organisations understand how attackers operate and how they can better defend against them. The company’s attacker-mindset approach ensures security strategies are built around real-world threats rather than theoretical risks.

With cyber threats continuing to evolve rapidly, partnerships with technology providers such as Microsoft are becoming increasingly important in delivering effective security solutions.

Achieving Microsoft Enterprise Partner status for Security marks another milestone in JUMPSEC’s mission to help organisations across the UK stay secure in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
