BDO has been named a Microsoft Security 20/20 Award finalist for the Microsoft Compliance Services Innovator of the Year. This distinction recognizes global service partners that demonstrate leadership and innovation in managed compliance service scenarios.

“We are thrilled to be considered for Microsoft’s Compliance Service Innovator of the Year,” said Ric Opal, BDO Digital Principal and National GTM and Strategic Partnerships Leader. “BDO’s focus on compliance, security and identity solutions delivered on the Microsoft platform is an important element that helps our clients improve their regulatory posture and reduce their security exposure. Leveraging Microsoft’s investments in compliance and the cloud is a key differentiator for our clients, helping them achieve their business goals.”

The award categories and finalists were selected by a cross-functional group within Microsoft for their excellence in innovation, integration and customer implementation. This year, winners will be voted on by members of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), making this truly a celebration among peers. MISA was formed in 2018, bringing together top developers, innovators and cybersecurity companies to enhance cooperation and expand security capabilities of Microsoft platforms. Each MISA member company will get one vote and winners will be announced at the May 12^th event.

“The pandemic has forever changed our perspective on the world, the role of technology, and how we work, learn, and live,” said Rani Lofstrom, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Global Security Partnerships. “In recognition of our new reality, the theme for the Microsoft Security 20/20 Awards this year is ‘Perspective—Through the Looking Glass.’ The awards ceremony this year will honor our security partners who have gone above and beyond during an unprecedented time of change to support, secure and protect remote workers everywhere.”
