Ravanty Achieves Microsoft Security IAM and Threat Protection Specializations

We are proud to announce that we have achieved the Microsoft's Security Specializations in Identity & Access Management and Threat Protection, a recognition of our expertise in delivering top-tier Microsoft security solutions. This achievement reaffirms our commitment to helping organizations strengthen their cybersecurity posture using Microsoft's comprehensive security stack.

If you’ve worked with us, you know we care deeply about two things: people and protection. Today, we’re excited to share a milestone that reflects both - Ravanty Tech Consulting, Inc. has officially achieved Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Threat Protection specializations in the Microsoft's Security designation area.

This recognition isn’t just a badge; it’s proof of the outcomes we deliver every day - securing identities, endpoints, apps, and data while enabling responsible AI workforce.

-Yesai Tchouldjian, CTO, Ravanty

Why these specializations matter (and how they help our customers)

Specializations are Microsoft’s way of validating advanced, real-world capabilities - not just theory. They require verified customer success, advanced certifications, usage metrics, and an audit by Microsoft, which collectively signal that a partner can design, deploy, and run solutions to a high standard in production environments. Partners highlight these achievements because they meaningfully increase trust and discoverability for customers in Microsoft's ecosystem (e.g., #marketplace and #AppSource listings) and align tightly with co‑sell motions and funding programs.

Identity & Access Management (IAM)

Ravanty's IAM specialization affirms expertise across Microsoft Entra ID - from Conditional Access and MFA to Identity Governance and lifecycle management. In practice, it means we can help you:

• Implement Zero Trust for identities - protecting accounts, apps, and workloads with granular, risk‑adaptive policies.

• Simplify integrations - including modern, in‑product partner solutions that deliver layered defenses at your authentication edge (think WAF and fraud protection that snap into Entra).

• Speed secure adoption - especially when moving workloads from other clouds to Azure, where understanding IAM differences is critical for continuity and compliance.

• Streamline identity unification during M&A with Entra ID – consolidate directories, normalize authentication methods, and establish cross-tenant trust using Entra ID capabilities to reduce integration friction, eliminate shadow access paths, and get to a single Zero-Trust-ready identity estate faster.

Threat Protection

Our Threat Protection specialization validates end‑to‑end proficiency with the Microsoft Defender suite and Microsoft Sentinel - from proactive endpoint defense and email security to cloud app controls and SIEM/SOAR operations. For customers, this translates to:

• Faster detection & response to ransomware, phishing, and identity‑based attacks, with unified visibility across your environment.

• Proven delivery discipline - specialization requirements cover certifications, MAU/ACR or deployment thresholds, customer references, and audits, ensuring that partners are truly equipped for advanced security scenarios in production.

• Service expansion pathways like MDR and incident response backed by Defender and Sentinel foundations, a differentiator many elite partners use to raise the bar on resilience.

Our alignment with Microsoft’s strategic vision is even stronger. We are enthusiastic about utilizing the additional support and resources available to partners, ensuring that we stay ahead in offering cutting-edge Microsoft Security solutions to our customers.

How Ravanty differentiates (beyond the badge)

We’ve learned from the best in the ecosystem that specializations amplify differentiation when paired with clear offers, public proof, and marketplace presence. Independent analyses show partners who invest in designations and listings gain stronger lead‑to‑win rates and are more likely to access Microsoft funding - ultimately benefiting customers through subsidized pilots, workshops, and accelerators. We apply those lessons in a way that’s genuine to our brand:

• Security-first AI with Copilot Pak365™ - We help organizations adopt Microsoft 365 #Copilot with guardrails - aligning identity, data governance, and endpoint security before and during rollout. Our approach has been spotlighted in Microsoft’s partner community for enabling secure, responsible AI that creates measurable outcomes.

• Zero Trust for Modern Work - We operationalize Zero Trust across Entra, Intune, Defender, Purview, and Sentinel - tying policies and telemetry to business objectives and change management so security supports productivity, not stifles it.

• Data Security Engagement with Purview Pak365™ - Many organizations don’t know where their sensitive data lives or how it’s shared. Our Purview‑powered engagement discovers dark data, insider risks, and compliance gaps, then guides actionable remediation and policy design.

• Threat Protection with Defender Pak365™ - A standardized, AI‑assisted implementation of Microsoft Defender across endpoints, email, and cloud apps - delivering unified, practical protection with a clear business case and rapid time to value.

• Proven outcomes and scale - With millions of users and thousands of workloads transitioned, our delivery model blends security, adoption, and continuous improvement - bringing both speed and rigor to enterprise‑grade transformations.

What this means for you - today

If you’re asking, “How do we minimize risk while we modernize?” - these specializations power practical answers:

• Identity confidence: Enforce the right access at the right time with risk signals and governance that keep auditors (and attackers) at bay.

• Threat resilience: Close gaps across devices, apps, email, and cloud with integrated telemetry and automated response that your team can actually run day‑to‑day.

• Accelerated AI adoption: Roll out Copilot with protections around data exposure and insider risk so productivity gains don’t create new vulnerabilities.

• Marketplace clarity: Engage with a partner whose specialization status makes discovery, procurement, and co‑sell programs smoother - and often more cost‑effective.

A quick, human thank‑you

This achievement reflects the commitment of our team, our customers who trusted us with their most critical systems, and Microsoft who continue to push the ecosystem forward. We’ve always believed transformation is about people - giving them secure tools and clear guardrails so they can do their best work.

The Ravanty team was one of the best, if not best, partners I have worked with over my 27+ years in IT. Their attention to detail and fanatical service was excellent and exactly the type of partner I want to continue working with in the future.
