LOS ANGELES, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mission, a CDW company and U.S.-based Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Tier Services and ISV Accelerate Partner, announced today that it has successfully renewed its Amazon Web Services (AWS) Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) Competency status (previously AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency). This designation recognizes that Mission has successfully met AWS's stringent requirements for delivering turnkey security outcomes as a fully managed service, with foundational capabilities in providing 24/7 threat detection. Mission has held the Managed Security Service Provider Competency since 2021 and has been recognized as the AWS Security Partner of the Year for the past two consecutive years, further validating its expertise in cloud security solutions.

"Maintaining the AWS Managed Security Service Provider Competency reinforces Mission's commitment to helping customers enhance their security posture while building and scaling on AWS," said Ted Stuart, President and COO at Mission. "Our team remains focused on delivering consistent, reliable cloud and AI solutions that support compliance initiatives and align with AWS best practices."

Mission provides managed service packages to help organizations optimize, support, operate, and secure their AWS environments. Its offerings range from cost management, cloud governance, and on-demand DevOps to enterprise support and technical account management. They include continuous monitoring, alert response, and adherence to AWS best practices. Mission's security capabilities are further enhanced through its partnership with CrowdStrike, delivering Mission Cloud Secure—a fully-managed Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) solution that provides 24/7 protection to stop cloud breaches.

In addition to managed cloud services, Mission also delivers professional services to support companies' broader AWS cloud initiatives, including cloud migration, application modernization, innovation with generative AI, and strategic adoption of emerging AWS technologies.

"Mission checks all the boxes I need. The services are strong, the team is responsive, and they stay on top of the platform. I sleep better at night knowing Mission is paying attention," Chris Jewer, SVP, Engineering and Enterprise Architect at Volly.

AWS introduced this standard of quality for managed security services to benefit cloud environments of any size and provide customers end-to-end security, compliance, and risk management solutions, leveraging AWS native services and validated third-party tools.

AWS launched the new AWS MSSP Competency to enable customers to easily acquire turnkey security outcomes aligned to use case categories, validated by AWS. AWS security experts validate the tools used and operational processes of each MSSP to address specific cloud security challenges, such as continuous event monitoring, triaging, AWS service configuration best practices and 24/7 incident response. The AWS MSSP Competency provides a faster and easier experience for customers to select the right MSSP to help them achieve their goals for business risk and cloud strategy confidence.
