BUI, a multi-award-winning technology consultancy, has been recognized as a finalist for the Diversity in Security award at the 2025 Microsoft Security Excellence Awards. The winners will be announced on April 28, 2025, during a gala dinner in San Francisco, California.
BUI announced its finalist status today, marking the company’s recognition among a global field of industry leaders. Microsoft acknowledges partners who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in the security landscape over the past year.
“As a managed security service provider operating on three continents, BUI is committed to maintaining an inclusive workplace where individuals from different backgrounds can advance and succeed,” said Gayle Roseveare, Chief Operating Officer at BUI. “We know that a diverse team contributes a wealth of perspectives, experiences and ideas, particularly in the world of security. We’ve developed people-focused policies to ensure our hiring and talent management processes are equitable, impartial and transparent. Being chosen as a finalist in the Diversity in Security category this year acknowledges our continuous efforts to ensure that every member of our team feels accepted, valued and empowered to help our customers improve their security and resilience. We’re honoured to be recognised for making a difference in our communities and our industry.”
This year marks the sixth year Microsoft is recognizing partners for their outstanding work in the security landscape. All finalists are members of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), and ecosystem of independent software vendors (ISVs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs) that have integrated their security products and services with Microsoft’s security technology.
Maria Thomson, Director, Microsoft Intelligent Security Association, shared her congratulations for this year’s finalists. “These awards recognise the outstanding achievements of our Microsoft Intelligent Security Association members as they improve customers’ ability to identify and respond to security threats. Our community is made up of the most reliable and trusted security vendors worldwide. This year, we received hundreds of quality submissions from partners and Microsoft stakeholders, so this year’s finalists stood out in a crowd of exceptional talent. It’s my pleasure to acknowledge and celebrate their work over the past year.”
MISA was established to bring together Microsoft leaders, ISVs and MSSPs to work together to defeat security threats and make the world a safer place. Industry veterans in MISA and Microsoft will vote to select the winners of the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards.
