The Stride Uplift Mark™ is a Stride IT program mark. It indicates that a client has completed a signed self-assessment affirming they adhere to Stride IT Security Standard recommendations under our Continual Security Uplift Program, and that Stride IT has recorded that attestation at the stated review date. The Standard is informed by Microsoft 365 Business Premium capabilities, Microsoft Secure Score guidance, and selected industry frameworks (including ACSC Essential 8 concepts). It is not an Australian Cyber Security Centre certification, not a Microsoft endorsement, not a DISP approval, and not a guarantee of security or regulatory compliance. Proof for each issuer is published on this site and linked from the badge.
