PTP Achieves AWS Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) Competency Status

July 11, 2025 – PTP, a Life Sciences Cloud MSP/MSSP, announced today that it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) Competency status in the Solution Provider category. This designation recognizes that PTP has successfully met AWS’s requirements for delivering turn-key security outcomes as a fully managed service, with foundational capabilities in providing 24x7 threat detection.

This standard of quality for managed security services was introduced by AWS 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 AWS MSSP Competency to enable customers to easily acquire turn-key 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 24x7 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.

“We’re proud to achieve the AWS MSSP Competency, which reinforces our commitment to delivering secure, compliant, and scalable solutions tailored for the life sciences industry,” said Rick Pitcairn, VP of Managed Services at PTP. “This designation reflects the depth of our security expertise and our focus on helping biotech and life sciences clients protect sensitive research data while accelerating innovation in the cloud.”

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify AWS Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.
