Inforcer raises $35M to help managed service providers automate Microsoft 365 security for smaller firms
Microsoft 365 policy management platform startup inforcer Ltd. announced today that it has raised $35 million in new funding to help managed service providers scale up and automate deployment of Microsoft 365 security and artificial intelligence solutions across their small- to medium-sized business clients.
Founded in 2021 and based in the U.K., inforcer offers a policy automation and compliance management platform that has been purpose-built for MSPs and managed security service providers working with Microsoft 365 environments. The company has as its mission to simplify and centralize the process of securing and managing multiple Microsoft 365 tenants, allowing providers to maintain consistent security standards across hundreds or even thousands of clients.
Inforcer’s platform is built around a baseline policy engine designed to allow MSPs to define custom or framework-based security standards. The baselines can be monitored for drift to ensure that any deviation from the intended security posture is immediately flagged and can be remediated automatically.
It also offers automated backup and restore capabilities for Microsoft 365 configurations. Support for nightly backups include audit logs that allow MSPs to quickly revert to a known good state if a misconfiguration, internal error or malicious incident occurs, ideal for when something goes wrong.
Other inforcer services include include compliance auditing and reporting to help MSPs demonstrate value to clients. The company’s platform can generate easy-to-understand dashboards and reports that show how a tenant aligns with defined security standards, making it easier to prove compliance to auditors or justify managed security services.
Dawn Capital LLP led the Series B round, with Meritech Capital Partners LP also participating. As part of the deal, Evgenia Plotnikova, general partner at Dawn Capital, is joining inforcer’s board. “Inforcer has the potential to help MSPs capitalize on a tectonic technology platform shift by becoming true strategic AI partners to their end customers, small businesses,” Plotnikova said in a blog post.
The new funding follows a previous Series A raise by inforcer of $19 million in October 2024.
