Inforcer secures $50M to expand Microsoft 365 security tools for MSPs
London-based Inforcer, launched in 2023, announced on Thursday a $50 million Series C led by Insight Partners. Its platform lets managed service providers manage Microsoft 365 environments for multiple SMB customers. The company has raised $110 million across three rounds in 18 months.
Why MSP infrastructure is under pressure
Small businesses often lack the budget for an internal IT department and rely on MSPs instead. As AI adoption and cyber threats increase, those providers must support more customers while managing identity, data governance, unauthorised software and fast-moving attacks.
Attackers now use AI to identify targets and LLMs to produce more convincing phishing messages. This makes scalable security capabilities increasingly important for MSPs serving companies with limited technical staff.
Growth, products and pricing
Inforcer says its business is growing 300% year over year. CEO Jamie Daum also said its valuation doubled between the Series B and Series C, although the company did not disclose the figure.
“For SMBs, that means facing threats that are more automated, more scalable and harder to defend against than we’ve ever seen before.”
Funding has primarily supported product development, including Shadow AI detection for unauthorised AI tools and a threat detection and response product. Inforcer also plans further expansion in the US.
The 365 Manager was priced per customer, but the new security product is moving towards per-user pricing. Future AI features could use consumption- or token-based models. Inforcer will remain focused on Microsoft products and positions itself as complementary to Microsoft.
What this means for SMBs
For business owners, outsourced IT is no longer only a cost-saving choice. MSP selection should now cover AI governance, real-time threat detection and visibility across Microsoft 365. Contracts and budgets must also anticipate a shift from fixed client fees towards per-user or usage-based pricing.
