UK-based inforcer has closed a $50 million Series C funding round led by Insight Partners, with continued backing from existing investors Meritech Capital and Dawn Capital.
The company builds a unified platform for managing Microsoft security and AI across managed service providers (MSPs). Its system lets MSPs oversee Microsoft 365 security, compliance and AI services for multiple clients from a single control plane, allowing them to standardise deployments and offer these services to small and medium-sized businesses.
As demand for Microsoft security and AI tools has increased, inforcer has broadened its platform with features such as Copilot Manager, Shadow AI detection, and Threat Detection & Response (TDR). According to the company, these tools help MSPs detect and respond to threats from both people and AI-assisted attacks, while supporting the governance and rollout of AI services.
