Inforcer Raises $50M Series C to Arm MSPs Against AI Threats in Microsoft 365

London-based Inforcer has closed a $50 million Series C funding round, bringing its total capital raised to $110 million across three rounds in just 18 months . The round was led by global software investor Insight Partners, with participation from existing backers Meritech Capital and Dawn Capital .

Inforcer builds a unified, multi-tenant control plane purpose-built for managed service providers (MSPs) to manage Microsoft 365 security, compliance, and AI services across their small and medium-sized business (SMB) customer base . The funding was announced on July 30, 2026, and will support platform expansion as MSPs face growing demand for AI governance and security services .

Why MSPs need a dedicated Microsoft security and AI platform

Most small businesses cannot afford an in-house IT security team, so they outsource IT management to MSPs . As Microsoft expands its AI capabilities — particularly Microsoft 365 Copilot — MSPs need dedicated tools to govern AI usage, detect shadow AI, and respond to both human-led and AI-assisted cyber threats across hundreds of client tenants .

Inforcer’s platform gives MSPs a single pane of glass for tasks that previously required multiple disconnected tools. Co-founder and CEO Jamie Daum reported a 300% year-over-year business growth rate, and the company doubled its valuation between its Series B and C rounds .

Key capabilities: Copilot Manager, Shadow AI, and TDR

Inforcer’s platform includes three flagship capabilities aimed at the intersection of Microsoft security and AI management :

• Copilot Manager: A tool for governing Microsoft 365 Copilot usage across client organizations, helping MSPs enforce policies and monitor adoption.
• Shadow AI detection: Identifies unauthorized or unmanaged AI tools being used within a client’s environment, a growing risk for SMBs.
• Threat Detection & Response (TDR): Real-time monitoring and automated response to security incidents, covering both traditional and AI-assisted attack vectors.

These tools are designed to be delivered as repeatable services that MSPs can offer across their entire SMB customer base, improving operational economics while reducing risk .

Investor confidence and market momentum

The participation of Insight Partners — a firm with portfolio experience across cloud, security, and infrastructure companies including Kaseya, Veeam, SentinelOne, and Darktrace — signals strong investor confidence in the MSP security and AI governance market . Inforcer was founded in 2022 by Jamie Daum, Richard Thompson, and William Connor . The company plans to use the new capital for product development and expansion of its operations and customer base .
