EfficientEther, the Microsoft-focused software company behind EtherInsights, EtherAssist, and EtherApps Forge, today set out its next phase: doubling down on Microsoft management while stepping into the two questions now landing on the same IT teams at the same time, security posture and AI readiness. The company is extending EtherInsights, its Microsoft 365 and Azure management platform, with assessments that score a tenant’s cybersecurity posture and its readiness for Microsoft 365 Copilot, then hand back the findings, the owner of each gap, and evidence ready for a review. Not in weeks. In minutes.
Two pressures are converging on the teams that run the Microsoft estate: a threat landscape that keeps expanding, and boards pressing to adopt AI quickly. Both questions start in the same place, with an honest assessment of the tenant. Yet the signals that answer them sit scattered across separate admin centres and spreadsheets, and they drift out of date almost as soon as they are gathered. Answering both means pulling the same evidence together again and again as it changes. For managed service providers, that work repeats across every customer estate, multiplying with each tenant under management.
EfficientEther’s answer is to put both questions on the platform IT teams already use to control Microsoft 365 and Azure cost. EtherInsights now assesses security posture against Microsoft Security baselines, CISA SCuBA, NSA CISS, and Zero Trust. It scores Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness across licensing, data governance, sensitivity labels, sharing, and Purview. And it consolidates Intune endpoint reporting with AI-assisted troubleshooting. Everything runs under one governed workflow and, for MSPs, across many tenants under Granular Delegated Admin Privileges.
“We set out to make the Microsoft estate visible: to show IT teams precisely where cost and licences were leaking and what to do about it. Security posture and AI readiness are now the questions every board is asking, and no team should have to answer them with an audit that is out of date the day it lands. EtherInsights returns a score, an owner, and the evidence to act, in minutes. We are doubling down on Microsoft management, and keeping what matters most firmly in sight.”
Ryan Mangan, CEO, EfficientEther
The expansion sits alongside the cost and licensing intelligence EtherInsights is known for, so the same platform that surfaces risk keeps reclaiming wasted Microsoft 365 and Azure spend, and extends into day-two operations across the whole estate. EtherInsights is priced simply at £0.79 / $1 / €1 per active user, with volume pricing on request, and is available directly and through EfficientEther’s channel partners across the UK, Ireland, and the Nordics. EfficientEther holds ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, and ISO/IEC 42001 certifications.
