How Infinity Group cut tenant hardening time by 95%

Infinity Group is responsible for managing a large number of Microsoft 365 tenants across many different areas of Microsoft 365. Previously, they were using open-source solutions such as Microsoft365 DSC for its tenant configuration and management, along with JSON templates and PowerShell scripts to help automate processes.  

These interim solutions did not allow them to automate, standardize or quality-control multi-tenant deployment. They required a high level of overhead maintenance, giving only limited visibility and control and becoming extremely error-prone when used at scale. On top of this, Infinity Group had to heavily rely on individual engineering experts who spent huge amounts of time and energy managing hundreds of scripts for multi-tenant environments.  

Infinity Group needed a specialised solution which would allow them to manage their existing productized 365 security offering with much greater ease - which is exactly why they turned to inforcer. 

inforcer allows Infinity Group to standardize their approach to tenant deployment. This means that they can now configure at scale, while tracking changes across tenants to streamline quality control, and maintaining alignment wit defined parameters. This eliminates the need for scripts, templates, and additional third-party solutions such as JSON templates and PowerShell scripts.

With inforcer, Infinity Group has access to a single, scalable console to enforce standards, deploy policies instantly across tenants, and maintain continuous Microsoft 365 alignment with real‑time visibility and AI insight.

Infinity Group no longer need to navigate the Partner Centre, neither do they have to run multiple browser sessions. They save huge amounts of time with inforcer's Reporting function, which allows them to export data from multiple tenants from just a single pane of glass. They can gain detailed and comprehensive reports which provide information on whether tenants meet security and configuration standards, giving them actionable insights and remediation through clear executive summaries.

Since using inforcer, Infinity Group feels confident that it is using the Business Premium security stack correctly, and in a standardized way across all their client base. 

Previously, deployments were highly variable and were based on the engineer executing the work. This took up valuable time and resource, making for an inefficient process. Now, as a result of normalizing deployments and strengthening quality control with inforcer, the value Infinity Group deliver to customers has improved significantly. 

Infinity Group has saved time and streamlined internal processes, freeing up resources to focus on more strategic, value-added services that their clients truly care about. 

With inforcer, they have reduced policy deployment times by nearly 99.5%, from 15 hours to five minutes for each new client. Alongside this, tenant hardening times have been cut from 80 hours to four, whilst eliminating annual costs of over £600,000 on endpoint security alone.  

Policy drift instances have been identified, with security vulnerabilities closed. Infinity group has upskilled all users and also implemented a new workplace strategy focus, all thanks to inforcer.
