EfficientEther today announced the latest release of EtherInsights, extending its Microsoft 365 and Azure platform with a growing set of assessments that IT teams and MSPs can run across the estate. Every assessment returns a score, the findings behind it, the owner of each gap, and evidence ready for a review, in minutes rather than the weeks a manual audit takes.

Two pressures, one honest assessment

The new assessments meet two pressures landing on the same teams at once: a growing threat landscape, and boards pushing to adopt AI quickly. Both start with an honest assessment of the tenant, yet the signals that answer them sit across separate admin centres and spreadsheets and drift out of date as soon as they are gathered. For MSPs, that work repeats across every customer.

What the release adds

The release adds these assessments to EtherInsights:

  • Microsoft 365 security posture: assess and track the tenant against Microsoft Security Baselines, CISA SCuBA, NSA CISS, and Zero Trust, with Secure Score and drift visible between reviews.
  • Copilot readiness: score a Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout across licensing, data governance, sensitivity labels, sharing, and Purview before users start prompting.
  • Intune reporting and troubleshooting: consolidate endpoint report families into one operating view, with per-device context and AI-assisted troubleshooting and remediation actions.
  • Tenant and user management: configuration, roles, risky identities, and offboarding in one governed workflow.
  • MSP GDAP support: run the same assessments across many tenants under Granular Delegated Admin Privileges, with a consistent evidence shape for every customer.

Each assessment sits alongside the cost and licensing intelligence EtherInsights is known for, so the same platform that surfaces risk and AI readiness also keeps reclaiming wasted Microsoft 365 and Azure spend.

Beyond assessment, EtherInsights carries teams into day-two operations across the estate, spanning tenant configuration backup and drift detection, Azure VM scheduling and right-sizing, Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 support, and device image, application, and update management, so one platform runs from finding a gap to acting on it.

"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."
