We’re Joining #IntuneForMSPs 🎉
Being invited by Microsoft to join a global initiative is a big moment for us, and we want to be clear about why it matters. #IntuneForMSPs is Microsoft’s program to help MSPs deliver Microsoft 365, Intune, and Copilot services at scale, and CIPP is now part of it, bringing the largest MSP community in the channel directly to Microsoft.
This means:
- Formal recognition of CIPP’s role in the Microsoft ecosystem
- An even stronger Microsoft relationship that benefits every CIPP user
- A more direct path to influence how Microsoft builds for the channel
- More support for helping your customers become Copilot-ready on a secure foundation
- Access to a program that now includes 11,000+ MSPs and remains open to everyone, free of charge, with no gatekeeping
We’ve all seen communities that hide knowledge behind paywalls or subscription tiers. That’s a valid business model. It just isn’t ours.
At CyberDrain, every MSP stands on equal footing, whether you sponsor the project, self-host for free, or just joined the Discord today. That’s how we built a community 11,000+ MSPs strong, and that’s the community we’re bringing with us into #IntuneForMSPs.
What Is #IntuneForMSPs?
#IntuneForMSPs is a global Microsoft initiative designed to help MSPs deliver Microsoft 365, Intune, and Copilot services more efficiently, effectively, and profitably.
The program brings Microsoft together with a small group of MSP-focused vendors to improve how the channel operates. It focuses on integrated multi-tenant management, direct engagement with Microsoft’s product teams, stronger roadmap influence for MSPs, and helping providers build the secure foundations their customers need to adopt Intune, Copilot, and AI safely.
Microsoft was selective. The program is intentionally small. CIPP is part of it, and with us comes one of the largest and most engaged MSP communities in the channel.
What It Means for You
The relationship between CyberDrain and Microsoft is not new. Over the years, we’ve worked closely enough with Microsoft that entire APIs have been built with our product in mind. (Hi UTMC! Hi Graph team!)
What #IntuneForMSPs does is make that relationship more formal and, more importantly, extend its impact to you.
Our conversations with Microsoft’s Intune and Microsoft 365 product teams now carry even more weight when it comes to the things you need most. The problems raised in Discord, the features requested on GitHub, and the frustrations shared throughout the community all now have a clearer path to the people who can act on them.
We’ll also create more opportunities for you to engage directly with Microsoft through dedicated sessions, special programs, and conversations with the teams who want to understand exactly how MSPs use Microsoft products in the real world.
The Copilot opportunity is real, but unlocking it for your customers starts with secure, well-managed tenants. That’s exactly where CIPP’s standards engine comes in. #IntuneForMSPs gives that work formal recognition from Microsoft and creates a clearer commercial path for MSPs looking to build on it.
Microsoft Took a Peek Into Our Kitchen
Joining #IntuneForMSPs was not just a marketing exercise. Microsoft didn’t simply take our word for it. They carried out a technical assessment of CIPP, including our architecture, security practices, approach to multi-tenant data, use of their APIs, and how we build for MSPs.
We passed.
Not because we rushed to prepare for the review, but because this is how we’ve always built. CIPP is open source, which means anyone can inspect what we do. Microsoft’s review was thorough, and we came through it the way we expected to: by standing on the quality of the work we’ve already done.
What this gives the MSP channel is something solid to point to. When we say CIPP is built the right way, that claim now carries even more weight through the programs we’re part of. We’re proud to say Microsoft looked at what we built and said: yes, this is how it should be done.
What Doesn’t Change
CIPP remains open source, free, and community-driven.
Joining a Microsoft initiative does not change what CIPP is or how it works. The code stays on GitHub, and that is not changing.
What does change is that this community now has a stronger and more formal voice. We’re proud of that, and we’re proud of what it means for every MSP building with CIPP.
Come celebrate with us.
