Microsoft 365 GoDaddy Defederation in 1-Day
Finchloom
Regain Full Control of Microsoft 365 Without Migration or Downtime
Organizations that purchase Microsoft 365 through providers like GoDaddy often lose direct control over their tenant, limiting access, delaying changes, and creating ongoing dependency on third-party systems.
A Proven Approach to GoDaddy Tenant Defederation
Finchloom removes the third-party dependency and re-establishes your tenant under direct Microsoft control using Azure AD, while keeping users and data intact.
Our approach includes:
- Discovery & Assessment: Assess your GoDaddy-managed environment and identity setup.
- Defederation Execution: Remove the third-party identity provider and restore Azure AD.
- CSP Transition: Transition your tenant to Finchloom as your CSP.
- Validation & Enablement: Confirm admin access and readiness.
In many cases, this GoDaddy to Microsoft 365 process can be completed in a matter of hours without impacting operations.

What happens after defederation is complete?
Your tenant remains the same, but control is returned to your organization. You can manage users, licenses, security settings, and services directly in Microsoft 365 without going through a third party.
Does the defederation process include transition of email security services and/or email archiving services to Microsoft 365?

However, Finchloom offers additional services to help move third-party email security and archiving to Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Archiving.
