Microsoft Teams: Speed Up App Reviews with Trust-Based Filters

🚨 The Signal: Teams admins can now filter third-party apps by compliance certifications (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001). This streamlines app vetting, enabling faster deployment of trusted applications and reducing manual security review effort.

The Impact

Teams administrators are affected, reducing the risk of deploying non-compliant third-party applications.

• Teams Admins: Reduced effort in vetting third-party applications for compliance.
• Security Teams: Improved visibility into the compliance posture of approved Teams apps.
• Organisations: Lowered risk of introducing non-compliant software into the environment.

The Action

1. Navigate to Teams admin center > Teams apps > Manage apps.
2. Utilise the new filter options to sort apps by industry standards, certifications, and compliance attributes.
3. Review and update internal app approval policies to leverage these new filtering capabilities.
