Hello everyone,
As a PM who recently published a Teams app, I wanted to share my experience completing the Microsoft 365 Publisher Attestation and Microsoft 365 App Certification programs. These programs are designed to help developers publish trustworthy apps that customers can confidently adopt.
Completing the Publisher Attestation is a voluntary program where you complete a self-assessment of your app’s security, data handling, and compliance practices. The information you provide will be presented to your customers so they can better evaluate your app before enabling it for their organization. This program helps build trust with your clients and increase sales by making it easier for them to assess and adopt your app.
The Microsoft 365 Certification is a more rigorous program that includes a third-party audit of your app’s security and compliance practices. This certification provides additional benefits such as increased visibility in the marketplace and eligibility for co-selling opportunities with Microsoft.
By completing these programs, you can demonstrate to your clients that your app meets Microsoft’s high standards for security and compliance. This can help build trust with your clients and increase sales by making it easier for them to evaluate and adopt your app.
In conclusion, These programs help developers publish trustworthy apps that customers can confidently adopt. By completing these programs, you can demonstrate to your clients that your app meets Microsoft’s high standards for security and compliance. This can help build trust with your clients and increase sales by making it easier for them to evaluate and adopt your app.
I hope this helps!
