Managing app security and compliance in Microsoft Teams just got easier! With recent updates in Teams Admin Center (TAC), IT admins can now quickly identify trusted apps and enforce organizational standards with confidence. These enhancements not only simplify governance but also underscore the value of Microsoft 365 Certification as a key trust driver. What Existed in TAC? Before the recent trust‑based enhancements, Teams Admin Center already provided foundational visibility into app trust through the Security & compliance tab in the app details experience. This surfaced key signals such as publisher information, permission scopes, data access, and links to security and compliance documentation, helping admins perform due diligence during app reviews. While these signals required manual review and cross‑checking, they established an important baseline for evaluating risk and compliance, reinforcing the role of TAC as the central place for governing apps in Microsoft Teams. What’s New in TAC? Trust Visibility Enhancements The new “Apps to Consider Allowing” tile highlights certified apps, publisher-attested apps, and those providing compliance evidence. This feature enables IT admins to quickly filter and identify apps that meet organizational standards. Security & Compliance Column and filters Amins can now view compliance attributes—such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, and penetration testing—directly in TAC. This helps admins speed up app reviews with trust-based filters and make informed choices without leaving the dashboard. Trust-based filters enable IT Administrators using Teams admin center to view and easily filter apps and agents by specific industry standards, certifications and compliance attributes such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and more. This will help to streamline app evaluation workflows, enabling broader access to trusted apps across the organization. Dedicated Collections Curated lists of certified apps and agents for easier discovery. Saves time by grouping trusted solutions in one place. Why It Matters For IT Admins: Streamlined governance, reduced risk, and faster compliance checks. For ISVs: Certification boosts visibility and credibility, helping apps stand out in a competitive marketplace. Call to Action Get certified to boost visibility and trust.
