Microsoft 365 App Certification
As the demand for Microsoft 365 (M365) apps continues to rise, so does the need for companies to demonstrate the security of their applications. Microsoft’s 365 App Certification program addresses this need, offering app developers a way to differentiate their products in the marketplace. At Blue Arca we assist organisations to achieve this certification to increase trust in their Microsoft Apps.
Understanding Microsoft 365 App Certification
As a Microsoft App developer you have completed the Publisher Attestation to publish your app. In addition, you came across The Microsoft 365 App Certification. This is a certification to ensure that Apps from the Microsoft App Source store comply with Microsoft’s security requirements. It increases trust in applications that run on Microsoft products and offers significant benefits for companies. This includes distinguished visibility within the Microsoft AppSource marketplace and enhanced credibility with users.
To receive this certification, companies must meet several criteria, including successful completion of a thorough security assessment and penetration test. It’s a demanding process, but with the right support, it can become significantly smoother.
