Microsoft Teams is introducing a new feature that will help IT administrators quickly evaluate and approve apps by using trust-based filters. Imagine you're shopping for a new car. Instead of test-driving every single model, you can narrow down your choices by filtering for specific features you trust, like safety ratings or fuel efficiency. Similarly, with this new feature, IT administrators can filter apps based on industry standards and certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.

This means that rather than manually reviewing each app to ensure it meets your organization's compliance needs, you can rely on these filters to quickly identify apps that are already aligned with trusted standards. This streamlines the process, much like how using filters when shopping online helps you find products that meet your criteria faster.

By implementing these trust-based filters, organizations can make quicker decisions about which apps to use, ensuring they are compliant and secure, while also broadening access to a wider range of trusted applications. This approach helps organizations maintain compliance and security without the need for lengthy manual evaluations, similar to how a trusted brand label can speed up your decision-making process when buying a product.
