Details:

Today, IT admins manually review trust data for Teams apps and agents in the Teams admin center to ensure they meet organizational security, privacy, and compliance standards. This feature introduces a scalable, automated evaluation process. Admins can define their organization’s trust requirements once, and the system will automatically assess each app and agent—generating a Trust Score and detailed evaluation report tailored to those requirements. This enables faster, more consistent decision-making by clearly identifying which apps and agents meet the organization’s standards and where further review is needed.

Imagine you are managing a team of people, and you need to ensure that everyone is following the same rules and standards. In the past, you might have had to check each person's work manually to make sure they were doing things correctly. This could be time-consuming and inconsistent, as it relied on your ability to catch every detail.

Now, think of Microsoft Teams as a busy office with many people coming and going, each using different tools and apps to get their work done. Just like in the office, it's important to make sure these tools are safe and meet your organization's standards for security, privacy, and compliance.

Previously, IT administrators had to manually review each app and agent used in Teams to ensure they were up to par. This was like having to check each employee's work individually, which could be slow and prone to human error.

The new feature in Microsoft Teams acts like an automated supervisor. It allows IT admins to set the rules or standards once, similar to creating a checklist for everyone to follow. Then, instead of checking each app and agent manually, the system automatically evaluates them against these standards. It generates a Trust Score, much like a report card, and provides a detailed evaluation report. This helps quickly identify which apps and agents are safe to use and which ones might need a closer look.

This automated process is like having a reliable assistant who can consistently and quickly review all the tools being used, ensuring they meet the necessary standards. It saves time and helps make more consistent decisions, just like having a standardized process in place for reviewing employee work.
