Updated October 23, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
By consolidating information from multiple sources in one place, this feature will provide admins responsible for the Microsoft Teams app and Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 extension deployment with comprehensive security and certification information for faster assessment of compliance with tenant security standards. The information will include outcomes from specific Microsoft 365 certification tests and evidence, as available, submitted by ISVs during Microsoft's audit of their app or Copilot extension. Also, for non-certified apps, admins will receive details on data handling, security, and compliance as self-attested by the ISV. This feature is available in the Teams admin center (TAC) and the Microsoft 365 admin center (MAC).
