This milestone is an achievement to the hard work and dedication of the Apps 365 team, who spent over six months in rigorous development, testing, and coordination to meet Microsoft’s security and compliance requirements.

From engineers and developers to security experts, the entire Apps 365 team poured their heart and soul into this project.

“We are proud of our team, who worked tirelessly over the past 3 to 6 months to meet Microsoft’s security and compliance standards,” said Manoj Kumar, CEO of Apps 365. “This certification means more than just a stamp of approval; it is a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and emotional investment our entire team put into ensuring our clients can trust us with their most sensitive information.”

The Microsoft 365 App Certification

The Microsoft 365 App Certification confirms that an app solution is compliant with the highest security and privacy standards as outlined in the Microsoft 365 Certification Submission Guide. This means that users of Microsoft certified apps can trust that their internal data and sensitive information are secured and fully protected.

The certification is granted after a rigorous, annual review by a team of expert analysts across four key security domains:

Application Security:

This includes Graph API Permission Validation, ensuring that the app does not request overly permissive permissions and that all permissions are properly justified. Apps 365 ensures that all permissions requested are aligned with operational requirements and user privacy.

Operational Security:

This domain validates that the app’s infrastructure and deployment processes align with industry-leading security best practices. This includes Malware Protection, Vulnerability Scanning, Patch Management, Event Logging & Monitoring, Change Control, and Risk Management. Apps 365’s operations ensure ongoing vigilance across these areas, providing reliable and secure solutions to its customers.

Data Handling Security and Privacy:

Apps 365 guarantees that data in transit, data at rest, data retention and disposal, and data access management adhere to GDPR, Microsoft’s TLS Profile and Encryption Profile Configuration Requirements. Customer data is securely handled at all stages, giving them peace of mind when using Apps 365 products.

Optional External Compliance Frameworks:

The certification also validates external compliance frameworks provided during the review, including ISO/IEC 27001, and SOC 2. Apps 365 ensures that its processes meet or exceed these internationally recognized standards.
