MICROSOFT TEAMS APP SECURITY · EMBEDDED IN MobSTR

Know the apps inside
Microsoft Teams.

Third-party apps inside Microsoft Teams introduce their own permissions, connections and data-handling responsibilities. OpenGates brings these findings into MobSTR so you can assess each app against its business purpose and the environment it supports.

Focus the review

Keep the apps that matter to your organisation together in the pinned view.

Prioritise with context

Consider findings alongside data access, business criticality and the sensitivity of the environment in which the app is used.

Follow the evidence

Open an app to examine its manifest, permissions, configuration and supporting documentation.

SECURITY ANALYSIS

Understand the finding.
See the next step.

Security findings bring together a category, check identifier, severity, risk score and recommendation. Move from a broad app rating to the specific evidence behind it.

Checks can highlight outdated manifests, sensitive data in tab URLs, permissions that need justification, full-trust settings and missing compliance evidence. Review the context before deciding what action is appropriate.

PERMISSIONS

See the access
an app requests.

The permissions view explains requested access in plain language, alongside its risk level. Review identity access, messaging permissions and device permissions without having to interpret the manifest alone.

Compare the requested access with the app’s purpose and your organisation’s requirements. Use that evidence to support approval, restriction or further investigation.

CONFIGURATION

Understand where
the app can connect.

Review valid domains, domain types and their risk assessments. See the manifest version, default install scope and configuration fields that describe how the application is intended to operate.

This brings external connections and manifest settings into the same review as security findings and permissions, helping your team spot configuration that deserves attention.

COMPLIANCE & DOCUMENTATION

Keep the supporting
evidence close.

See the recorded security compliance status and follow links to the publisher’s privacy policy, terms of use and documentation when available. Missing information is visible, so the reviewer knows where further evidence is needed.

OpenGates provides assessment and oversight. Your team uses the findings to make access and policy decisions in its existing Microsoft 365 processes.
