Microsoft Application Review (mARC)
Overview and Key Features:
University of Toronto staff and faculty can request access to third-party applications that integrate with their U of T Microsoft 365 accounts. When the request is approved by the requester’s divisional IT administrator, it will be subject to review by the University’s Application Review Committee (ARC).
To maintain a secure integration of third-party applications and add-ins with Microsoft 365 products, we have implemented a comprehensive review process which includes the following steps:
- Approval by Divisional IT Administrators: Your requested third-party application or add-in will be subject to approval by your divisional IT administrator(s). They will assess its compatibility with our existing systems and evaluate its potential benefits for the division.
- Evaluation by the Application Review Committee (ARC): Our dedicated Application Review Committee (ARC) will carefully evaluate the suitability of the requested application or add-in.
- Risk Assessment by Information Security: As part of our commitment to security, our Information Security team will conduct a thorough risk assessment of the proposed application or add-in to identify and mitigate potential security risks.
