Connect APVISO with Microsoft Teams

How APVISO Integrates with Microsoft Teams

APVISO's Microsoft Teams integration delivers real-time security alerts and scan summaries directly into your Teams channels using rich Adaptive Card messages. For organizations that have standardized on Microsoft 365, this keeps vulnerability intelligence within your existing communication platform and compliance boundary.

Adaptive Card Notifications

Unlike plain-text webhook notifications, APVISO sends rich Adaptive Card messages to your Teams channels. Each finding notification includes a color-coded severity banner (red for Critical, orange for High, yellow for Medium, blue for Low), the vulnerability title and type, the affected URL, a brief description with key details, and action buttons to view the full finding or trigger a retest.

The visual format makes it easy to triage findings at a glance. A security engineer scrolling through their Teams feed can immediately identify the severity and nature of a vulnerability without clicking through to an external dashboard.

Channel-Based Routing for Enterprise Teams

Large enterprises often have complex Teams structures with dedicated channels for different functions. APVISO supports multiple webhook endpoints, each with its own notification rules:

• Security Operations Channel: Receives all Critical and High findings immediately, with @mention notifications
• Development Team Channel: Receives scan completion summaries with a link to the full report
• CISO Reporting Channel: Receives weekly digest cards showing security posture trends, open vulnerability counts, and remediation progress
• Incident Response Channel: Receives only Critical findings that may require immediate incident response procedures

Each webhook can have independent severity thresholds, event type filters (finding discovered, scan started, scan completed, report ready), and notification formats.

Scan Lifecycle Notifications

APVISO sends notifications at key points in the scan lifecycle. When a scan starts, Teams receives a card with the target URL, scan type, and estimated completion time. As the scan runs, Critical and High findings are posted in real-time. When the scan completes, a summary card shows the total findings by severity, scan duration, and a link to download the full PDF report.

For organizations that schedule regular scans, these lifecycle notifications provide visibility into the security testing cadence without anyone needing to log into the APVISO dashboard. Stakeholders know when scans run and what they find, all within the Teams channels they already monitor.

Digest Reports for Leadership

Security and engineering leadership often need a higher-level view than individual finding alerts. APVISO's Teams integration supports scheduled digest messages — daily or weekly summaries posted as Adaptive Cards that include:

• Number of scans completed in the period
• New vulnerabilities by severity
• Vulnerabilities verified as fixed via retests
• Oldest open vulnerabilities requiring attention
• Trending vulnerability categories across all targets

These digests give leadership the security posture context they need for risk decisions and resource allocation, delivered in the platform where they consume other business updates.

Integration with Microsoft Security Ecosystem

For organizations using Microsoft's security tools, the Teams integration complements other Microsoft 365 security features. Alerts from APVISO in Teams can be forwarded to Microsoft Sentinel via Power Automate for centralized security event management. You can also create automated workflows that take APVISO finding notifications and create tasks in Microsoft Planner, tickets in Azure DevOps, or records in SharePoint for audit compliance.

This composability is particularly valuable for regulated industries where security findings must be tracked in approved systems. APVISO provides the vulnerability intelligence, and Microsoft 365's automation tools route it into your compliance workflows.

Data Residency and Compliance

Because APVISO sends notifications via Teams webhooks, the message content is stored within your Microsoft 365 tenant and subject to your organization's data retention and compliance policies. For organizations with strict data residency requirements, this means security alerts are governed by the same policies as all other Teams communications — no additional data processing agreements needed for the notification channel.

The finding details shared via Teams are summary-level — full exploitation evidence and detailed reproduction steps remain in the APVISO platform, accessible only through authenticated links. This approach keeps sensitive security data behind proper access controls while still providing actionable context in Teams messages.
