Why is it important to audit third-party apps before migration to Enterprise Grid?

Auditing third-party apps before migration to Enterprise Grid is crucial primarily for ensuring compliance with security policies. This process helps organizations assess whether the applications meet their internal security standards and industry regulations, which is vital when handling sensitive information. With an increase in functionality and integrations in a platform like Enterprise Grid, utilizing third-party apps can introduce vulnerabilities if not properly vetted. By conducting an audit, organizations can identify potential risks associated with these applications, such as data exposure or non-compliance with regulatory requirements, and make informed decisions about their continued use.

While other factors such as cost efficiency, feature accessibility, or data management are important considerations, they are secondary to ensuring that the applications align with robust security protocols essential for protecting organizational data in an Enterprise Grid environment.
