HubStar named as Microsoft partner in implementing latest security protocols for workplace technology

HubStar has been named a Microsoft partner in implementing the new Nested App Authentication (NAA) security protocol after Microsoft’s deprecation of Exchange Online legacy tokens in February 2025.

The partnership recognizes HubStar’s early adoption of Microsoft’s enhanced security standards for Outlook add-ins, as detailed in Microsoft’s recent technical documentation. This proactive implementation ensures HubStar’s workplace platform will continue to operate seamlessly as legacy tokens are turned off.

HubStar’s dynamic workplace platform has fully integrated the new authentication protocol across all Outlook-integrated features, including desk booking, room scheduling, and team collaboration tools, providing enterprise-grade security without disruption to client operations.

“Being recognized by Microsoft for our early implementation of their enhanced security protocol demonstrates our commitment to providing secure, reliable workplace solutions,” said Huw Davies, Director of Product at HubStar. “This partnership ensures our clients can continue optimizing their hybrid workplaces with confidence, knowing their systems are protected by the latest security standards.”

The NAA protocol enables single sign-on for applications nested inside Outlook, providing better security and greater flexibility in app architecture, compared to existing authentication models. As one of the early adopters, HubStar’s dynamic workplace platform has already completed the transition, ensuring uninterrupted service for clients.

“Security is a foundational element of our dynamic workplace platform,” added Davies. “By partnering with Microsoft on this important security update, we’re reinforcing our commitment to creating workplace technology that not only enhances productivity and collaboration but also maintains the highest standards of data protection.”

Organizations using HubStar’s platform will automatically benefit from this enhanced security without any action required on their part, demonstrating HubStar’s dedication to providing frictionless workplace technology.
