Seamlessly integrate tools, workflows, and AI across every environment: global, sovereign, private, classified, and disconnected

The tools operators need aren’t available in every environment. At best, you have a swivel chair situation. At worst, you’re delayed and even blocked in your most critical moments.

Embedding Mattermost in Microsoft Teams lets you unify and share tools across mixed infrastructure while meeting granular data, classification, and access control requirements.

Extend your Microsoft investments with a Mattermost platform built for the specialized needs of critical infrastructure.

Enterprise collaboration to the edge

Retain full on-prem or private cloud control of all messages, files, voice, and screen share inside Mattermost deployed on Azure Arc, bringing collaboration to the tactical edge.

Integrate general and specialized tools seamlessly

Interoperate with key technical and operational systems, from COTS to custom tools and legacy software using your method of choice: APIs, webhooks, or the established plugin architecture.

Integrate general purpose and specialized workflows

Combine integrations and flows between Teams and Mattermost to enable native playbooks and mission SOPs without context switching or separate logins.

Effective human-machine teaming fully under enterprise control

Leverage Azure AI models directly in channels, in direct messages, and with playbooks to accelerate workflows using cloud or on-premises models with Foundry Local.

Resilience to global infrastructure events

Enable out-of-band communication and workflows within your organization-controlled infrastructure during global outage incidents and other DDIL situations.

Enterprise-to-edge Microsoft integration with Mattermost

Integrate your critical tools into the workflows where your teams already operate

Mattermost integrated with Microsoft 365 extends secure collaboration beyond the reach of global infrastructure, bringing consistent and secure workflows, agility, and mission-critical communication to private cloud and disconnected environments. Operators get a unified operational picture from enterprise headquarters to the tactical edge, including air-gapped and DDIL environments where Microsoft alone can’t follow.

Purpose-built tools and workflows that follow the mission, in every environment

Mattermost extends your existing Microsoft Azure investment into IL5 and IL6 environments where standard cloud collaboration can’t follow. Built for teams needing data sovereignty, secure workflows, and consistent tooling across air-gapped and disconnected networks, it complements Microsoft solutions for high-security, intermittently connected operations.

Using Azure Arc and Foundry Local, data stays isolated and under your control, while Foundry-managed models bring local AI inference to accelerate mission-critical workflows—no cloud dependency required.

Incident response coordination

Accelerate incident response with isolated, out-of-band coordination

Security incidents produce sensitive data requiring strict access controls and a coordination channel separate from the systems under threat. Mattermost provides that environment: a segmented, out-of-band space with one-way sync from enterprise to edge, ensuring sensitive data never exits.

Pairing Mattermost with Microsoft blends the enterprise and high-security worlds with fine-grained control, information flow, and auditing so teams know where their data is and isn’t. Integrations with critical security tooling let operators automate signals from Microsoft Security Suite and third-party tools using Mattermost Playbooks for control, coordination, and reporting.

Any environment. Any system. One collaboration layer.

Command & Control

Interconnected environments with advanced information controls and sovereign AI.

Enable mission-critical coordination at the edge by deploying Mattermost in secure, on-prem, or air-gapped environments integrated with Microsoft Teams. Use Mattermost Cross Guard to synchronize data across classification levels and allied environments in a unified interface. Leverage Foundry Local to enable AI-powered workflows while keeping your most sensitive data under your strictest controls.

In August 2021, the US Air Mobility Command drove more on-time departures when 79.5% of personnel adopted Mattermost to enhance access to flight plans, routing, and operational communications.

Cybersecurity Operations

Out-of-band incident response for Microsoft-centric environments.

Maintain operational continuity during global infrastructure incidents and in DDIL scenarios with a dedicated out-of-band instance for secure incident response. Achieve faster coordination, assessment, and resolution using collaborative Playbooks combined with the Microsoft Security Suite to evaluate, track, and audit a response from first signal to final report.

At NATO Locked Shields 2026, blue teams coordinated more than 150 operators against thousands of simultaneous real-time attacks using AI agents to assess alerts and accelerate responses.

DevSecOps | Agile Development

Ship software quickly, securely, and efficiently.

Increase the focus and efficiency of developers, security engineers, and system operators starting at identity with Entra ID and extending through the SDLC with GitHub, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Defender, and more. Unify detection, evaluation, and response in a dedicated instance to isolate sensitive information while keeping the team working in one place.

A global media company switched to Mattermost for DevOps and business continuity to aggregate and resolve signals earlier in the process, preventing $100,000 per minute in potential losses.
