Opensense Outlook Add-in integration with GCC High environments

Overview

Opensense supports deployment in Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC) High environments. These are isolated, non-routed environments designed for federal agencies and organizations that handle sensitive government data. The Outlook Add-in deploys differently in GCC High than in standard commercial Microsoft 365.

Requirements

Exchange Online or Microsoft 365: Version 2104 (Build 13929.20296) or later, with API v1.10 support.
Modern Authentication: Must be turned on, for secure communication.
Custom manifest: The add-in is deployed with the GCC High-specific manifest URL.
Azure AD enterprise application: Used for directory synchronization in the isolated environment.

How GCC High deployment differs

Unlike standard commercial Microsoft 365 environments, GCC High needs:

Custom add-in deployment. Deploy the add-in manually in the Add-ins section of the Microsoft 365 admin center, with a GCC High-specific manifest file, instead of through the standard Integrated Apps portal.
A dedicated directory sync tool. A specialized Azure AD enterprise application, the Opensense GCC High Directory Sync tool, syncs directory information securely within the isolated GCC High environment.
Portal configuration. In the Opensense portal, turn on the Office 365 GCC High toggle, so that routing and authentication work correctly.
Proxy allowlisting. If your organization uses a web proxy, such as Zscaler, allowlist the Opensense domains that the add-in needs.

Getting help with deployment

GCC High deployments are specialized and have strict security requirements, so Opensense provides dedicated implementation support. For help with your GCC High deployment, contact your Opensense representative or help@opensense.com.
