 # Attest your apps
 
 
-
 Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps enables you to attest your app, so that you make sure that the compliance and security details we use to rate your app in our cloud app catalog are up to date.
 
 Whether your app is already listed in the cloud app catalog, or it's new, submit a [self-attestation questionnaire](https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR4CRHM-U7CtKpJma_QJAnSlUMEpLQzBaQ1hWNDMxUEhRNFI3Q0FZUkdWRC4u). For details on the self-attestation process, contact [email protected].

+
+# Submit an App Catalog update request
+
+To keep the Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (MDA) catalog accurate and secure, use the right submission method based on your relationship to the app and the type of update needed.
+
+## App owners or verified vendors
+
+If you're a verified app vendor or developer, complete the [Self-Attestation Questionnaire](https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR4CRHM-U7CtKpJma_QJAnSlUMEpLQzBaQ1hWNDMxUEhRNFI3Q0FZUkdWRC4u) to:
+
+- Add a new app to the catalog.
+
+- Update risk attributes.
+
+**While we review your request:**
+
+- If the app isn’t in the catalog, you can [add it as a custom app](cloud-discovery-custom-apps.md) in Cloud Discovery to monitor its usage in your environment.
+- If the app is listed but its risk score doesn’t reflect your organization’s security posture, you can manually [override the app’s risk score](risk-score.md#override-the-risk-score).
+
+## Nonowners requesting updates
+
+Even if you're not the app owner, you can help improve the app catalog's accuracy:
+
+- You can [request a risk score update](risk-score.md#customize-the-risk-score) for apps in use by your organization.
+- You can [suggest a change to the cloud app catalog](risk-score.md#suggest-a-change-to-the-cloud-app-catalog) if you find a new app in your environment that hasn't been scored by Defender for Cloud Apps, or if you want to request a review for a new risk factor, a score update, or outdated app data.
+
+## Validation and processing timeline
+
+We thoroughly validate all catalog update requests to ensure accuracy and relevance. All app catalog requests must meet these criteria:
+
+- The submitted domain must map to a known application.
+- The app must qualify as a SaaS product.
+- The request must include complete and verifiable information.
+
+We typically update the catalog within three weeks of receiving your request.
+
+## All other requests
+
+For general inquiries, metadata corrections, or update requests that don’t fall into the previous categories, [open a support ticket](/defender-cloud-apps/support-and-ts)
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> We review support tickets on a case-by-case basis. They aren’t a fast track for catalog updates but help capture edge cases or routing issues needing broader investigation.
