Power Platform Basic Governance
Environment strategy, DLP policies, and connector governance for your Power Platform. Control without slowing innovation.
Your Power Platform Is Growing — but Nobody Is Steering It
Power Apps, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio are powerful tools. But when citizen developers create apps and flows without oversight, shadow IT emerges: data flows through unsecured connectors, the default environment fills up with unused assets, and premium licenses get activated without approval.
This is not your IT team's failure. Microsoft ships Power Platform open by default — without governance configuration. The tools for control exist: DLP policies, Managed Environments, CoE Starter Kit. All that is missing is structured setup.
Organizations without governance see 3-4x higher rates of app sprawl and compliance violations. A single GDPR violation through an uncontrolled connector can result in six-figure fines.
