Power Platform
Low code application, automation and analytics tooling that requires governance because business users create production dependencies with it.
IntermediateMicrosoftUpdated 2026-09-01
Overview
Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Dataverse let non developers build applications and automations quickly. That capability is genuinely valuable and creates real operational and data-protection obligations.
Governance uses environments to separate development from production, data loss prevention policies to restrict which connectors may be combined, and a register of business critical flows with named owners.
Security considerations
- Apply connector DLP policies so corporate data cannot be routed to personal cloud services.
- Identify flows and apps that have become business critical and bring them under supported ownership.
