WHAT
By default, a Power Platform tenant is a wide-open playground for makers – great for adoption but a total nightmare for governance! Without proper controls, it can turn into a horror movie for admins, with unmanaged environments, shadow IT, and security risks lurking around every corner. In this session, we’ll dive into the best practices for governing Power Platform, covering critical topics like the CoE Starter Kit, tenant-wide settings, environment strategies, DLP policies, and managing citizen developers.

WHY
With Power Platform adoption skyrocketing, organizations need a governance strategy that balances innovation with control. These strategies need to be implemented proactively, as the default settings that a Power Platform tenant is created with is basically a Wild West. Microsoft continuously enhances governance features, and staying ahead of these updates is crucial for Power Platform admins and IT leaders. This session will help you establish guardrails that keep your environments secure, scalable, and sustainable. All of this without crushing the creativity of your makers.

HOW
This demo-heavy session will quickly cover the essentials via a few key slides before jumping into live demonstrations of governance tools. I’ll walk you through hands-on examples using the Power Platform Admin Center UI and PowerShell to configure policies, set up environments, enforce security, and monitor activity at scale.
