Power Platform Governance 101 - What you need to know

What do you need to cover, when starting with Power Platform Governance?
“It depends!” - Are you sick of this answer, too?

In this session you will learn the bare minimum of Power Platform Governance:

- Basic settings for your default environment to prevent chaos
- Minimal environment strategy which can be extended later on
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to ensure that no one overexposes data

🚨And this time we will include Copilot, AI builder as well as managed environments🚨

As a result, these fundamental measures guarantee a smooth and secure start with Power Platform.

The minimum concept of a Poewr Platform governance approach needed an updated, since Microsoft announced and published a lot of new features around governance, that basically turned everything upside down. Be prepared 😎
