Why govern Power Apps with Rencore

Control app sprawl and ownership

Detect canvas apps without owners, apps inactive for 90 days, apps not published in the last year, apps without descriptions, apps shared with more than 100 users, and apps shared with everyone. Prioritize cleanup by usage and exposure.

Surface premium-license risk

Flag apps requiring a premium license, apps relying on grandfathered premium APIs, connections using a premium API tier, and custom connectors classified as premium. Right-size your Power Platform spend before audit.

Govern DLP, connectors, and consent

Find DLP policies that block no connectors, default-to-General DLP, custom connectors without privacy policy or maintainer contact, on-premise connections, and apps and connections that bypass user consent. Close the gaps before sensitive data leaks.

Manage solutions and Power Pages

Inventory unmanaged solutions, solutions owned by the default publisher, solutions without a publisher prefix or identifiable owner, plus inactive or trial Power Pages sites and production sites without a custom domain.

How Power Apps governance works in Rencore

Rencore connects to Power Apps via the Power Platform API and inventories eight object types: environments, canvas apps, connections, app versions, DLP policies, custom connectors, solutions, and Power Pages sites. The 38 policies run on every scan cycle, evaluating each object against sprawl, licensing, DLP, connector, solution, and Power Pages rules with severity levels.

Who uses Power Apps governance

M365 product owners use the 23 reusable segments and 25 reports to size the citizen-developer footprint and right-size premium licensing. IT administrators rely on DLP and custom-connector policies to keep sensitive data inside approved boundaries. CISOs use consent-bypass and on-premise connection policies as part of broader Power Platform risk reviews. The output complements Power Automate and Power BI governance for a unified Power Platform view.

Getting started

Connect your Microsoft 365 tenant. All 38 Power Apps policies activate on first scan alongside your existing M365 governance, with no per-environment configuration required. Reports cover apps by environment, premium-API usage, DLP scope, and Power Pages status, so platform owners can see exposure at a glance.

Policies

Power Apps that bypass user consent
Apps with BypassConsent skip the connector consent prompt and silently use shared credentials.
High Security
Power App connections that bypass consent
Connections with ByPassConsent skip prompting end users for consent before sharing credentials.
High Security
DLP policy covers all environments but blocks no connectors
An all-environments DLP policy without blocked connectors offers no real protection.
High Security
Solutions owned by the default publisher

Frequently asked questions

What governance areas does Rencore cover?
Rencore covers six governance pillars: visibility and inventory across all Microsoft 365 services, ready-to-go policies with over 100 pre-built governance checks, compliance and audit evidence collection for regulatory requirements, extensibility and customization through custom policies and automations, cross-department collaboration with shared dashboards and role-based access, and AI and Copilot readiness to prepare tenants for secure AI adoption.
What is Rencore governance?
Rencore governance is a SaaS platform that continuously monitors your Microsoft 365 tenant for policy violations, configuration drift, and security risks across SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform, Copilot, and AI Agents. It automates compliance evidence collection, surfaces oversharing and sprawl, and provides actionable remediation workflows, reducing manual audit effort by up to 80%.
How do Rencore policies work?
Rencore ships with hundreds of pre-built policies that detect governance violations across every connector, oversharing, sprawl, cost overruns, security risks, and compliance gaps. Policies run on a continuous schedule, evaluate each discovered object against configurable rules, and flag violations with severity (High, Medium, Low), category, and a recommended action.
