Take control of citizen-built apps and automations before they become the next sprawl
See every Power App, flow, Power BI report and Copilot agent your people build, rank the ones that carry risk or cost, then enforce policy or retire them. Rencore Governance gives you one control plane across the Power Platform, so you reduce risk, stay compliant and keep costs predictable.
Every app, automation, and report, under one control plane
Inventory, govern, and enforce across the Power Platform apps, flows, and BI your teams build, before they become the next sprawl.
Apps, Automation and BI
Power Platform & Low-Code
Bring the apps, flows, and reports your teams build into one inventory ranked by risk, so self-service keeps its speed without unmanaged sprawl or license waste.
The risks of unmonitored Power Platform solutions
Uncontrolled Self-Service
Self-service solutions alleviate the workload of the technical team but place the responsibility squarely on the administrators. A self-service approach, with no clear ownership or oversight, can lead to duplicate reports, inconsistent data, and difficulty maintaining a single source of truth.
Data exposure and oversharing
With the ease of creating and sharing apps, workflows and reports, it can be challenging to maintain proper security and access control. The lack of provisioning and access reviews can lead to unauthorized access and sharing of sensitive data.
Access chaos across Microsoft 365
Without scoped provisioning and role-based governance, apps, workflows and more can gain access to documents, chats, emails, or systems they shouldn’t. Lacking visibility and traceability, IT teams struggle to understand who has access to what and why.
Excessive Power Platform cost
Power Platform costs are unpredictable from complex licensing tariffs to the connectors that hold your solutions together. Costs quickly escalate as more users adopt, create and build out their own solutions. It's essential to manage these costs and ensure that they align with the organization's budget.
Compliance breaches
Power Platform usage must still meet GDPR, the EU AI Act, and internal standards. But without proper governance, actions performed by no code/ low-code solutions can fall outside compliant boundaries and expose your organization to audit or legal risk.
How Rencore solves Power Platform governance challenges
Rencore brings enterprise-grade governance to every corner of your Power Platform landscape. With full control over both no-code/ low-code actions.
Optimize cost management
Flows and Power Apps can use standard and premium components such as connectors, custom connectors, triggers, and the common data service. However, it’s not easy to identify these at scale. Identify your premium licenses and keep costs under control.
Resolve accountability issues
Unclear accountability makes it difficult to resolve business-critical issues quickly. Highlighting newly created Flows and Power Apps, those without owners, and ones not shared with service accounts, keeps solutions assigned and resolved.
Many platform teams reach this point after outgrowing the Microsoft Power Platform Center of Excellence Starter Kit, which Microsoft stopped actively maintaining in May 2026. Our comparison of Power Platform Center of Excellence alternatives sets out where the Starter Kit stops and what an enforced ownership and lifecycle model adds on top of the native admin center.
Prevent data oversharing
With the ease of creating and sharing apps, reports, dashboards and Copilots, it can be challenging to maintain proper security and access control. This can lead to unauthorized access and sharing of sensitive data. Rencore Governance ranks the apps, reports, dashboards and Copilots shared most widely, and flags the ones shared with external users, so sensitive information stays inside the organization.
Govern Copilot Agents
Copilot Studio allows you to create and manage independent agents that can automate complex business processes at the click of a button. Now you have hundreds of Copilot Agents connecting across your tenant you want to maintain them, get rid of redundant ones quick and prevent oversharing. Rencore Governance helps keep your tenant tidy responding to unidentified, unused, and outdated Copilots. Manage the lifecycle of copilots, ensuring that only active and necessary copilots are maintained.
If you are weighing this against a dedicated agent security vendor, our comparison of Zenity alternatives for AI and Microsoft 365 governance covers how agent inventory, risk ranking and lifecycle control differ across the options.
Power Platform FAQs
Which Power Platform services can Rencore Governance see?
The Apps, Automation and BI module covers Power Platform, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Fabric today, with Dataverse coming soon. Every app, flow, report and connection lands in one inventory alongside its owner, its environment, how widely it is shared and whether it needs a premium licence, so you see the estate rather than one environment at a time. Coverage beyond Microsoft is on the roadmap, not generally available.
We already run the CoE Starter Kit. What does this add?
As of May 2026 Microsoft no longer actively maintains the Power Platform Center of Excellence Starter Kit and it receives no new features. Existing installations keep working, and Microsoft points customers to the native capabilities in the Power Platform admin center. Rencore Governance is a supported product rather than a kit your team maintains: the inventory, the policies and the lifecycle actions arrive ready to use, they span the rest of your Microsoft 365 estate as well, and they come with support. Our Power Platform Center of Excellence alternatives page sets out the differences.
How do we keep premium licence and connector costs predictable?
By finding what needs a premium licence before the invoice does. Rencore Governance identifies the apps and flows that require a premium licence, the premium and custom connectors they run on, and the makers behind them. Platform teams use that to consolidate duplicates, retire what nobody runs, and forecast the licences that are genuinely needed rather than discovering the cost at renewal.
What happens to an app or flow when the person who built it leaves?
It surfaces as an ownership gap rather than running on unowned. Rencore Governance flags apps and flows with no owner, those owned by accounts that are no longer active, and those not shared with a service account, and routes each one for reassignment. A business process that quietly depends on one maker is a risk long before that person changes role, and this is what makes it visible.
Does this slow our citizen developers down?
No. The aim is guardrails without gatekeeping: makers keep building, and policy runs alongside them rather than in front of them. Rencore Governance ranks what carries real risk or cost, such as an app shared with the entire organization, a report or dashboard shared with external users, or a solution with no owner, and routes those to the people who can act. What is low risk stays out of everyone's way.
Do agents built in Copilot Studio show up here too?
Yes. Agents built in Copilot Studio are covered by the AI & Agents module and appear next to the apps and flows they sit beside, with their owner, their connections and their usage. Agent sprawl follows the same pattern app sprawl did, and the questions are the same: who built it, who can use it, what data it reaches, what it costs and who retires it. See Copilot and agent governance.
