Microsoft Community Days Montreal 2026: Power Platform Governance

Microsoft Power Platform Governance in 2026

Your organization didn't decide to build 300 Power Platform apps and agents. It just woke up one day and had them.

As makers move faster, environments multiply, connectors expand, and AI agents begin acting across organizational data, yesterday’s governance model can quickly become today’s operational risk.

This slide deck from Microsoft Community Days Montreal 2026, Power Platform Governance, explores how organizations can replace reactive controls with a scalable governance strategy for Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, and Dataverse.

What You'll Learn

• An environment strategy that scales: how to structure dev, test, prod, and personal productivity environments so governance doesn't collapse the moment adoption grows.
• DLP policies that don't break the business: practical connector classification, and where most organizations over- or under-restrict.
• Security patterns for AI-era workloads: what changes when agents, not just apps, are consuming your data and triggering actions.
• Governance you can automate: using the Power Platform's own tooling to monitor, flag, and remediate at scale instead of chasing makers manually.
• A starting point you can use Monday: not a maturity model poster, an actual sequence of moves.

Built for the People Responsible for the Guardrails

• CIOs, IT directors, and platform owners accountable for Power Platform risk
• Power Platform and Microsoft 365 admins and architects
• Security, compliance, and data governance leads
• Center of Excellence teams and citizen-developer program owners
• Anyone whose Copilot Studio or agent rollout is outpacing their guardrails
