Microsoft has published fresh guidance on how organisations can confidently build secure, compliant applications with Power Platform, emphasizing that low-code doesn’t mean low security and that governance and threat protections are built into the platform. In its latest Power Platform blog, Microsoft breaks down key facts about secure development, showcasing how enterprises can balance rapid innovation with robust security and governance controls across apps and AI agents.

Here are the facts:

Fact #1: Low-code does not mean low security
Power Platform is built for enterprise-grade applications, with a layered security model designed for large organisations. From environment governance to role-based access and visibility, security is built in by design—across apps, connectors, data, and even AI agents.
Fact #2: Compliance doesn’t require outsourcing
Power Platform enables centralized administration with clear visibility into who’s building what and how data is used. Through the Power Platform admin center, IT teams can enforce policies, monitor usage, and meet compliance requirements at scale.
Fact #3: Admins aren’t on their own
Governance and scale come with built-in guidance. Power Platform Admin Center and Advisor deliver AI-driven, real-time recommendations tailored to your environment—helping assess health, strengthen governance, and proactively manage security as your platform evolves.
