The Challenge
The client had several employees who had developed various apps and data flows using the Power Platform. However, they recognised the potential risk of data exposure outside the organisation. They sought a solution that would provide visibility into the number of active apps and flows within the company, the connectors they utilised, and an assessment of which connectors might pose a security risk.
Our Approach & Solution
To gather initial insights into the Power Platform tools in use, we deployed a pre-built Power BI solution available from Microsoft. We customised this report to capture detailed information about the client’s Power Platform environments. Additionally, we enhanced the report by categorising connectors and visualising the environments, applications, and flows that leveraged connectors across multiple environments. This provided a high-level overview, with the added capability for users to drill down into individual environments to examine more granular data.
The Outcome
The tailored Power BI report provided comprehensive visibility into the client’s Power Platform ecosystem, enabling them to monitor key metrics such as the number of environments, apps, and flows using multi-environment connectors. The solution delivered an intuitive, high-level view with the option for detailed drill-through analysis, helping the client mitigate potential data risks and maintain better governance of their Power Platform assets.
