A secure Power Platform implementation combines environment governance, identity and access management, security roles, DLP policies, ALM, secure integrations, and continuous monitoring to protect data while enabling scalable and compliant application development.

Use separate environments for Development, Test/UAT, and Production, and enable Managed Environments for better governance and monitoring.

Control environment access using Microsoft Entra ID security groups, enforce MFA and Conditional Access, and restrict who can create environments.

Apply the least privilege principle by assigning only the required security roles, using custom roles instead of granting System Administrator access.

Use Business Units, Teams, Field Security Profiles, and record-level security to protect sensitive business data.

Implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to prevent data from flowing between trusted (Business) and untrusted (Non-Business) connectors.

Follow Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) best practices by developing in unmanaged solutions, deploying managed solutions, and using deployment pipelines.

Use service principals or dedicated service accounts for integrations instead of personal user accounts.

Enable auditing, monitoring, and governance using Dataverse Auditing, the Power Platform Admin Center, and the CoE Starter Kit.

Secure custom APIs and connectors using OAuth/Microsoft Entra ID and avoid hardcoded credentials.

Establish governance standards for environment creation, naming conventions, solution management, backups, and compliance.

Hi @CU26070107-1,

One addition worth highlighting: for the default environment specifically, Microsoft recommends locking it down more aggressively since it's shared by all users in the tenant. Restrict connector access, enable DLP on the default environment that blocks business connectors, and consider disabling canvas app creation there entirely via PPAC tenant settings.

For a practical starting point, the Power Platform CoE Starter Kit includes ready-to-use governance flows and dashboards that monitor environment creation, app inventory, and connector usage across your tenant. It implements many of the best practices 11manish listed out of the box:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/coe/starter-kit

Reference for the default environment strategy specifically:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/adoption/secure-default-environment
