Data policies and outbound
Connectors, HTTP calls, MCP servers and other tenants allowed where they should be, and nowhere else.
29checks
In short
Data policies and outbound is one of the 11 core modules in The Governor, Ustrema's governance app for Microsoft Power Platform, Copilot Studio and agents. It runs 29 checks every week to answer one question: Can a flow send our data to any address on the internet? Every failing check becomes a finding with an owner, closed with DLP policies, Advanced connector policies, Tenant isolation.
The question it answers
Can a flow send our data to any address on the internet?
What it measures
Each of the 29 checks looks for patterns like these, in every environment, every week:
- Environments with no data policy
- HTTP and custom connectors left open
- Every outbound destination per environment, including addresses built at runtime
- Connections to and from other tenants, including blocked attempts
What you get
Once the findings are closed and the controls are in place, your tenant has:
- A tenant-wide data policy design
- An approved list of outbound destinations per environment
- Tenant isolation planned, so nothing breaks when it is switched on
- A process for approving new connectors
Microsoft services it works with
The Governor checks that these Microsoft controls are on, and our experts configure them:
- DLP policies
- Advanced connector policies
- Tenant isolation
