Make Your Dataverse Fort Knox: Baseline Configuration Tips & Tricks

When implementing Power Platform or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement solutions within smaller organisations, security baseline controls are typically not a huge concern. But as you start to promote and implement these solutions within larger enterprises, you will often encounter several challenges when explaining, justifying and convincing IT teams that the solution you're implementing can align with existing organisational standards and that some of the frequently voiced promises of the solution don't accidentally cause a compliance or legal nightmare. So, how best can we balance this while ensuring we can deliver value, agility and opportunity using low-code tools?

To help you navigate this minefield, join me in this informative, illustrative and kooky session. I will explain and demonstrate the most crucial baseline configurations to apply within any environment leveraging Microsoft Dataverse or one of the many different Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement apps. Based on real-world experiences working within several enterprise environments, attendees will walk away with a firm understanding of several essential, common sense-led steps to improve the posture of any new or existing environment and keep any information security challenges at bay. Make your Dataverse shine with its dazzling security posture by attending this session!
