Entrusting Power Framework with your data
Your data is stored securely in your own Microsoft cloud tenant — never hosted by a third party. This gives you complete peace of mind, full sovereignty, and effortless alignment with data residency and sovereignty requirements.
We deploy directly into your Microsoft environment, so you benefit from Microsoft’s enterprise-grade security stack (including encryption, threat detection, and compliance certifications) while avoiding the risks of third-party cloud hosting. Role-based security, field-level permissions, and full audit history come built-in.
We are certified to ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management. Our solutions also leverage Microsoft’s extensive compliance portfolio (including ISO 27001, SOC reports, Cyber Essentials alignment where relevant, and more) — all inherited and reinforced by our deployment model.
Yes — extensively. Using Power Platform tools, you can configure access, workflows, approvals, and data visibility to match your exact governance and compliance needs.
We maintain proactive monitoring, regular reviews of our ISMS, and alignment with emerging threats. Because the core platform is Microsoft-managed with 99.9%+ uptime and built-in resilience, your PPM environment benefits from continuous protection and rapid patching.
