- What is low-code governance?
Low-code governance is a set of guardrails or rules an organization sets to ensure the secure, compliant, and effective use of a low-code application development platform.
- What is shadow IT?
Shadow IT is the use of unauthorized IT tools and services by employees in an organization. These tools are used to meet specific, immediate needs. However, they bypass formal IT approval and control processes which can create organizational risks.
- Why is low-code governance necessary?
Robust governance and controls are essential aspects of low-code platform security because the technology makes application development more accessible to people outside of IT.
With more people building applications and more applications being built, enterprises need a low-code platform that provides visibility, insight, and control over every aspect of the application development lifecycle.
When you can align your governance plan and execution, you can foster innovation at scale, enhance developer productivity, and ultimately bring agility to the business. All of this helps teams deliver impactful solutions while saving costs.
- Can I customize governance policies to fit my organization's needs?
Yes. Our built-in security and governance features enable teams to create bespoke experiences for both platform users and end users.
