Introducing ENow App Governance Accelerator 3.0 Enterprise for Entra ID

The Future of Entra ID Application Governance Is Here 

 Your Apps Are a Threat Vector. Are You in Control? 

Three years ago, as Microsoft began shifting more identity controls into Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), we realized something crucial: Entra ID is not secure out of the box. It’s constantly changing, and these changes introduce risk. Microsoft may set certain permissions as defaults, roll out new APIs, or alter consent settings, without a clear heads-up. 

Meanwhile, enterprise IT and identity teams struggle to keep up. Add in the rise of SaaS, AI-driven citizen development, and vendors that fail to properly clean up apps after uninstalling, and you’re left with hundreds or even thousands of dormant, overly permissioned, or outright risky applications in every tenant. 

Then came the attack on Microsoft by the threat actor Midnight Blizzard. It exposed the risk of Applications tied into Entra ID.  

Now, with ENow App Governance Accelerator 3.0 – Enterprise Edition, we're delivering on a vision years in the making: 

Automated, actionable, enterprise-grade app governance workflows to identify, assess, notify, and remediate risky apps at scale before attackers exploit them. 

 🚀 Why This Release Is a Game-Changer 

Let’s break down five immutable truths of modern Entra ID environments: 

1. It’s constantly changing. Microsoft's platform shifts rapidly, often without adequate notice. 

2. SaaS is exploding. Departments frequently add apps without centralized IT awareness. 

3. Citizen developers often don’t follow zero-trust principles. From Power Platform to no-code/vibe coding, risky app sprawl is accelerating. 

4. Vendors often fail to clean up after themselves. Most uninstalls leave permissions hanging. 

5. Onboarding usually exists (but might not be centralized). Offboarding typically doesn’t happen. Or at least not effectively. 

And then there’s the reality that: 

🔎 80%+ of SaaS apps have excessive permissions 

😬 Most organizations have 30 days or less of sign-in logs

🧨 One app mistake/deletion can have a massive impact on business operations and bring them to a halt...think about what your most critical apps enable!  

What’s New in App Governance Accelerator 3.0 

✅ Automated Governance Workflows 

Finally, solve the app governance problem with real automated remediation: 

• Disable or delete stale or impersonating apps within the set controls 

• Create workflows to contact app owners, top users, and their managers 

• Customize actions, approval paths, notification cadence, and escalation windows 

• Protect your org without mistakenly halting business operations 

These workflows reduce human error, quickly improve your identity security posture and free up identity teams from time-draining manual reviews 

 🧠 Smart User Engagement 

You decide how aggressive to be with different actions (notifications, feedback windows, or swift action). The system contacts your preference of App Owners, Top Users, or Managers. These smart controls help prevent accidental outages, build trust with the business, and turn visibility into action with minimal friction. 

 👥 Roles-Based Access Model 

The Enterprise edition enables scalable, secure delegation with roles for Administrators, Identity Engineers, and Read-Only access. Granular access supports multi-team governance, ensures policy control stays in the right hands, and allows audit-ready access segmentation. 

 📊 Real-Time Workflow Status Dashboard 

Track every workflow and every app within it. View feedback, failures, and completion states of your app remediation workflows. This visibility gives full transparency into governance execution, identifies bottlenecks and repeat offenders of bad governance practices, and helps measure the ROI of your automation strategy. 

 🔎 Saved Custom Queries + Built-In Reports 

Admins will reduce time spent building queries, empower non-technical stakeholders, and move from triage to strategy with repeatable governance workflows and queries.  

🆕 New Report: App Registrations with API Permissions 

Keep track of all app registrations and associated API permissions in your tenant. This is crucial for safeguarding sensitive data, maintaining tenant integrity, and ensuring compliance with regulations. Identify the apps that attackers would exploit, tighten access controls before a breach occurs, and meet least-privilege and compliance mandates.  

How will Entra ID App Governance benefit your Organization?

Organizations from mid-market to global enterprises are adopting AppGov 3.0 because: 

• They’ve tried Microsoft's tools and found them incomplete or expensive 

• Their identity teams are stretched thin, and automation is the only path forward 

• They’ve used the ENow AppGov Score tool, realized they’re exposed, and needed a solution 

• Outages have burned them due to hasty or incorrect app removal 

• They need a platform that does the work for them, not just tells them they have a problem
