Introduction
Overview
AppControl is the governance layer for Mendix.
It provides continuous security, quality, and compliance across the full lifecycle of your applications — from development through deployment and production operations.
Rather than adding governance as an afterthought, AppControl embeds control directly into your Mendix landscape. It continuously evaluates policies, audit events, releases, and operational signals to ensure you are not only moving fast — but staying in control.
AppControl operates across four integrated lifecycle domains:
Develop
Continuously scan and evaluate your applications against defined security, quality, and development standards. Detect structural risks, policy violations, and dependency issues early in the lifecycle.
Deploy
Enforce controlled releases with approvals, policy validation, and full traceability. Capture audit events for deployments, configuration changes, and revision updates to ensure accountable change management.
Monitor
Maintain operational oversight with alerts, vulnerability insights, system signals, and audit visibility. Detect deviations before they become incidents and maintain evidence for compliance.
Control
Define governance controls, select required coverage levels, and continuously evaluate whether change management, access, configuration, and other processes are functioning as intended. Controls are evidence-driven and automatically assessed across selected environments.
Built for Enterprise Governance
AppControl is designed for organizations where Mendix supports business-critical processes. It enables:
Continuous compliance instead of periodic audits
Traceable and controlled releases
Structured evidence for frameworks such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2
Clear visibility across apps, teams, and environments
Governance becomes measurable, enforceable, and scalable.
Tailored to Your Role
Whether you are responsible for platform governance, security, quality assurance, or operations, AppControl provides the visibility and control needed to manage Mendix at scale.
