Are You in Control? AppControl Brings Active Governance to Mendix Teams
July 31, 2025 – Blue Storm, the leading provider of Mendix governance solutions, today announced the July release of AppControl, introducing a live Governance Report, dedicated auditor roles, and expanded alerting and audit export capabilities.
In fast-moving Mendix environments, governance can’t be an afterthought. It has to be embedded—active, continuous, and responsive across every phase of the application lifecycle. From the first model commit to the latest infrastructure change, enterprise teams need clear visibility into how apps are built, deployed, and maintained.
This month’s AppControl release reinforces that vision with a deeper commitment to real-time oversight. Whether you’re assessing model security, tracking changes to vendor components, monitoring logs for anomalies, or verifying policy compliance before a release goes live, AppControl delivers timely, actionable insight where it’s needed most.
As governance expands beyond code to include configuration, tasks, infrastructure, and third-party risk, AppControl provides a single lens into the full picture. Platform teams are no longer left waiting for reports or digging through logs—they’re equipped with the information to act decisively, protect standards, and support innovation at scale.
“Are you in control? That’s not just a tagline—it’s the benchmark,” said Andrew Whalen, Founder of Blue Storm. “With this release, AppControl becomes an even stronger partner in helping platform teams lead with clarity, precision, and trust.”
AppControl continues to evolve as the enterprise governance layer for the Mendix lifecycle—Develop, Deploy, Monitor, and Control.
Highlights of the July AppControl Update
Live Governance Report for Real-Time Oversight
A new report in the Insights tab provides an instant view of all failed audit checks for any selected app and environment—enabling faster issue detection and response.
Dedicated Auditor Roles for Scoped Visibility
New read-only system roles—PolicyViewer and InsightsViewer—grant App Members secure access to governance dashboards without exposing administrative controls.
Environment-Level Alerts for Proactive Governance
Alerts now trigger immediately when policy checks or releases fail or generate warnings, with flexible filters by Environment, App Group, and User Group.
Release Audit Export for Compliance and Traceability
The Releases Dashboard now supports one-click export of completed release data, giving platform teams a reliable audit trail for governance and compliance reviews.
