Utrecht, The Netherlands — February 12, 2026

Blue Storm, the leading provider of Mendix governance solutions and creator of AppControl, today announced a strategic partnership with MxBlue | SUPERP to deliver structured governance and continuous security, quality and compliance for Mendix customers across EMEA.

As Mendix applications increasingly support core and regulated business processes, governance is no longer a secondary concern. Organizations require continuous visibility into security, quality and compliance — embedded directly into their development lifecycle rather than added as an afterthought.

Andrew Whalen, CEO and Founder at Blue Storm, explains:

Low-code and Mendix have grown far beyond their early role as tools for departmental applications. Today they support innovative and mission-critical enterprise systems. To continue developing at speed — and with confidence — governance must evolve alongside the platform itself.

AppControl is designed as the governance layer for Mendix, providing structured control across development, deployment, monitoring and compliance. By partnering with MxBlue, we combine automated governance with deep platform and delivery expertise, enabling organizations to confidently answer one essential question: are you in control?

The partnership brings together complementary strengths. Blue Storm provides the governance foundation through AppControl’s automated policy checks, audit events, structured controls and real-time governance reporting. MxBlue ensures effective implementation, integration and operational adoption within customer environments.

Daan Baljion, Business Unit Manager MxBlue, adds:

We see Mendix being used in increasingly business-critical and regulated environments. Governance, security and quality cannot depend on manual processes or informal agreements. Through this partnership, we help organizations embed structured governance directly into their Mendix landscape — without slowing down innovation.

Through this collaboration, organizations across EMEA gain:

• Real-time visibility across their Mendix portfolio

• Automated policy enforcement and control validation

• Continuous compliance monitoring aligned with enterprise standards

• Clear accountability through role-based governance structures

• Reduced reliance on reactive audit preparation

Rather than treating compliance as a periodic exercise, customers can move toward continuous, embedded governance — supporting both innovation and accountability.

In a landscape where low-code platforms power core enterprise systems, control must mature alongside innovation. This partnership ensures that it does.
