The Power BI secret sauce: Security and governance
summary
Power BI runs on Azure AD with MFA, B2B and conditional access so authentication ties into existing enterprise identity and device rules; the service reports 300,000 organizations, 66 million reports and 7 petabytes transferred daily. Data at rest uses double encryption, optional Bring Your Own Key via Azure Key Vault for Premium, and gateways or vNet/private link for network control. Auditing flows to Microsoft 365 logs (30‑day retention), Purview integrates lineage and a sensitivity labels + DLP workflow, and Defender for Cloud Apps can block downloads on unmanaged devices.
