Power BI consultants must ensure data security while complying with industry regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2. Many clients handle sensitive financial, healthcare, or customer data, making data breaches and unauthorized access a major concern.
Power BI consultant must implement Row-Level Security (RLS), Object-Level Security (OLS), and Azure Active Directory authentication to restrict access. Additionally, multi-cloud environments introduce complexities in data encryption, auditing, and compliance tracking. Without strong governance policies, businesses may hesitate to adopt Power BI solutions due to fear of data leaks and regulatory non-compliance.
