How should Power BI developers ensure data security?

[royben239]

Power BI developers must follow strict security standards to ensure data confidentiality and compliance with industry regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2. Implementing row-level security (RLS) restricts user access based on role, while object-level security (OLS) limits visibility to certain datasets. Data masking techniques should be used for sensitive data, and user authentication should be integrated with Azure Active Directory. Additionally, Power BI developers must follow Microsoft’s data governance policies, ensure proper permission management, and encrypt Power BI datasets when handling confidential information to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
