Our comprehensive assessment examines your Power BI implementation to identify improvement areas, optimize performance, and align analytics with your governance and business goals.
Is Your Power BI Environment Secure, Efficient, and Compliant?
Many organizations struggle with data security vulnerabilities, governance gaps, and inefficiencies in their Power BI environments. These issues can lead to compliance risks, wasted resources, and diminished analytics value.
Our Power BI Health Check identifies potential risks and inefficiencies across key areas including:
- User adoption and access patterns
- Data security and permission structures
- Cost optimization opportunities
- Report maintenance and performance
By uncovering hidden issues, our assessment helps ensure your Power BI environment remains secure, optimized, and effectively utilized across your organization.
Data Security & Compliance Audit
Unauthorized Data Source Detection
We identify unapproved data sources that may pose security risks to your organization. Unvetted connections can create vulnerabilities through unsecured access points or questionable data quality, potentially compromising your entire analytics ecosystem.
Sensitive Data Access Review
Our comprehensive review discovers exactly who has access to personal or confidential data within your Power BI environment. This assessment is crucial for maintaining compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA while protecting your most sensitive information.
Workspace & Data Permission Audit
We thoroughly assess admin roles and permissions to help strengthen governance. This review identifies excessive privileges, inconsistent access patterns, and potential security gaps that could lead to data leakage or unauthorized modifications.
Data Governance Audit
Data Source Consumption Review
We identify redundant data sources and potential inefficiencies in your environment. This review helps eliminate duplicate datasets, reduce refresh conflicts, and optimize resource usage across your Power BI implementation.
Data Silos Detection
Our assessment discovers isolated datasets that may limit collaboration and create inconsistent reporting. Breaking down these silos helps improve data consistency, reduces maintenance overhead, and enhances cross-departmental insights.
Report and Dataset Sharing Analysis
Our analysis provides clear visibility into how data and reports are shared across your organization. We examine sharing patterns to identify potential governance gaps, inappropriate access, and opportunities to improve collaboration while maintaining control.
Report Lifecycle & Performance Assessment
Report Freshness Review
We identify outdated or unused reports that consume valuable resources and create maintenance overhead. This review helps streamline your Power BI environment by highlighting reports that should be archived, updated, or consolidated.
Scheduled Report Tracking
Our analysis examines scheduled refresh patterns to help maintain efficiency. We identify optimization opportunities by reviewing refresh frequencies, timing conflicts, and processing demands that may impact system performance.
Report Failure Monitoring
We detect recurring report failures to enable better troubleshooting. This monitoring helps identify common failure patterns, data connection issues, and performance bottlenecks that affect report reliability and user experience.
User & Access Management Audit
Inactive User Detection
We identify unused Power BI licenses for cost optimization. This detection helps recover wasted license expenses, improve license allocation, and establish better onboarding/offboarding procedures for analytics users.
Orphan Workspace Review
Our assessment detects abandoned workspaces for better resource management. These orphaned areas often contain forgotten reports and datasets that consume premium capacity, create governance gaps, and complicate your Power BI environment.
User Role & Permission Assessment
Our comprehensive review of access controls identifies potential security risks and governance gaps. We examine role assignments, permission inheritance, and access patterns to ensure appropriate data access and maintain separation of duties.
