The software helps its users to allow their employees at different organizational levels to use the up to the minute analytics in order to make quick and confident decisions. Users can share and create interactive data visuals throughout the data centers around the world, including the national clouds to hence meet the regulation and compliance requirements of the organization. Power BI allows its users to apply sensitivity labels that are recognizable through Office 365 apps such as Excel, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. The software allows its users to use the oversight of sensitive data through Microsoft Cloud App Security to ensure better compliance of regulatory and privacy requirements. Users can extend the governance and protection policies along with the exported data to the software with the help of Microsoft Information Protection. One can block risky user activities in real-time to prevent the exposure of sensitive data.
