Custom Visualization Data Security Issues
Hi Anonymous,
>>What data is being sent? Isn't it a severe breach of data confidentiality?
For power bi data security, you can refer to following article:
POWER BI AND DATA SECURITY – COMPLIANCE AND ENCRYPTION
>>In the description of every Custom visualization that is on the https://appsource.microsoft.com, it says that the visualization can send data through the Internet.
Do you means the origination content pack? If this is a case, all receivers has the similar data access permission as owner.
You can also take a look at below link to know more about content pack:
Intro to organizational content packs in Power BI
Data security
All distribution group members have the same permissions to the data as the content pack creator. The one exception to this is SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) on-premises tabular datasets. Because the reports and dashboards are connecting live to the on-premises SSAS model, the credentials of each individual distribution group member are used to determine the data he or she can access.
BTW, you can add dynamic rls on your report to improve data security level:

Hi Anonymous
Thank you for your detailed answer. I will go thoroughly over it.

Certified custom visuals and custom visuals developed by Microsoft don’t send any data over internet. Such custom visuals can be used for sensitive data.
However, we can’t be sure about other third party not-certified custom visuals.
