Custom Visualization Data Security Issues
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.

Some custom Visuals might send data to third-party services for additional analytics.
We'd recommned to contact developers of custom visuals to ask what data their CVs send.
We'd also recommend to use certified CV. Tag certified means that we have not find any security issues and sending data to 3rd party services.

Hi,
Is there a way to only enable certified/MS custom visuals in PBIRS? We need to make sure that the custom visuals does not send data over the Internet.
Also the list doesnt seem to get updated. For ex. Timeline Storyteller isnt on (which is published by Microsoft)

There's no way at least for now. The organisation store for custom visuals is coming soon to cover this functionality.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
'Organisation store for custom visuals' sounds great and would solve the issue.
