The client is concerned about data exfiltration risks associated with third-party visuals. As this is a PBI Certified Visual, could anyone let us know if the visual:</P><OL><LI>Does not transmit data to external servers.</LI><LI>Complies with Microsoft's "no outbound connectivity" rule for certification.</LI></OL><P>This will help us clear a security audit for our client.
