ArcGIS with custom shapefile layers

Hello everybody,
My company is currently trying to integrate a two-layer shape file to an ArcGIS map in Power BI. The idea is to have a shapefile geographically accurate so that it is possible to put it on top of the real map and make it interactive with my data. 

I also need to add points to the map at the same time (I have a table of points with their latitude and longitude)

Is it possible to do this?
If possible please tell me how to achieve it and also if a paid ArcGIS account is necessary since I am currently registered for free to ArcGis.

Thanks in advance

@MRuiz-FDC  - Might have better luck on an ArcGIS forum. It's kind of its own thing but I would have to think you could do that. https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/map/working-with-layers/adding-layers-to-a-map.htm

 

Almost certainly paid, it is pretty inexpensive.
