Password protect / encrypt a PBIT file?

Is there any way to password protect or even encrypt a PBIT file? I might need to store some sensitive data / have access to a sensitive data source and being able to add at least some rudimentary local protection to it is a must. Does Power BI Desktop have any settings I could tweak to achieve this? If not, are there any other suggestions how to deal with local protection?

  • Maybe RMS or zip the file and set encryption/password via that? It is not built into Desktop to my knowledge.
