    Hi  ZiyadSyauqi ,

     

    According to a statement in the Power BI security white paper:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/whitepaper-powerbi-security

    By default, all data retained by Power BI is encrypted using Microsoft-managed keys. Customer data stored in Azure SQL databases is fully encrypted using Azure SQL's Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) technology. Customer data stored in Azure Blob Storage is encrypted using Azure Storage Encryption.

    In addition, organizations can use Power BI Premium to encrypt static data imported into the semantic model using their own keys. This method is often described as Bring Your Own Key (BYOK). Utilizing BYOK helps ensure that customer data is not exposed even in the event of a service operator error-something that cannot be easily achieved using transparent server-side encryption. For more information, see Bring Your Own Encryption Key for Power BI.
