Sensitivity Labels and Security

Hello,

 

I am hoping to gather some advice from organizations that have been utilizing Fabric for some time. Our organziation is currently piloting Fabric. We have utilized Tableau for operational dashboards for some time now.

 

With the popularity of AI, Copilot, and the sensitivity of a lot of the information we currently handle (such as PHI) we are hoping to utilize information protection tools to classify and further protect our data.

 

We are developing a data sensitivity label strategy currently. We are hoping to potentially use these labels in Fabric. It seems like these labels can be applied to a large amount of data at one time. Does anyone ave experience with these labels in Tableau? Can they transfer over? 

 

Additionally, any insights on sensitivity labels in Fabric would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

Hi @mendomar 
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

To use sensitivity label settings in Fabric they first need to be enabled by the tenant admin from Fabric admin portal.
Go to the Information protection section, expand Allow users to apply sensitivity labels for content, and turn the toggle switch on to enable the feature.

Licensing requirements are an Azure Information Protection Premium P1 or Premium P2 license is required to apply or view sensitivity labels from Purview Information Protection. Azure Information Protection can be purchased either standalone or through one of the Microsoft licensing suites.

To be able to apply labels to Power BI Fabric items, a user must have a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license in addition to one of the Azure Information Protection licenses mentioned above.

Hi @mendomar 

 

No, sensitivity lables does not automatically transferover between  Tableau and Micrsoft Fabric. Bcz, Tableau and Fabric are 2 different frameworks. So, you have to apply sensitivity lables manually while migrating data to Fabric. 
If you want to know more about Fabric how to apply sensitiivty lables pls read this thread Apply sensitivity labels to Fabric items - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

 

THank you!
