    Hi brockett_svusd 

     

    If your SQL Server has got encrption enabled then it will be encrypted going from SQL Server to the Gateway. It is encrypted from the Gateway to the Power BI Service.

     

    The gateway uses HTTPS Encryption.

Hi brockett_svusd 

 

The data is encrypted at all times, except when it shown in the browser (And that is in an HTTPS connection). In terms of your gateway it sits within your network so if you keep it secure all the data will be secure.

Thanks for your response GilbertQ. Just to be double-triple sure, when you say the data is encrypted at all times does that mean it's transferred with encryption between the SQL server and gateway, and again between the gateway and the PowerBI cloud? Does that rely on any specific encryption settings on the SQL server, gateway or PowerBI? Also do you know what type of encryption is used?
