    Hi Mmoustaqssa 


    Microsoft offers formal, audit-ready compliance documents for Power BI, specifically designed for banking and highly regulated financial-services organizations. These are available through the Microsoft Trust Center and the Microsoft Service Trust Portal, where authorized customers can access independently audited reports such as SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27018, ISO/IEC 27701, PCI DSS (where applicable), and GDPR compliance documentation. All these documents include Power BI as a covered service.

     

    Additionally, Microsoft provides detailed security resources, including the Power BI Security White Paper Power BI security white paper - Power BI | Microsoft Learn and the Power BI Data Protection and Security OverviewData protection in Power BI - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn, which cover topics like data residency, tenant isolation, encryption, access controls, and operational security. These materials are commonly used by banks for internal risk assessments and regulatory audits, demonstrating that Power BI benefits from Azure’s regulated cloud compliance, including region-locked data residency, strong logical isolation, and enterprise-grade security controls validated by independent third-party audits.

     

    If you have any more questions, please let us know and we’ll be happy to help.
