    Hi pennyhoho117 ,

    1. Data is retrieved from memory (Import) or queried live (DirectQuery) and encrypted in transit (TLS).
    2. Data at rest is encrypted using Microsoft-managed or customer-managed keys (Azure Key Vault).

    For editing, only metadata (not datasets) is updated, and encryption remains the same during save or publish.
