Power BI reports without classification

Last updated Policies Access & Sharing Power BI

AI summary

A governance rule identifies Power BI reports without sensitivity labels. Unclassified reports lack data protection; apply sensitivity labels that travel with exports to Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF, or set up a default or mandatory labeling policy for Power BI.

Severity: Medium Security Recommended Generally available

What it detects

Identifies reports lacking required sensitivity classification to ensure data governance compliance.

Why it matters

Without a sensitivity label, a report has no protection beyond Power BI permissions. A label tells people how sensitive the data is, and when someone exports the report to Excel, PowerPoint or PDF, the label and its protection go with the file. Label these reports, and consider a default label or mandatory labeling for Power BI.
