Why Monitor Power BI?

Most enterprises have stringent data governance policies relating to core data assets which control who, how and why people can access. However, when those data assets are made available through Power BI, organisations can lose control of the data governance process as data is shared by users to other users directly. Without proper Power BI monitoring many organisations will struggle to answer basic “who has access to what” questions, which may cause issues with audit and compliance.
