Prepare for Fabric with Power BI Governance, Auditing and DR
summary
Argues that governance must be planned, monitored and fixed with concrete controls rather than vague policies, showing a practical three-layer architecture (central, team, personal), workspace/dev-test-prod patterns, Git/deployment pipelines, and Fabric-specific complications like warehouses, lakehouses and preview mirroring. Demonstrates native features (promote/certify flags, sensitivity labels, RLS) plus external tools: Power BI Sentinel (automates audit/log extraction to a database, long-term retention, permission views, change tracking and backups with rollbacks), Purview, Tabular Editor and PBI Tools. One Security is not GA yet, so plan accordingly.
