Secure Multi-Tenant BI Report Delivery Platform with Advanced Access Control

The client faces significant security vulnerabilities when sharing Power BI dashboards, risking sensitive business data exposure. Current BI sharing methods lack granular access controls and audit capabilities, necessitating a secure platform to distribute reports to authorized users only, within specific timeframes, and with real-time access tracking.

A mid to large-sized organization specializing in integrated business planning, seeking to enhance data security for their Power BI dashboards and reports.

• Design and implement a multi-tenant platform enabling controlled access to business intelligence reports based on user roles and time-bound permissions.
• Integrate comprehensive access management features allowing administrators to track, modify, and revoke user access effortlessly.
• Ensure the platform supports seamless integration with existing BI tools and data sources, maintaining data integrity and security.
• Deliver the solution within a strict one-month timeframe to meet urgent security compliance needs.
• Enhance overall data security posture by enabling high-level monitoring and auditing of report access.

• User authentication and role-based access control to restrict report viewing to authorized personnel.
• Time-based access permissions to automatically grant and revoke report access within designated periods.
• Dashboard for administrators to monitor report access logs and manage permissions dynamically.
• Automated notifications for access events and security alerts.
• Seamless delivery of BI reports to end-users through secure portals or embedded views.

• Power BI APIs for report embedding and management
• Identity providers (e.g., Azure AD) for authentication
• Data sources relevant to client's IBP system for report generation
• Access logging and monitoring tools for audit trail management

• System must support at least 1,000 concurrent users with minimal latency
• Data transmission and storage must adhere to the highest security standards, including encryption at rest and in transit
• System should be scalable to accommodate future client growth and report volume
• Real-time access tracking with comprehensive audit logs
• High availability and disaster recovery planning

The new platform aims to significantly enhance data security for BI report sharing, reducing risks of data leaks and unauthorized access. By implementing granular control and real-time monitoring, the client can manage user permissions more effectively, leading to increased trust with clients and stakeholders. The project is expected to facilitate a fivefold expansion of the customer base by providing a robust, secure BI distribution infrastructure, ultimately supporting the client's digital transformation and operational excellence initiatives.
