Client’s Challenges

Our client in the manufacturing industry faced significant data governance challenges with their deployment of Power BI. Critical reports were not subjected to a regular backup regimen, which heightened the risk of data loss and impeded recovery operations. The existing data management and security protocols were not in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), putting the company at substantial risk of non-compliance penalties.

Furthermore, the current report development process was highly centralized, leading to inefficiencies and delays, as end users lacked the permission to create or modify reports autonomously. This bottleneck was a significant impediment to the timely availability of business intelligence insights.

Solution

DataPluzz team conducted a thorough assessment of our client's Power BI infrastructure to ensure adherence to the stringent requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Following this comprehensive audit, we meticulously executed a series of tailored solutions to fully align their data handling processes with GDPR mandates.
