How do sensitivity labels in Power BI integrate with Microsoft 365 security policies?
I want to understand how Power BI’s sensitivity labeling system works in conjunction with Microsoft 365 compliance solutions like Microsoft Purview. The description should outline how sensitivity labels propagate across services and enhance enterprise-wide data protection.

Sensitivity labels in Power BI are tightly integrated with Microsoft 365 compliance solutions, especially Microsoft Purview Information Protection. When an organization defines and publishes sensitivity labels in Purview, those labels become available in Power BI, enabling users to classify reports, dashboards, and datasets based on data sensitivity (e.g., Confidential, Restricted, Public).

Once applied, these labels enforce protection settings—such as encryption, content marking, and usage restrictions—that extend beyond Power BI. For example, if a report labeled Highly Confidential is exported to Excel, the exported file retains that label and its associated Microsoft 365 protection rules. Because these safeguards are compatible with Microsoft 365 applications like Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook, data security policies are consistently enforced throughout the company.

Sensitivity labels can also be found in Microsoft Purview compliance portals, where security administrators can keep an eye on label usage, look into risky data handling, and enforce Conditional Access and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies. This integration enables productivity in Power BI and beyond while assisting organizations in maintaining regulatory compliance and achieving centralized, policy-driven governance.
