Overview
Dynamics 365 Human Resources enables organizations to centralize workforce data and drive operational
excellence across HR programs. As people resources are the most expensive part of operating expenses,
the imperatives of efficiency and cost reduction have always been a part of the HR mandate; however,
when workforce practices are disconnected and lack a cohesive strategy across the company, the result is
high turnover rates, longer hiring cycles, and lower employee engagement. All of which contribute to lack of
product innovation, expensive operational errors, less satisfied customers, and suboptimal financial results.
Our vision for Dynamics 365 Human Resources is to help HR teams balance operational excellence,
organizational agility, and the employee experience to create a workplace where people and the business
thrive.

Power BI
Overview
Power BI is a business analytics solution that lets you visualize your data and share insights across your
organization or embed them in your app or website. Connect to hundreds of data sources and bring your
data to life with live dashboards and reports.
Privacy
At Microsoft, we’re serious about strict standards regarding the privacy and protection of customer data. We
take strong measures to protect your data from unauthorized persons or inappropriate access. Not only do
Microsoft policies prohibit your data from being mined for marketing or advertising, we also restrict access
by Microsoft personnel and subcontractors, and carefully define requirements for responding to
government requests for customer data. However, your customer data is available to you at any time and
for any reason.
Microsoft complies with international data protection laws regarding transfers of customer data across
borders. We also offer an expanding network of global datacenters to help customers meet geographic
restrictions on data storage.

Security
Discover powerful security technologies
Your data is securely protected because the Power BI is built on Microsoft Azure. This means that Power BI
benefits from the Azure platform’s powerful security technologies. Encryption of data, at rest and in transit,
also preserves confidentiality. In addition, Power BI uses separate front-end and back-end clusters, the
Gateway role, and secure data storage architecture. This helps protect your information and allows your
organization’s data to be unified whether in the cloud or on premises.
Power BI is governed by the Microsoft Online Services Terms and the Microsoft Online Services Privacy
Statement.
Get an overview of the Power Platform
Keep data secure with identity and access management
Now you can make sure that user access to your data is secure and controlled. Power BI uses Azure Active
Directory (Azure AD) identity and access management mechanisms to help ensure that only authorized
users can access the environment, data, and reports.
Power BI uses Azure AD as an identity repository for authentication and authorization. When users sign in to
Power BI via a secure (HTTPS) website, all communication between the user’s web browser and a business
application platform service is encrypted.
The Azure Traffic Manager receives the request, and—based on the user’s location—determines the location
of the nearest service deployment, then responds with the IP address of that web front end (WFE) cluster.
To learn more about how the Azure Traffic Manager performs traffic routing, read the Microsoft Azure
documentation on Traffic Manager traffic-routing methods.
To find out about the Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) from which necessary files are downloaded,
watch the Microsoft Azure documentation CDN videos.
Encryption to safeguard data
Encryption can help protect your data both at rest and in transit. Data requested and transmitted is
encrypted in transit using HTTPS.
Data transferred through the on-premises data gateway is encrypted. Data that users upload is typically sent
to Azure Blob storage, and all metadata and artifacts for the system itself are stored in an Azure SQL
database and Azure Table storage.
Secure access for Power BI data
In Power BI, your data is secure because access authorization is based on a user’s identity. The Power BI
service handles data at rest (not currently being acted upon) and data in process (being actively accessed or
updated by users or the service). Data is divided into two categories:
• Data accessed by direct query
• Data not accessed by direct query
Direct queries are directly translated to the native language of an underlying data source. Non-direct
queries do not include credentials for the underlying data. The distinction between a direct query and other
queries determines how the Power BI service handles the data at rest and whether the query itself is
encrypted.
Page | 52
Customer Enterprise Artificial
Products Power Platform
engagement resource planning intelligence
Power BI uses Azure Storage for Blob storage and Azure SQL Database for metadata that the system
generates and uses. The user never connects directly to these storage repositories—all user connections are
made to the Gateway role. The Gateway role then forwards requests for data to other roles such as the
Presentation role, which is used to render the dashboard.
Only authorized users can access data based on identity. However, when users access data, it becomes their
responsibility to secure any data they share. With static reports, authorized users can share reports with
unauthorized users. With dynamic reports, users can see reports only if they are authenticated and
authorized. Here’s how static and dynamic reports handle data:
• Static reports. When a static report is created, the data is fixed in the report—similar to a PDF. (There is
no “callback” to the Power BI system to view the data visualized in the report.)
• Dynamic reports. With a dynamic report, the data doesn’t reside in the report. Instead, the report is
generated by pulling data from SQL Server Analysis Services, using the Power BI Analysis Service
Connector to connect to SQL Server.

Overview
Power Virtual Agents enables anyone in your organization to create AI-powered bots that can chat with
users about specific topics. They can answer routine questions, resolve common issues, or automate tasks
that take up valuable customer or employee time.
Creating a bot is typically a complex and time-intensive process, requiring long content update cycles and
a team of experts. Power Virtual Agents gives anyone in your organization the ability to create powerful
custom bots using an easy, code-free graphical interface, without the need for AI experts, data scientists,
or teams of developers. A bot can interact with users, ask for clarifying information, and ultimately answer a
user's questions.
Customer data
Microsoft will not transfer customer data outside the selected Azure geographic location (geos) for Power
Virtual Agents except when:
• Microsoft must provide customer support, troubleshoot the service, or comply with legal requirements.
• Customers use services that are designed to operate globally, including the following:
– Email used to send marketing messaging globally, as configured by the customer.
– The Dynamics 365 home page, which stores application names, descriptions, and logos globally for
performance.
– Azure Active Directory, which may store Active Directory data globally.
– Azure Multi-Factor Authentication, which may store multi-factor authentication data globally.
– Customer data collected during the onboarding process by the Microsoft Office 365 Admin Center.
– Services that provide global routing functions and do not process or store customer data. This
includes Azure DNS, which provides domain name services that route to different regions; or
preview, beta, or other pre-release services, which typically store customer data in the United States
but may store it globally.

– Additionally, certain types of customer data (specifically the application name, application
description, and application logo) will be stored globally, rather than in the primary storage
geographic location.
• Customers configure external services to extend Power Virtual Agents. Such customer configurations
may cause customer data to be transferred outside of the selected geographic location. Examples of
customer configurable external services include:
– Customer Service Hand-off – Configurable external services that hand-off bot escalations to a
human agent.
– Multi-Channel – Configurable to external channels such as Facebook and internal non-PVA services
(Microsoft Teams).
