Most BI tools create security gaps at the data layer.
When data moves to a third-party SaaS platform for analysis, it leaves your governance perimeter. When analysts share dashboards via email attachments, row-level security is bypassed. When multiple teams build separate reports, each report carries its own access model — creating a patchwork that's impossible to audit. The result: compliance risk that's invisible until it's a problem.
Security built into the platform architecture — not bolted on after.
IntelliFabric's security model is structural. Data lives in your Azure tenant. Row-level security is defined once in the semantic model and applies to every downstream report automatically. Access is managed through your existing Microsoft Entra ID groups. Every query is logged. Nothing bypasses the governance layer.
From connection to insight in four steps.
Data never leaves your Azure tenant
All data is stored in OneLake within your Azure subscription. IntelliFabric's pipelines run in your Fabric workspace. Folio3's team accesses your environment via JIT (just-in-time) access during implementation — not by having a copy of your data.
Row-level security defined once
RLS rules are configured in the semantic model using your Microsoft Entra ID groups or custom attribute tables. A finance controller sees all entities. A regional manager sees their region. A line supervisor sees their line. One configuration. All reports.
Microsoft Entra ID for authentication
All users authenticate via your existing Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). No new identity system. No separate username and password. Single sign-on with MFA enforced by your existing Entra ID policies.
Audit trail for all access
Microsoft Fabric's audit logging captures every query, every report view, every data export. Logs flow to your Azure Monitor or Sentinel workspace. Compliance teams can produce evidence of who accessed what data, when, from where.
