No Visibility Into Adoption
You've invested in Power BI Premium, custom reports, and dedicated BI developers — but you can't tell the board which reports are actually being used, which are stale, or what your ROI is.
No Data Access Audit Trail
When a regulator or internal auditor asks "who accessed the customer data report last month?", your team spends days searching for an answer that should take seconds.
Policy Compliance is Invisible
You have data governance policies - no external sharing without approval, no public web publishing - but no way to know if they're being followed until something goes wrong.
Unattributed BI Spend
Your Premium capacity costs tens of thousands per year but you cannot tell Finance which departments are consuming it, or prove that licensed users are actively using Power BI.
Reports With No Owners
Employees leave and take institutional knowledge with them. Orphaned reports and datasets with no assigned steward accumulate silently, creating risk and technical debt.
The 28-Day History Wall
Power BI's built-in Activity Log only keeps 28 days of history. For annual compliance reviews, incident investigations, or trend analysis, this is completely insufficient.
Most organizations cannot answer three basic questions that every CDO and compliance officer must be able to answer. If these sound familiar, you have a governance gap.
Is Your Power BI Investment Flying Blind?
The Problem
The Solution
One Platform. Six Governance Modules. Total Visibility.
The Numlytics Power BI Governance Intelligence Platform is built on the Power BI Admin Activity Events API, extracting and storing every user action across your tenant - daily - into a governed, certified analytics model.
✓ Permanent Multi-Year Audit Trail
Incremental refresh architecture breaks the 28-day limit. Every action is stored permanently in Azure Data Lake — building your compliance-grade ledger from Day 1.
✓ Zero New Data Sources Required
100% powered by Microsoft's own Activity Events API — no agents, no third-party tools, no additional connectors. Pure Microsoft ecosystem.
✓ CDO & Board-Ready Reporting
Pre-built executive scorecards, compliance scores, and governance KPIs — designed to be reported upward without technical translation.
Module 01
Adoption Intelligence
Active users, stale reports, department heatmaps, ROI metrics. Prove BI investment value to leadership.
Module 02
Data Governance Audit

Built for Real Governance Challenges
Use Cases
These are the governance scenarios our CDO clients face. The platform is purpose-built to solve each one out of the box.
Financial Services - GDPR & SOX Compliance
✓ Audit prep time reduced from 3 days → 20 minutes
A global bank's compliance team needs to demonstrate controlled access to FCA-regulated financial reports. With the Audit module, they produce a complete access ledger for any date range - in minutes, not days. External auditors receive evidence packages generated with one click.
Healthcare - Patient Data Access Monitoring
✓ Zero unreported data export events
A healthcare system uses Power BI reports connected to patient datasets. The Security module flags any ExportArtifact or external share events touching these reports, triggering immediate CISO review - before a potential HIPAA breach becomes an incident.
Manufacturing - BI Investment Justification
✓ $43K annual license spend recovered
A manufacturing CDO needs to justify renewing 400 Power BI licenses. The Adoption module shows that 310 are actively used - and identifies 90 candidates for reclamation, saving $43,000/year. The board approves the renewal budget with confidence.
Government - Data Sharing Policy Enforcement
✓ Policy violations detected in < 24 hours
A government department has strict policies against publishing any report to the public web. The Policy Compliance module detects a PublishToWebReport event within 24 hours, generates a violation case, and alerts the data governance team - before the public can access restricted information.
"Numlytics delivered the adoption intelligence module in 6 weeks. For the first time, I could show our CEO exactly which Power BI reports our teams were actually using - and justify our entire BI budget renewal. The ROI conversation has completely changed."
S. Kumar
Chief Data Officer, Global FMCG
"Our compliance audit used to take a week to prepare. With the audit trail module, I pull the exact data package an auditor needs in under 30 minutes. Numlytics' offshore team understood our regulatory requirements from day one and delivered precisely what we needed."
R. Patel
Head of Data Governance, Financial Services
"The incremental refresh architecture Numlytics built is elegant. We now have 2+ years of Power BI activity history when the API only gives you 28 days. That's not just a dashboard - that's an enterprise asset. Worth every dollar."
