Power Platform admin center - Ask advisor

🚨 The Signal: A new AI assistant in Power Platform admin center provides tenant data via natural language queries. This increases data exposure risk for Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and Global Admins, especially with cross-region data processing.

The Impact

Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and Global Admins are affected by increased data exposure and potential cross-region data processing risks.

• Power Platform Admins: Risk of sensitive tenant data exposure via AI queries.
• Dynamics 365 Admins: Potential for data residency violations due to cross-region processing.
• Global Admins: Increased attack surface for data exfiltration if admin accounts are compromised.
• Security Teams: New audit and monitoring requirements for AI assistant usage.

The Action

1. Review and update data residency policies for AI features in Power Platform.
2. Implement Conditional Access policies to restrict Power Platform admin access.
3. Monitor Power Platform admin center audit logs for 'Ask advisor' usage.
4. Educate Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and Global Admins on data handling with AI features.
