Dynamics 365 Business Central: Data mirroring to Microsoft Fabric

🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 Business Central data can now be mirrored to Microsoft Fabric's OneLake. This centralises business data for analytics, increasing data exposure and requiring robust governance over sensitive information.

The Impact

Data owners and security teams are affected by increased data exposure and the need for new access controls.

  • Data Owners: Increased risk of unauthorised data access if not properly secured.
  • Security Teams: New data sources require updated monitoring and incident response plans.
  • Compliance Officers: Data residency and sovereignty requirements must be re-evaluated for mirrored data.

The Action

  1. Identify and classify sensitive data within Business Central companies and tables selected for mirroring.
  2. Implement granular access controls within Microsoft Fabric for mirrored Business Central data.
  3. Review and update data loss prevention (DLP) policies to cover data mirrored to OneLake.
  4. Establish monitoring and alerting for access to and usage of Business Central data within Microsoft Fabric.
  5. Update data governance documentation to include the new data flow and responsibilities.
