EPC Group builds Power BI risk reporting for financial services — FINRA- and SOC 2-aware architectures for broker-dealers, asset managers, banks, and insurers. Row-level security by desk and entity, auditable semantic models, regulator-ready lineage via Microsoft Purview, and executive risk dashboards on Azure data. The Risk Reporting Playbook in practice: data sources → RLS design → semantic model governance → audit trail → distribution controls.

EPC Group configures Power BI environments with row-level security (RLS), sensitivity labels, data loss prevention, and audit logging aligned to SOC 2 Type II trust service criteria. Every implementation includes a compliance validation checklist reviewed by our governance team.
Power BI supports real-time P&L statements, balance sheet analytics, cash flow forecasting, risk exposure dashboards, regulatory reporting (Basel III, Dodd-Frank), portfolio performance tracking, and client-facing embedded analytics — all with drill-through capabilities and automated refresh.
Yes. Power BI supports DirectQuery and composite models connecting to SQL Server, Azure Synapse, Bloomberg feeds, trading platforms, and core banking systems simultaneously. EPC Group optimizes these connections for sub-second refresh on dashboards serving thousands of concurrent users.
Row-level security (RLS) restricts data access at the row level based on user identity — ensuring traders only see their portfolios, branch managers only see their locations, and compliance officers see aggregated views. It is a regulatory requirement for financial data governance.
Financial services Power BI implementations typically range from $50K-$250K. A focused executive dashboard suite runs $50K-$100K, while a full enterprise analytics platform with Fabric, governance, and embedded analytics runs $150K-$250K.
EPC Group creates SOC 2 compliant Power BI analytics for banks, asset managers, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. Our solutions include:
We ensure row-level security, data lineage, and audit trail documentation are included from the start.
Power BI covers the full range of financial analytics use cases. Below are the most common patterns EPC Group implements for financial services clients.
Compliance is not a feature in financial services Power BI — it is the architecture. EPC Group builds it in from day one.
Financial services Power BI environments have high performance and compliance requirements. Capacity sizing matters.
Direct Lake mode has transformed the economics of Power BI in financial services. Semantic models can now query OneLake-resident Parquet files at speeds almost equal to Import mode. This advancement eliminates the need for scheduled refresh windows.
A Fortune 500 financial firm that switched from a 30-minute Import refresh now retrieves the same data in under 800 ms.
FINRA Rule 17a-4 requires broker-dealers to retain business communications and records in a compliant format for specified periods. Power BI reporting for FINRA clients requires:
Power BI is SOC 2 Type II certified by Microsoft. To create SOC 2 compliant analytics for your organization, you need extra configuration. This includes:
EPC Group offers all these services as part of a financial services Power BI deployment.
Yes, Power BI supports real-time data through several modes:
Direct Lake mode enables users to query Parquet files in OneLake at speeds similar to Import mode. This feature removes the need for scheduled refreshes.
For financial services, this means:
RLS is defined in Power BI Desktop using DAX filter expressions. Roles are linked to Azure AD security groups. This ensures that:
RLS is enforced at the semantic model level, regardless of how the report is accessed.
Yes, EPC Group has implemented Power BI analytics for broker-dealers and FINRA-regulated organizations. We focus on several key areas:
We also document the compliance architecture for FINRA examination.
