Frequently Asked Questions
Does EPC Group work with FedRAMP and GCC High environments?
Yes. EPC Group deploys Power BI and Microsoft 365 solutions in GCC, GCC High, and DoD environments. Our consultants hold appropriate clearances and follow FedRAMP Moderate and High baselines for all government cloud implementations.
What is the difference between GCC and GCC High for Power BI?
GCC (Government Community Cloud) meets FedRAMP Moderate requirements and serves state/local government. GCC High meets FedRAMP High and DoD IL4/IL5 requirements for federal agencies handling CUI and classified data. Power BI features differ slightly between tiers.
Can Power BI handle CMMC Level 2 compliance requirements?
Yes. When deployed in Azure Government with proper Conditional Access policies, sensitivity labels, and audit controls, Power BI can support CMMC Level 2 compliance. EPC Group configures the full CMMC control mapping for defense industrial base organizations.
What government agencies has EPC Group worked with?
EPC Group has delivered Microsoft consulting services to federal agencies, state governments, municipal governments, and defense contractors. Due to contractual obligations, specific agency names are disclosed only during qualified procurement discussions.
How long does a government Power BI deployment typically take?
Government deployments typically take 4-8 months due to ATO (Authority to Operate) processes, security reviews, and procurement timelines. The technical implementation itself runs 8-16 weeks, but compliance documentation and approvals add 2-4 months.
Documented engagements
Each record publishes a redacted primary-source document — a client purchase order, executed agreement or payment record — with a SHA-256 hash you can recompute, and states what the document does not establish.

Power BI Strategy: 2026 Considerations for Government Power BI Consulting
Row-level security (RLS) and object-level security (OLS) are key compliance controls in Power BI Premium and Fabric F-SKU capacities. They are crucial for environments that follow regulations such as:
- HIPAA
- SOC 2
- FINRA
RLS scoped through service principal authentication is the only method that successfully passes a SOC 2 Type II auditor privilege-walk test. EPC Group applies service-principal RLS as a standard practice in all Power BI projects for regulated industries.
Power BI Copilot is based on the semantic model, not the underlying source data. This means that the accuracy of Copilot's answers depends on:
- The DAX measure definitions
- The field metadata, including display folders, descriptions, and hierarchies
- The synonyms taxonomy
The success of a Copilot deployment can vary significantly. For instance, a deployment that analysts keep using can be very different from one that users abandon.
This difference often comes down to how well the semantic model was prepared for Copilot.
Decision factors EPC Group evaluates
- Row-level security via service principal authentication
- Capacity sizing decision (F2/F4/F64+) tied to peak concurrent users and refresh window
- Copilot grounding quality assessment of semantic-model metadata
- Direct Lake mode adoption for Fabric-resident semantic models
- License optimization audit (Pro vs Premium Per User vs F-SKU)

Anonymized engagement summaries
EPC-reported accounts of client work. The client is not named, and supporting project records are not published in the Evidence Center, so these summaries are not part of its documented-engagement counts.
