Business continuity Deprecated features still in active use
Data marts still being built months after deprecation. Or Map visuals set to stop working โ with no migration plan in place.
Security Publish-to-web enabled for all users
Reports and underlying data exposed to the public internet โ a critical setting found open in more tenants than you'd expect.
Governance Shadow Fabric adoption with no oversight
Individual users spinning up Fabric trial capacities โ hosting business-critical processes set to expire with no migration plan.
Business continuity Workspaces with no source control
A data warehouse weeks in development with no version history โ no way to compare changes, roll back a bad deployment, or recover a previous state.
Security Content shared directly to individual users
Items shared one-to-one rather than through workspaces and apps to security groups โ making access nearly impossible to audit or revoke at scale.
Governance Unsanctioned Fabric workloads
Lakehouses, warehouses, and notebooks created outside of approved governance processes โ often by well-meaning users, completely invisible to IT and leadership.
