PowerCATToolkit April 2025 - Risk Assessment Update
✨ New Feature: Granular Privileges in Risk Assessment
We've added support for granular privilege-level configuration in the Risk Assessment tool!
You can now define risk tolerance not just by access depth (e.g., organization, business unit, user) — but also by specific Dataverse privileges such as Read, Write, Append, Delete, and more.
🔍 What’s New:
- Privilege-level risk scoring: Assign different risk levels to individual privileges within a table.
- Fine-tuned control: Customize what privileges are acceptable at each access level to match your organization's security posture.
- Improved transparency: Risk reports now break down which specific privileges triggered a noncompliant status.
📌 Why it matters:
This update allows for much more precise security policy enforcement, helping your org differentiate between low-impact and high-impact permissions across your Dataverse roles.
✅ How to use it:
- Go to Risk Settings.
- Select a role profile.
- Set risk levels for each privilege + access combination.
- Run a scan to see updated risk breakdowns by privilege.
