Company Name: Zebra BI d.d.

Company Service Name: Zebra BI visuals for Power BI

Company Service Description: Zebra BI is a Microsoft-certified add-in for Power BI, empowering users to create standardized and impactful dashboards that meet the IBCS® guidelines. This add-in makes it possible to establish best practice reports in a few clicks. Limited training, programming, or formulas are required.

Company's contact person: Maruša Govekar

Company's contact person email: sales@zebrabi.com

Company's address - Pot za Brdom 104, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia

Zebra BI is an independent software vendor and we do not provide customized software or services. Our software is Microsoft certified, which ensures the highest security and privacy standards for cloud services. Since we're not a SaaS service but a 3rd party Power BI visual we're fully reliant on Microsoft's security policies. We regularly go through a Microsoft certification process which enforces the highest security standards and ensures our compliance in various different areas.

Microsoft Certified Power BI visuals are Power BI visuals in AppSource that meet the Microsoft Power BI team code requirements. These visuals are tested to verify that they don't access external services or resources, and that they follow secure coding patterns and guidelines. Zebra BI visuals comply with these standards.

You can find an in-depth description of what is included in the certification process in Microsoft Power BI Certificatification Requirements document. 

More information can be accessed in the Microsofts' official documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/power-bi-custom-visuals-certified.

Zebra BI's certification icon on Microsoft Appsource marks the certification.

1. Access Control

The client’s data resides in the Power BI platform. Zebra BI visuals only display the data, which it gets through the Power BI API calls. No data is stored within the visual and no data is sent outside of the Power BI platform, meaning Zebra BI does not make external API calls. Our add-in only communicates through Power BI infrastructure. 

Zebra BI receives data through Microsoft Power BI's public API service. We only process the data and can't modify or alter it in any way. Microsoft's custom visual certification also guarantees that we are not accessing external services or exposing the data outside of our visual.  

For more information please refer to the official Microsoft documentation on third party visuals that possess a certification badge: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/power-bi-custom-visuals-certified 

Zebra BI does not handle data access. Data access is done separately through Microsoft Power BI and completely handled by Microsoft. 

Zebra BI does not require log-in, rather it only works with the license key. Login is required through Microsoft Power BI. 

Zebra BI is an add-on to Microsoft Power BI therefore user entitlements and provisioning and/or user group memberships management is done directly via the Microsoft Power BI.  

If a customer uses shared/generic accounts for Power BI, then Zebra BI visuals will also be accessed through them. 

Zebra BI visuals do not monitor and manage access to Microsoft Power BI.  

1.1 Zebra BI Architecture

Our product is Microsoft certified, meaning we do not track or store any data. Power BI takes care of all such requirements. Each product update that we launch goes through re-certification process again (which delays our launch cycle for 3 weeks) making sure that we still comply with all of their security procedures and requirements.
 
You can read more about the architecture of third party Microsoft certified visuals here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/power-bi-custom-visuals-certified
 
or here: https://zebrabi.com/zbi_blog/microsoft-approved-zebra-bi-visuals-for-power-bi-certified/.

Pentest report:  due to Zebra BI being a third-party visual for Microsoft Power BI we're completely in line with their Penetration testing processes. Based on the fact that there is already existing internal usage of Microsoft Power BI at RBI the same Penetration testing report is applicable.
Code scan report: this is performed and handled by Microsoft as a part of the certification process of each Microsoft Power BI visual.
List of external dependencies: Zebra BI is fully dependant on Microsoft CV API and MSFT tools. Upon request a list of applicable packages is available.

How does change management work?  The Zebra BI developer team prepares an updated version with new features and bug fixes that get published on AppSource on a monthly basis.
For you, the updates are seamless and simple. Your reports get updated automatically the next time when you open them - this means you don't have to do anything to update your visuals.
Each of these updates and upgrades go through a recertification process with Microsoft, so from the security point of view, the visuals always comply with security standards.

What is ZebraBI written in? - Typescript.

How often does the license last for?  And therefore how often does the license key change? The provided license key is valid for one year. At a yearly anniversary if you decide to extend the subscription, you receive a new license key.

Code scan is part of the certification process and it is performed each time we launch a product update (on a monthly basis). Based on the fact that Zebra BI is running in a sandboxed environment within the Power BI and only visualizes the data it receives through Microsoft's Power BI Custom visuals API, there is currently no way for a user to inject HTML code into our visual, which significantly reduces the options for a security breach.

2. Risk Management 

Zebra BI internal QA process ensures all vulnerability scans are performed regularly at least once per month and all vulnerability points are reviewed before each product update. All product updates go through the Microsoft recertification process as well. 

No vendor management is in place. All product development, support, etc. is done in-house.  

All open vulnerabilities are addressed immediately and implemented in the version of Zebra BI visuals. Depending on the severity, the fix can be submitted to Microsoft immediately or waits until the next product update and product certification. 

3. Human Resources Security 

Zebra BI checks the background of all our employees and contractors and ensures that are done in compliance and within the scope of the applicable national and EU legislation. 

4. Security Policy 

Zebra BI has its security and privacy policies defined and available on the public URL: https://zebrabi.com/legal/?doc=privacy-policy. Zebra BI has strict internal information security risk management processes in place. The processes are regularly assessed, reviewed, and communicated to all employees on a monthly basis. 

We are not allowed to track any user information or user activity within the visuals. Since all the data is hosted by Microsoft Power BI, no one can access it without permission and Zebra BI visuals cannot share it outside of the Power BI platform. Even for troubleshooting purposes, Zebra BI employees cannot access customer’s data without someone sharing a report with us explicitly. 

5. Organization of Information Security 

Informational Security is handled by our Lead Software Developer, Rok Jesenšek (rok.jesensek@zebrabi.com). 

Nobody outside Zebra BI has access to customers’ data, access is managed only through the Power BI Admin Center.  

No third-party service vendors have access to Zebra BI.  

Zebra BI receives data through Microsoft Power BI's public API service. We only process the data and can't modify or alter it in any way. Microsoft's custom visual certification also guarantees that we are not accessing external services or exposing the data outside of our visual.  

For more information, please refer to the official Microsoft documentation on third-party visuals that possess a certification badge: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/power-bi-custom-visuals-certified. 

Zebra BI internal QA process ensures all vulnerability scans are performed regularly at least once per month and all vulnerability points are reviewed before each product update. All product updates go through Microsoft recertification process as well. 

Zebra BI does not review Microsoft's security policies. The only vulnerability assessment Microsoft is willing to share is a matter of public knowledge. 

Zebra BI is an independent software vendor and we do not provide customized software or services. Our software is Microsoft certified, which ensures the highest security and privacy standards for cloud services.

Since we're not a SaaS service but a 3rd party Power BI visual we're fully reliant on Microsoft's security policies. We regularly go through a Microsoft certification process which enforces the highest security standards and ensures our compliance in various different areas. You can find an in-depth description of what is included in the certification process in Microsoft Power BI Certificatification Requirements document. 

We have standard employment and health insurance according to local and EU legislation, but we do not have coverage for any risk, security or other types of infringement - which is usually required for professional services or custom development companies. 

Zebra BI does not offer Service Level Agreements. The scope and scale of support services is defined within our End User License Agreement, available in the following link: https://zebrabi.com/legal/?doc=eula 

6. Physical and Environmental Security 

Zebra BI visuals do not store or process any data (all the data is handled by the Power BI). Each time our visuals undergo Microsoft certification, a guarantee that we do not store any data is issued. (Microsoft certification) Furthermore, when processing and displaying the data at runtime, the visuals cannot share the data outside of the Power BI platform.  

Zebra BI has specifically designated and defined areas in the offices which are physically separated and secured because they might contain sensitive data.

Zebra BI has multi-layer access control and alarm systems in place limiting access to any unauthorized personnel. 

Zebra BI enforces a clear desk and clear screen policy for all employees and includes all relevant training as a part of each employee's onboarding. A strict "lock screen" policy is in place for all laptops ensuring a maximum allowed period of the 60s before re-login is required.

7. Network Security and Operations Management 

Zebra BI has multi-layer protection against malware in place ranging from antivirus protection on all computers, advanced firewalls, and threat detection systems. 

Zebra BI has all maintenance activity monitored and logged in Bitbucket. 

Zebra BI has in place a multi-layer DLP concept which is available upon request.

Due to the nature of Zebra BI being a third-party Power BI visual, Zebra BI does not have access to customer data and therefore cannot be used in any non-productive environments. Power BI takes care of all data security. 

Zebra BI is completely in line with Microsoft Power BI's Penetration testing processes. Based on the fact that there is already existing internal usage of Microsoft Power BI at your company, the same Penetration testing report is applicable. 

Zebra BI internal QA process ensures all vulnerability scans are performed regularly at least once per month and all vulnerability points are reviewed before each product update. All product updates go through Microsoft recertification process as well.

We do not receive security vulnerability advisories from organizations such as CERT. All open vulnerabilities are addressed immediately and implemented in the next version of Zebra BI visuals. Depending on the severity, the fix can be submitted to Microsoft immediately or waits until the next product update and product certification. 

8. Information Systems Acquisitions, Development, and Maintenance 

Our change program and product update certification process entail Microsoft team review of Zebra BI source code ensuring that Zebra BI visuals don't access external services or resources and that they follow secure coding patterns and guidelines.

More information can be accessed in the official documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/power-bi-custom-visuals-certified. 

Microsoft certification ensures secure coding development, training, code reviews, vulnerability scanning, using correct libraries, code versioning tools implemented, and source code check-up. 

Zebra BI operation system is dependent on Power BI. Our development team, however, needs to ensure that up-to-date libraries are used in order to pass Microsoft certification.  

Only our published product which can be found on AppSource is available for your use.

Development and testing are done on our own data, as we do not have access to any customer data.

To access our support, you can write to dedicated team of in-house specialists which is available for mail/on-call direct support Mon-Fri, between usual working hours in the CET time zone.  

Premium Support Services can be acquired with Enterprise licensing package (1000 users or more).

The premium support services include but are not limited to: 

• Dedicated (named) account manager and dedicated (named) support engineer 
• Access to the product preview (beta) program 
• Ability to influence the Zebra BI product roadmap and strategy
• Prioritized feature requests 
• Proactive support services and guidance (i. e. advice in case of performance issues) 
• Accelerated resolution of support requests and prioritized escalations 

9. Information Security Incident Management 

Zebra BI is an add-on to Microsoft Power BI, therefore we are fully dependent on Power BI SIEM solutions. 

In the case of failure, restarting or reloading the Power BI environment will restart all the processes. 

Zebra BI will notify customer without undue delay after verification of a security incident; continuously inform the customer of the measures we are taking or intend to take and use all reasonable efforts to avoid such
incidents.

All incidents are communicated to the end-user via official channels in the turnaround of 24 hours.

Official channels include but are not limited to: Zebra BI official website, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts as well as direct communication through email to the official Zebra BI account holder on the RBI side.

Version: 1.0.0

Last modified: 30. 1. 2023

At a glance 

Zebra BI for Microsoft Office is an add-in for Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint obtainable solely via Microsoft AppSource. Zebra BI empowers users to create standardized and impactful dashboards in a few clicks with only limited training and no programming. It runs entirely in the Office sandbox environment and neither collects nor stores any user data outside its local running environment. As such it avoids most of the security risks SaaS BI solutions usually introduce.

Introduction

Zebra BI for Office comprises of two add-ins:

• Zebra BI Tables for Office 
• Zebra BI Charts for Office

Both add-ins are available for Excel and PowerPoint.

Zebra BI Tables for Excel, Zebra BI Tables for PowerPoint, Zebra BI Charts for Excel, and Zebra BI Charts for PowerPoint are all official Microsoft Office Add-ins and thereby comply with all of Microsoft’s publishing requirements and processes as specified in Deploy and publish Office Add-ins and Commercial marketplace certification policies. 

Obtaining Zebra BI for Office

Zebra BI for Office can only be obtained from Microsoft AppSource. The add-in code is served via HTTPS from an Azure App Server controlled by Zebra BI.

As with all AppSource add-ins, updates are seamless and automatic.

Running Zebra BI for Office

Environment

Zebra BI for Office runs in a sandboxed environment within Microsoft Office and accesses user data only through Microsoft's Office add-ins API.

After the add-in has been inserted no further data or code is fetched from anywhere. 

Supported Microsoft Office versions

Retail license: Office 2016, 2019, 2021, Office 365: Version 2105 (Build 14026.20308)
Volume license: Office 2021: Version 1808 (Build 10730.20102)

Authentication

Authentication is done via Microsoft SSO.

Required permissions and access to account data

Permissions required to run Zebra BI for Office are profile and openid as defined in Microsoft Graph API.

These are in term used to get the following account data via MSAL:

• tenant ID - unique identification of the organization to which the user belongs as assigned by Microsoft,
• object ID - unique identification of the user as assigned by Microsoft,
• full name - full name of the user identified by object ID,
• email - email of the user  identified by object ID.

Data obtained thereby is used for license verification and is not retained. 

Users wishing to use data linking from Excel to PowerPoint also need to grant Zebra BI for Office read permission to Microsoft Sharepoint.

License verification

License is verified each time the Zebra BI for Office add-in is loaded. The verification is performed via an external license server fully developed and run by Zebra BI.

The licensing server receives a JSON Web Token (JWT) containing tenant ID, object ID, and email and responds with license information. Communication with the Zebra BI licensing server is done via a secure HTTPS connection. The server is running on Microsoft Azure.

User and permission management

As Zebra BI of Office is an Office Add-in all user and permission management is done in Microsoft Office itself. 

User data handling

Zebra BI for Office runs in a sandboxed environment within Microsoft Office and accesses user data only through Microsoft's Office add-ins API. Zebra BI does not collect nor store any user data outside the local running environment. 

For the most part user data access is read-only. Only exceptions are:

• the optional generate dummy data for easier data preparation functionality in Zebra BI for Excel which uses the write-back functionality of the Microsoft Office JavaScript API to fill the dummy data into the Excel spreadsheet;
• when inserting a Zebra BI Table or Chart into PowerPoint the data backing it is stored as a spreadsheet component embedded in the PowerPoint document. No other parts of the presentation are touched (neither written to, nor read from).

Development practices

Code for Zebra BI is stored using version control. We employ 4-eye review with branch protection and push to production deployment only possible by a pull request. Therefore any changes to the code and the deployed version have an audit trail and can only be done by select employees. 

Human resource security

Zebra BI checks the background of all employees to the extent permissible by applicable national and EU legislation.  

We annually review permissions and access levels of all employees. 

Permission and access revocation is part of our standard offboarding.

Vulnerability Management

We have in place a continual process of identifying, prioritizing, mitigating and remediating vulnerabilities. 

Scope

We apply the same vulnerability management process to all Zebra BI software as well all systems that are involved in serving or operating the former.

Standard

• Application (add-in, license server) vulnerability scanning must occur on a minimum of a monthly basis.
• Infrastructure (operating systems and databases) vulnerability scanning must occur on a minimum of a monthly basis.
• Vulnerability scanners must be up to date (latest version)
• Third party penetration testing must be performed annually.
• Vulnerability remediation SLA timeframes begin as soon as a vulnerability is detected.

Vulnerability Reporting

Security vulnerabilities are to be reported to security@zebrabi.com and only there. 

Our Vulnerability handling processes follows the ISO/IEC 30111 standard.

END OF SECURITY ASSESSMENT

Certified Power BI visuals are Power BI visuals in AppSource that meet the Microsoft Power BI team code requirements. These visuals are tested to verify that they don't access external services or resources, and that they follow secure coding patterns and guidelines.

Certified Power BI visuals offer more features than non-certified visuals. For example, you can export to PowerPoint, or display the visual in received emails when a user subscribes to report pages.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/power-bi-custom-visuals-certified#certification-requirements

What tests are done during the certification process?

The certification process tests include but aren't limited to:

• Code reviews
• Static code analysis
• Data leakage
• Data fuzzing
• Penetration testing
• Access XSS testing
• Malicious data injection
• Input validation
• Functional testing

Are certified Power BI visuals checked again with every new submission (upgrade)?

Yes. Every time a new version of certified visual is submitted to the Marketplace, the visual's version update goes under the same certification checks.

The version update certification is automatic. If the update is rejected because of a violation, an email is sent to the developer explaining what needs to be fixed.

Can a certified Power BI visual lose its certification after a new update?

No. A certified visual can't lose its certification with a new update. Instead, the update would be rejected.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/power-bi-custom-visuals-faq

Certification requirements

To get your Power BI visual certified, it must meet the requirements listed in this section.

General requirements

Power BI visual has to be approved by Partner Center. Before requesting certification, it is recommended that you publish your Power BI visual in AppSource.

Before submitting Power BI visual for certification,we verify that:

• The visual complies with the guidelines for Power BI visuals
• The visual passes all the required tests
• The compiled package exactly matches the submitted package

Code repository requirements

Although you don't have to publicly share your code in GitHub, the code repository has to be available for a review by the Power BI team. The best way to do this is by providing the source code (JavaScript or TypeScript) in GitHub.

The repository must contain:

• Code for only one Power BI visual. It can't contain code for multiple Power BI visuals, or unrelated code.
• A branch named certification (lowercase required). The source code in this branch has to match the submitted package. This code can only be updated during the next submission process, if you're resubmitting your Power BI visual.

If your Power BI visual uses private npm packages, or git submodules, you must provide access to the additional repositories containing this code.

To understand how a Power BI visual repository looks, review the GitHub repository for the Power BI visuals sample bar chart.

File requirements

Use the latest version of the API to write the Power BI visual.

The repository must include the following files:

• .gitignore - Add node_modules, .tmp and, dist to this file. The code
  cannot include the node_modules, .tmp, or dist folders.
• capabilities.json - If you are submitting a newer version of an existing
  Power BI visual with changes to the properties in this file, verify that they
  do not break reports for existing users.
• pbiviz.json
• package.json. The visual must have the following package installed:
  • "tslint" - Version 5.18.0 or higher
  • "typescript" - Version 3.0.0 or higher
  • "tslint-microsoftcontrib" - Version 6.2.0 or higher
  • The file must contain a command for running linter - "lint": "tslint -c tslint.json -p tsconfig.json"
• package-lock.json
• tsconfig.json

Command requirements

Make sure that the following commands don't return any errors.

• npm install
• pbiviz package
• npm audit - Must not return any warnings with high or moderate level.
• TSlint from Microsoft with the required configuration. This command must not return any lint errors.

Compiling requirements

Use the latest version of powerbi-visuals-tools to write the Power BI visual.

Compile your Power BI visual with pbiviz package. If you're using your own build scripts, provide a npm run package custom build command.

Source code requirements

Make sure you follow the Power BI visuals additional certification policy list. If your submission doesn't follow these guidelines, you'll get a rejection email from Partner Center with the policy numbers listed in this link.

Follow the code requirements listed below to make sure that your code is in line with the Power BI certification policies.

Required:

• Only use public reviewable OSS components such as public JavaScript or TypeScript libraries.
• The code must support the Rendering Events API.
• Ensure DOM is manipulated safely. Use sanitization for user input or user data, before adding it to DOM.
• Use the sample report as a test dataset.

Not allowed:

• Accessing external services or resources. For example, no HTTP/S or WebSocket requests can go out of Power BI to any services.
• Using innerHTML, or D3.html(user data or user input).
• JavaScript errors or exceptions in the browser console, for any input data.
• Arbitrary or dynamic code such as eval(), unsafe use of settimeout(), requestAnimationFrame(), setinterval(user input function), and user input or user data.

The policies listed in this section apply only to Power BI visuals offers.

Certification requirements

Code repository

Your visual source code must conform to the visual code repository requirements. The code repository for your visual should be available and correctly formatted.

Code quality

Your source code should be readable, maintainable, expose no functionality errors, and correspond to the provided visual's package.

Code security

Your source code should comply with all security and privacy policies. Source code must be safe and not pass or transmit customer data externally.

Code functionality

Running visual development related commands on top of your visual source code should not return any errors.

Visual consumption should not expose any errors or failures and must ensure the functionality of any previous version is preserved.

Update without advanced certification

Power BI Visual additional certification does not apply automatically to updated visuals. All updates to certified Power BI Visuals must also be certified as part of the submission process.

Duplicate offers

Visuals that rely on access to external services or resources are not eligible to be certified Power BI visuals. You may submit duplicate versions of visuals to the Marketplace: a non-certified version that uses external services or resources, and a certified version that does not use external services or resources. The offer that accesses external services or resources must clearly state so in the description.
