The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Free assessment by Microsoft

The EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation is scheduled to take effect on May 25, 2018. Designed to serve as a uniform set of data protection laws within the EU, it will become law alongside the BDSG in Germany. This means that all affected companies will need to make extensive adjustments to the new legal landscape.

Here are the most important impending changes:

  • Expanded executive responsibility
  • Effective application of data protection law based on increased liability and fines
  • “Privacy by design” and “privacy by default” will become basic principles of data protection law
  • Data Protection Impact Assessments
  • Expanded obligation to report data incidents
  • Expanded documentation regulations (including with regard to information security management systems, or ISMS)
  • Expanded citizens’ rights
  • Modified role for data protection officers

Since there won’t be any transitional period as they take effect, you need to get your company ready for these new laws sooner rather than later.

“The data protection authorities are already preparing to intensify their auditing activities once the GDPR becomes law in May 2018,” warns Thomas Kranig, president of the Bavarian Data Protection Authority.

“Biding your time instead of getting ready for these changes is a very risky move.”

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls. My goal was to build a new PCF control and get into coding of PCF controls as fast as possible. Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete...

Power Automate: Avoid Apply to Each for List rows action (DataVerse)

If you do not want to use the Apply to Each loop after a Dataverse List rows action you can use the following in a Dynamic Content / Expression box to directly use a field's value in e.g. Compose action: first(outputs('List_rows')?['body/value'])?['apx_fullpath'] instead of apx_fullpath you can use whatever field name you need for the entity that's been queried before.

How to add your personal PowerBI Dashboard as a system dashboard
