Business Intelligence Systems are an important type of BI Infrastructure providing structures to convert raw data into actionable knowledge by organizations. But with this, dependency on data, also pose serious threats such as data security and compliance. BI solutions often combine sensitive and regulated data: personally identifiable information (PII), financial transactions, and healthcare records. Failing to safeguard the proprietary information adequately can lead to data breaches, financial penalties, and damage to a company’s reputation. Moreover, it argues for best practices covering multiple areas to ensure data security within BI: encryption, access control, auditing, data anonymization, etc. Regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX require specific policies to be enforced for the protection of sensitive data and accountability. Next is presented a comparative analysis of different BI security implementations through case studies in the financial and health sectors. Furthermore, the paper highlights the need for continuous compliance monitoring, employee training, and evolving architecture to stay abreast of emerging threats. It will yield concrete information that IT experts, business managers, and data engineers can use to protect BI environments while managing compliance concerns more effectively. Here we present a contribution and future work towards a foundation for a useful framework by integrating existing practices, technical measures and some policy proposals to describe resilient BI ecosystems. BNE: Business Needs Assessment (BNA) study has provided a perspective towards human-centric approach through performing process-to-technology assessment on how closely technology has been in alignment with the organizational processes in order to enhance data governance and compliance posture
