There is a moment in every platform evaluation when someone asks, "but can we get the data out?" The honest answer from most vendors is a scheduled CSV export — a snapshot that is stale by the time anyone opens it, living in a folder nobody remembers.
Microsoft-centric organizations deserve a better answer, because they already own the tools: Power BI for analysis, Power Automate for workflow. TATER meets both natively.
Six Datasets, Zero Export Buttons
TATER exposes flat, BI-ready datasets covering compliance posture, controls, risks, remediations, devices, and activity — importable directly into Power BI Desktop. The analyst who maintains the company's operations dashboard adds TATER as a source the same way they add the sales database, and compliance posture becomes a page in the workbook leadership already opens on Mondays. Refresh pulls live data; nobody emails a file.
Workflows That React to Compliance Events
The custom Power Automate connector works both directions. Triggers fire on platform events — a completed scan being the workhorse — so a flow can post the posture change to Teams, open a ticket in an external system, or notify the control owner whose domain regressed. Actions let flows write back: create a risk, trigger a remediation, file a record. The compliance platform stops being a destination someone must remember to visit and starts participating in the automation fabric the organization already runs.
A Concrete Monday Morning
The weekly scan completes at 2 a.m. Sunday. By Monday standup: the Power BI dashboard shows the posture trend with the weekend's scan included, a Power Automate flow has opened tickets for the two controls that regressed, and the CISO's Teams channel carries a one-line summary with a link. Nobody exported anything. That is what "integration" is supposed to mean.
