Use Governance Controls to Disable Anonymous Access in Power Pages (Preview)

In today’s digital world, most businesses and organizations prioritize protecting sensitive data. Power Pages gives administrators the power to disable anonymous access to their websites, which ensures that only authenticated users can view sensitive information. This entry covers how one can define anonymous access, explain its importance, and explore governance controls that can effectively eliminate such access.

What is Anonymous Access?

People access the content of sites anonymously, that is, without logging in or authenticating themselves. Such access can be useful for public information. However, it poses great security risks, especially when sensitive data is involved. In addition, disabling anonymous access reduces the risk of unauthorized users accessing any private or confidential information displayed on your sites.

Why Disable Anonymous Access?

1. Protect Sensitive Data: Access restrictions will also conveniently prevent the unintentional exposure of any potentially sensitive information, thereby permitting only authorized users to view it.
2. Enhance Security: Limitations on access will provide a window for your data to have physical protection with respect to external threats and vulnerabilities.
3. Compliance: Most organizations are mandated by law to have compliant data protection and disabling anonymous access will fulfill all conditions required for compliance.
