Build an approval process for Gateways before they become Active on a tenant. The approval process would be manged by the Power BI Admin. This approval process could be a feature the Power BI Admin can enable / disable, defaulting to disabled to retrain backward compatibility.
Current reality allows anyone with a Pro License to push any internal data they have access too to the service. With the right permission they can then push this data public without restrictions.
This feature is a must have in an Enterprise concerned about how data is used / managed. Just because some has access to a data source doesn't mean Data Admin wan't this source to become publicly available via Power BI Service.

RE: Approval Process for Gateways / Prevent Personal Gateways
I am in the same boat as others...while office 365 auditing has kept the wolves at bay, we still need the ability to prevent personal gateways, approve who can do a gateway (or whitelist users), and be able to see settings of all gateways for reporting/auditing purposes.
I know gateways are not 100% a BI resource and is available for use with other PowerApps, should it be spun off to its own team so that concerns like the ones mentioned below can be corrected? I have been waiting almost a year like Ray and no mention of these security issues being addressed.
RE: Approval Process for Gateways / Prevent Personal Gateways
This is a MUST for our org to use Power BI at an enterprise level. Power BI Admin console does not provide enough audit and controls for admins.
RE: Approval Process for Gateways / Prevent Personal Gateways
I like Casey's idea of a simple tenant setting that will enable/disable personal gateways. The individual approval process requested by Ray sounds great but I would imagine Casey's idea is faster for the Power BI team to implement.
RE: Approval Process for Gateways / Prevent Personal Gateways
There are a large number of governance and data security issues which need to be addressed.
This was one we had not considered but is quite valid and concerning.
