By setting this policy, you attest that you have manually verified that it complies with the relevant section of the CIS Benchmark.

Azure Console

  1. Go to Storage Accounts
  2. For each storage account, go to Activity log
  3. Under Timespan drop-down, select Custom and choose Start time and End time such that it ranges 90 days
  4. Enter RegenerateKey in the Search text box
  5. Click Apply It should list out all RegenerateKey events. If no such event exists, then this is a finding.

Azure Command Line Interface 2.0 Step 1 - Get a list of storage accounts az storage account list Make a note of id, name and resourceGroup. Step 2 For every storage account make sure that key is regenerated in past 90 days. az monitor activity-log list --resource-group

The output should contain
"authorization"/"scope": <your_storage_account> AND "authorization"/"action": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/regenerateKey/action" AND "status"/"localizedValue": "Succeeded" "status"/"Value": "Succeeded" AND "eventTimestamp" : (Should return time and date should be less than past 90 days)

Once verified, enter the date that this attestation expires. Note that the date can not be further in the future than is specified in Azure > CIS v1 > Maximum Attestation Duration. Set to a blank value to clear the attestation.

Azure > CIS v1 > 3 Storage > 3.03 Ensure Storage logging is enabled for Queue service for read, write, and delete requests (Not Scored)

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 2 (Not Scored)

The Storage Queue service stores messages that may be read by any client who has access to the storage account. A queue can contain an unlimited number of messages, each of which can be up to 64KB in size using version 2011-08-18 or newer. Storage Logging happens server-side and allows details for both successful and failed requests to be recorded in the storage account. These logs allow users to see the details of read, write, and delete operations against the queues. Storage Logging log entries contain the following information about individual requests:Timing information such as start time, end-to-end latency, and server latency, authentication details , concurrency information and the sizes of the request and response messages.

Level: 2 (Not Scored)

Some Microsoft services that interact with storage accounts operate from networks that can't be granted access through network rules. To help this type of service work as intended, allow the set of trusted Microsoft services to bypass the network rules. These services will then use strong authentication to access the storage account. If the Allow trusted Microsoft services exception is enabled, the following services: Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery, Azure DevTest Labs, Azure Event Grid, Azure Event Hubs, Azure Networking, Azure Monitor and Azure SQL Data Warehouse (when registered in the subscription), are granted access to the storage account.

Azure > CIS v1 > 4 Database Services > 4.10 Ensure SQL server's TDE protector is encrypted with BYOK (Use your own key) (Scored)

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 2 (Scored)

TDE with BYOK support provides increased transparency and control over the TDE Protector, increased security with an HSM-backed external service, and promotion of separation of duties. With TDE, data is encrypted at rest with a symmetric key (called the database encryption key) stored in the database or data warehouse distribution. To protect this data encryption key (DEK) in the past, only a certificate that the Azure SQL Service managed could be used. Now, with BYOK support for TDE, the DEK can be protected with an asymmetric key that is stored in the Key Vault. Key Vault is a highly available and scalable cloud-based key store which offers central key management, leverages FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated hardware security modules (HSMs), and allows separation of management of keys and data, for additional security. Based on business needs or criticality of data/databases hosted a SQL server, it is recommended that the TDE protector is encrypted by a key that is managed by the data owner (BYOK).

SSL connectivity helps to provide a new layer of security, by connecting database server to client applications using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Enforcing SSL connections between database server and client applications helps protect against "man in the middle" attacks by encrypting the data stream between the server and application.

Resource Manager Locks provide a way for administrators to lock down Azure resources to prevent deletion of, or modifications to, a resource. These locks sit outside of the Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) hierarchy and, when applied, will place restrictions on the resource for all users. These are very useful when there is have an important resource in a subscription that users should not be able to delete or change and can help prevent accidental and malicious changes or deletion.

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1 (Scored)

The key vault contains object keys, secrets and certificates. Accidental unavailability of a key vault can cause immediate data loss or loss of security functions (authentication, validation, verification, non-repudiation, etc.) supported by the key vault objects. It is recommended the key vault be made recoverable by enabling the &quot;Do Not Purge&quot; and &quot;Soft Delete&quot; functions. This is in order to prevent loss of encrypted data including storage accounts, SQL databases, and/or dependent services provided by key vault objects (Keys, Secrets, Certificates) etc., as may happen in the case of accidental deletion by a user or from disruptive activity by a malicious user.

Azure > CIS v1 > 8 Other Security Considerations > 8.05 Enable role-based access control (RBAC) within Azure Kubernetes Services (Scored)

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1 (Scored)

Azure Kubernetes Services has the capability to integrate Azure Active Directory users and groups into Kubernetes RBAC controls within the AKS Kubernetes API Server. This should be utilized to enable granular access to Kubernetes resources within the AKS clusters supporting RBAC controls not just of the overarching AKS instance but also the individual resources managed within Kubernetes.

Azure > CIS v1 > 9 Application Services > 9.01 Ensure App Service Authentication is set on Azure App Service (Scored)

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1 (Scored)

Azure App Service Authentication is a feature that can prevent anonymous HTTP requests from reaching the API app, or authenticate those that have tokens before they reach the API app. If an anonymous request is received from a browser, App Service will redirect to a logon page. To handle the logon process, a choice from a set of identity providers can be made, or a custom authentication mechanism can be implemented.

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1 (Scored)

Azure Web Apps allows sites to run under both HTTP and HTTPS by default. Web apps can be accessed by anyone using non-secure HTTP links by default. Non-secure HTTP requests can be restricted and all HTTP requests redirected to the secure HTTPS port. It is recommended to enforce HTTPS-only traffic.
