DisplayName: [Enable if required] SQL servers should use customer-managed keys to encrypt data at rest
Description: Using customer-managed keys for encrypting data at rest provides increased transparency, control, and security.
This is not assessed by default and should only be applied when required by compliance or restrictive policy requirements.
If not enabled, the data will be encrypted using platform-managed keys.
This is particularly relevant for organizations with related compliance requirements.
To implement this, update the 'Effect' parameter in the Security Policy for the applicable scope.

Remediation description: To configure your own encryption key for SQL Server Transparent Data encryption: 1. Select the SQL server. 2. On the Transparent data encryption page, select Customer-managed key. 3. For Key selection method, choose Select a key or Enter a key identifier if you have one. 4.
