Additional metadata Name/Id: CMA_0401 / CMA_0401
Category: Operational
Title: Protect audit information
Ownership: Customer
Description: Microsoft recommends that your organization protect collected audit information and audit tools from unauthorized access, modification, and deletion. Your organization should consider creating and maintaining Audit and Accountability policies and standard operating procedures that govern auditing activities, including the collection and protection of audit information and tools. We also recommend that you define where audit log data is stored and what tools can be used to view, edit, or delete log data and how you prevent unauthorized access. Your information system may also implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of audit information and audit tools.
Requirements: The customer is responsible for implementing this recommendation.

CIS_Azure_1.1.0 5.1.5 CIS_Azure_1.1.0_5.1.5 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 5.1.5 5 Logging and Monitoring Ensure the storage container storing the activity logs is not publicly accessible Shared The customer is responsible for implementing this recommendation. The storage account container containing the activity log export should not be publicly accessible. link 3

The storage account with the activity log export container is configured to use BYOK (Use Your Own Key). link 4
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 5.1.3 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_5.1.3 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 5.1.3 5.1 Ensure the Storage Container Storing the Activity Logs is not Publicly Accessible Shared Configuring container `Access policy` to `private` will remove access from the container for everyone except owners of the storage account. Access policy needs to be set explicitly in order to allow access to other desired users. The storage account container containing the activity log export should not be publicly accessible. Allowing public access to activity log content may aid an adversary in identifying weaknesses in the affected account's use or configuration. link 3
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 5.1.4 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_5.1.4 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 5.1.4 5.1 Ensure the storage account containing the container with activity logs is encrypted with Customer Managed Key Shared **NOTE:** You must have your key vault setup to utilize this. All Audit Logs will be encrypted with a key you provide. You will need to set up customer managed keys separately, and you will select which key to use via the instructions here. You will be responsible for the lifecycle of the keys, and will need to manually replace them at your own determined intervals to keep the data secure. Storage accounts with the activity log exports can be configured to use Customer Managed Keys (CMK). Configuring the storage account with the activity log export container to use CMKs provides additional confidentiality controls on log data, as a given user must have read permission on the corresponding storage account and must be granted decrypt permission by the CMK. link 4
FedRAMP_High_R4 AU-9 FedRAMP_High_R4_AU-9 FedRAMP High AU-9 Audit And Accountability Protection Of Audit Information Shared n/a The information system protects audit information and audit tools from unauthorized access, modification, and deletion. Supplemental Guidance: Audit information includes all information (e.g., audit records, audit settings, and audit reports) needed to successfully audit information system activity. This control focuses on technical protection of audit information. Physical protection of audit information is addressed by media protection controls and physical and environmental protection controls. Related controls: AC-3, AC-6, MP-2, MP-4, PE-2, PE-3, PE-6.

Supplemental Guidance: Individuals with privileged access to an information system and who are also the subject of an audit by that system, may affect the reliability of audit information by inhibiting audit activities or modifying audit records. This control enhancement requires that privileged access be further defined between audit-related privileges and other privileges, thus limiting the users with audit-related privileges.
