Use encryption at rest on all Azure resources. Microsoft recommends allowing Azure to manage your encryption keys, however there is the option for you to manage your own keys in some instances.

Data Protection |
Protect sensitive data |
Shared |
Protect sensitive data by restricting access using Azure Role Based Access Control (Azure RBAC), network-based access controls, and specific controls in Azure services (such as encryption in SQL and other databases).
To ensure consistent access control, all types of access control should be aligned to your enterprise segmentation strategy. The enterprise segmentation strategy should also be informed by the location of sensitive or business critical data and systems.
For the underlying platform, which is managed by Microsoft, Microsoft treats all customer content as sensitive and guards against customer data loss and exposure. To ensure customer data within Azure remains secure, Microsoft has implemented some default data protection controls and capabilities.

Encrypt sensitive data at rest |
Shared |
To complement access controls, data at rest should be protected against ‘out of band’ attacks (such as accessing underlying storage) using encryption. This helps ensure that attackers cannot easily read or modify the data.
Azure provides encryption for data at rest by default. For highly sensitive data, you have options to implement additional encryption at rest on all Azure resources where available. Azure manages your encryption keys by default, but Azure provides options to manage your own keys (customer managed keys) for certain Azure services.

Enable data at rest encryption by default |
Shared |
**Security Principle:**
To complement access controls, data at rest should be protected against 'out of band' attacks (such as accessing underlying storage) using encryption. This helps ensure that attackers cannot easily read or modify the data.
**Azure Guidance:**
Many Azure services have data at rest encryption enabled by default at the infrastructure layer using a service-managed key.
Where technically feasible and not enabled by default, you can enable data at rest encryption in the Azure services, or in your VMs for storage level, file level, or database level encryption.

Information at rest refers to the state of information when it is not in process or in transit and is located on storage devices as specific components of systems. The focus of protection at rest is not on the type of storage device or the frequency of access but rather the state of the information. Organizations can use different mechanisms to achieve confidentiality protections, including the use of cryptographic mechanisms and file share scanning. Organizations may also use other controls including secure off-line storage in lieu of online storage when adequate protection of information at rest cannot otherwise be achieved or continuous monitoring to identify malicious code at rest. |

Agencies may also employ other security controls, including, for example, secure offline storage in lieu of online storage, when adequate protection of information at rest cannot otherwise be achieved or when continuously monitoring to identify malicious code at rest.
The confidentiality and integrity of information at rest shall be protected when located on a secondary (non-mobile) storage device (e.g., disk drive, tape drive) with cryptography mechanisms
FTI stored on deployed user workstations, in non-volatile storage, shall be encrypted with FIPS-validated or National Security Agency (NSA)-approved encryption during storage (regardless of location) except when no approved encryption technology solution is available that addresses the specific technology.

inventories, classifies, and manages information assets.
• Restricts Logical Access — Logical access to information assets, including hardware, data (at-rest, during processing, or in transmission), software, administrative
authorities, mobile devices, output, and offline system components is restricted
through the use of access control software and rule sets.
• Identifies and Authenticates Users — Persons, infrastructure, and software are
identified and authenticated prior to accessing information assets, whether locally
or remotely.
• Considers Network Segmentation — Network segmentation permits unrelated portions of the entity's information system to be isolated from each other.
• Manages Points of Access — Points of access by outside entities and the types of
data that flow through the points of access are identified, inventoried, and managed. The types of individuals and systems using each point of access are identified,
documented, and managed.
• Restricts Access to Information Assets — Combinations of data classification, separate data structures, port restrictions, access protocol restrictions, user identification, and digital certificates are used to establish access-control rules for information assets.
• Manages Identification and Authentication — Identification and authentication requirements are established, documented, and managed for individuals and systems
accessing entity information, infrastructure, and software.
• Manages Credentials for Infrastructure and Software — New internal and external
infrastructure and software are registered, authorized, and documented prior to being granted access credentials and implemented on the network or access point.
Credentials are removed and access is disabled when access is no longer required
or the infrastructure and software are no longer in use.
• Uses Encryption to Protect Data — The entity uses encryption to supplement other
measures used to protect data at rest, when such protections are deemed appropriate based on assessed risk.
• Protects Encryption Keys — Processes are in place to protect encryption keys during generation, storage, use, and destruction |
