Category: Operational
Title: Manage system and admin accounts
Ownership: Customer
Description: Microsoft recommends that your organization define procedures for creating, enabling, modifying, disabling, and removing information system accounts and manage accounts in accordance with your organization's policies. Your organization should consider creating and maintaining Access Control policies and standard operating procedures that include details for account management. Microsoft recommends that your organization disable or change default user accounts defined in new software and hardware. It is recommended that Privileged Access and use of emergency IDs should be tightly controlled as it gives the user the ability to override system or application controls. The necessary controls include: - Formal approval process on a need-to-use or event-by-event basis - Prohibiting shared usage of privileged accounts and/or IDs - Logging and monitoring of activities performed - Proper safeguard of privileged and emergency IDs and passwords (i.e., kept in a sealed envelope and locked in a secure place inside the data center) - Change of privileged and emergency IDs' passwords immediately upon return by the requesters.
Requirements: The customer is responsible for implementing this recommendation.

CIS_Azure_2.0.0 1.10 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_1.10 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 1.10 1 Ensure That 'Notify all admins when other admins reset their password?' is set to 'Yes' Shared All Global Administrators will receive a notification from Azure every time a password is reset. This is useful for auditing procedures to confirm that there are no out of the ordinary password resets for Global Administrators. There is additional overhead, however, in the time required for Global Administrators to audit the notifications. This setting is only useful if all Global Administrators pay attention to the notifications, and audit each one. Ensure that all Global Administrators are notified if any other administrator resets their password. Global Administrator accounts are sensitive. Any password reset activity notification, when sent to all Global Administrators, ensures that all Global administrators can passively confirm if such a reset is a common pattern within their group. For example, if all Global Administrators change their password every 30 days, any password reset activity before that may require administrator(s) to evaluate any unusual activity and confirm its origin. link 10
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 1.8 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_1.8 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 1.8 1 Ensure that 'Number of days before users are asked to re-confirm their authentication information' is not set to '0' Shared Users will be prompted for their multifactor authentication at the duration set here. Ensure that the number of days before users are asked to re-confirm their authentication information is not set to 0. This setting is necessary if you have setup 'Require users to register when signing in option'. If authentication re-confirmation is disabled, registered users will never be prompted to re-confirm their existing authentication information. If the authentication information for a user changes, such as a phone number or email, then the password reset information for that user reverts to the previously registered authentication information. link 4
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 1.9 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_1.9 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 1.9 1 Ensure that 'Notify users on password resets?' is set to 'Yes' Shared Users will receive emails alerting them to password changes to both their primary and secondary emails. Ensure that users are notified on their primary and secondary emails on password resets. User notification on password reset is a proactive way of confirming password reset activity. It helps the user to recognize unauthorized password reset activities. link 5
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 4.1.4 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_4.1.4 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 4.1.4 4.1 Ensure that Azure Active Directory Admin is Configured for SQL Servers Shared This will create administrative overhead with user account and permission management. For further security on these administrative accounts, you may want to consider higher tiers of AAD which support features like Multi Factor Authentication, that will cost more. Use Azure Active Directory Authentication for authentication with SQL Database to manage credentials in a single place. Azure Active Directory authentication is a mechanism to connect to Microsoft Azure SQL Database and SQL Data Warehouse by using identities in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). With Azure AD authentication, identities of database users and other Microsoft services can be managed in one central location. Central ID management provides a single place to manage database users and simplifies permission management. - It provides an alternative to SQL Server authentication. - Helps stop the proliferation of user identities across database servers. - Allows password rotation in a single place. - Customers can manage database permissions using external (AAD) groups. - It can eliminate storing passwords by enabling integrated Windows authentication and other forms of authentication supported by Azure Active Directory. - Azure AD authentication uses contained database users to authenticate identities at the database level. - Azure AD supports token-based authentication for applications connecting to SQL Database. - Azure AD authentication supports ADFS (domain federation) or native user/password authentication for a local Azure Active Directory without domain synchronization. - Azure AD supports connections from SQL Server Management Studio that use Active Directory Universal Authentication, which includes Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA includes strong authentication with a range of easy verification options — phone call, text message, smart cards with pin, or mobile app notification. link 5
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 9.5 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_9.5 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 9.5 9 Ensure that Register with Azure Active Directory is enabled on App Service Shared n/a Managed service identity in App Service provides more security by eliminating secrets from the app, such as credentials in the connection strings. When registering with Azure Active Directory in App Service, the app will connect to other Azure services securely without the need for usernames and passwords. App Service provides a highly scalable, self-patching web hosting service in Azure. It also provides a managed identity for apps, which is a turn-key solution for securing access to Azure SQL Database and other Azure services. link 6
