CIS_Azure_1.3.0 5.3 CIS_Azure_1.3.0_5.3 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 5.3 5 Logging and Monitoring Ensure that Diagnostic Logs are enabled for all services which support it. Shared The customer is responsible for implementing this recommendation. Diagnostic Logs capture activity to the data access plane while the Activity log is a subscription-level log for the control plane. Resource-level diagnostic logs provide insight into operations that were performed within that resource itself, for example, getting a secret from a Key Vault. Currently, 32 Azure resources support Diagnostic Logging (See the references section for a complete list), including Network Security Groups, Load Balancers, Key Vault, AD, Logic Apps and CosmosDB. The content of these logs varies by resource type. For example, Windows event system logs are a category of diagnostics logs for VMs, and blob, table, and queue logs are categories of diagnostics logs for storage accounts. A number of back-end services were not configured to log and store Diagnostic Logs for certain activities or for a sufficient length. It is crucial that logging systems are correctly configured to log all relevant activities and retain those logs for a sufficient length of time. By default, Diagnostic Logs are not enabled. Given that the mean time to detection in an enterprise is 240 days, a minimum retention period of two years is recommended. Note: The CIS Benchmark covers some specific Diagnostic Logs separately.

CIS_Azure_2.0.0 4.1.6 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_4.1.6 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 4.1.6 4.1 Ensure that 'Auditing' Retention is 'greater than 90 days' Shared n/a SQL Server Audit Retention should be configured to be greater than 90 days. Audit Logs can be used to check for anomalies and give insight into suspected breaches or misuse of information and access. link 5
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 4.3.6 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_4.3.6 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 4.3.6 4.3 Ensure Server Parameter 'log_retention_days' is greater than 3 days for PostgreSQL Database Server Shared Configuring this setting will result in logs being retained for the specified number of days. If this is configured on a high traffic server, the log may grow quickly to occupy a large amount of disk space. In this case you may want to set this to a lower number. Ensure `log_retention_days` on `PostgreSQL Servers` is set to an appropriate value. Configuring `log_retention_days` determines the duration in days that `Azure Database for PostgreSQL` retains log files. Query and error logs can be used to identify, troubleshoot, and repair configuration errors and sub-optimal performance. link 4
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 5.4 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_5.4 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 5.4 5 Ensure that Azure Monitor Resource Logging is Enabled for All Services that Support it Shared Costs for monitoring varies with Log Volume. Not every resource needs to have logging enabled. It is important to determine the security classification of the data being processed by the given resource and adjust the logging based on which events need to be tracked. This is typically determined by governance and compliance requirements. Resource Logs capture activity to the data access plane while the Activity log is a subscription-level log for the control plane. Resource-level diagnostic logs provide insight into operations that were performed within that resource itself; for example, reading or updating a secret from a Key Vault. Currently, 95 Azure resources support Azure Monitoring (See the more information section for a complete list), including Network Security Groups, Load Balancers, Key Vault, AD, Logic Apps, and CosmosDB. The content of these logs varies by resource type. A number of back-end services were not configured to log and store Resource Logs for certain activities or for a sufficient length. It is crucial that monitoring is correctly configured to log all relevant activities and retain those logs for a sufficient length of time. Given that the mean time to detection in an enterprise is 240 days, a minimum retention period of two years is recommended. A lack of monitoring reduces the visibility into the data plane, and therefore an organization's ability to detect reconnaissance, authorization attempts or other malicious activity. Unlike Activity Logs, Resource Logs are not enabled by default. Specifically, without monitoring it would be impossible to tell which entities had accessed a data store that was breached. In addition, alerts for failed attempts to access APIs for Web Services or Databases are only possible when logging is enabled. link 20
CIS_Azure_2.0.0 6.5 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_6.5 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 6.5 6 Ensure that Network Security Group Flow Log retention period is 'greater than 90 days' Shared This will keep IP traffic logs for longer than 90 days. As a level 2, first determine your need to retain data, then apply your selection here. As this is data stored for longer, your monthly storage costs will increase depending on your data use. Network Security Group Flow Logs should be enabled and the retention period set to greater than or equal to 90 days. Flow logs enable capturing information about IP traffic flowing in and out of network security groups. Logs can be used to check for anomalies and give insight into suspected breaches. link 3

NIST_SP_800-171_R2_3 .3.1 NIST_SP_800-171_R2_3.3.1 NIST SP 800-171 R2 3.3.1 Audit and Accountability Create and retain system audit logs and records to the extent needed to enable the monitoring, analysis, investigation, and reporting of unlawful or unauthorized system activity Shared Microsoft and the customer share responsibilities for implementing this requirement. An event is any observable occurrence in a system, which includes unlawful or unauthorized system activity. Organizations identify event types for which a logging functionality is needed as those events which are significant and relevant to the security of systems and the environments in which those systems operate to meet specific and ongoing auditing needs. Event types can include password changes, failed logons or failed accesses related to systems, administrative privilege usage, or third-party credential usage. In determining event types that require logging, organizations consider the monitoring and auditing appropriate for each of the CUI security requirements. Monitoring and auditing requirements can be balanced with other system needs. For example, organizations may determine that systems must have the capability to log every file access both successful and unsuccessful, but not activate that capability except for specific circumstances due to the potential burden on system performance. Audit records can be generated at various levels of abstraction, including at the packet level as information traverses the network. Selecting the appropriate level of abstraction is a critical aspect of an audit logging capability and can facilitate the identification of root causes to problems. Organizations consider in the definition of event types, the logging necessary to cover related events such as the steps in distributed, transaction-based processes (e.g., processes that are distributed across multiple organizations) and actions that occur in service-oriented or cloud-based architectures. Audit record content that may be necessary to satisfy this requirement includes time stamps, source and destination addresses, user or process identifiers, event descriptions, success or fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked. Event outcomes can include indicators of event success or failure and event-specific results (e.g., the security state of the system after the event occurred). Detailed information that organizations may consider in audit records includes full text recording of privileged commands or the individual identities of group account users. Organizations consider limiting the additional audit log information to only that information explicitly needed for specific audit requirements. This facilitates the use of audit trails and audit logs by not including information that could potentially be misleading or could make it more difficult to locate information of interest. Audit logs are reviewed and analyzed as often as needed to provide important information to organizations to facilitate risk-based decision making. [SP 800-92] provides guidance on security log management. link 50
