CIS_Azure_2.0.0 3.9 CIS_Azure_2.0.0_3.9 CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark recommendation 3.9 3 Ensure 'Allow Azure services on the trusted services list to access this storage account' is Enabled for Storage Account Access Shared This creates authentication credentials for services that need access to storage resources so that services will no longer need to communicate via network request. There may be a temporary loss of communication as you set each Storage Account. It is recommended to not do this on mission-critical resources during business hours. Some Azure services that interact with storage accounts operate from networks that can't be granted access through network rules. To help this type of service work as intended, allow the set of trusted Azure services to bypass the network rules. These services will then use strong authentication to access the storage account. If the Allow trusted Azure services exception is enabled, the following services are granted access to the storage account: Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery, Azure DevTest Labs, Azure Event Grid, Azure Event Hubs, Azure Networking, Azure Monitor, and Azure SQL Data Warehouse (when registered in the subscription). Turning on firewall rules for storage account will block access to incoming requests for data, including from other Azure services. We can re-enable this functionality by enabling `"Trusted Azure Services"` through networking exceptions. link 6
CMMC_L3 AC.1.001 CMMC_L3_AC.1.001 CMMC L3 AC.1.001 Access Control Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, and devices (including other information systems). Shared Microsoft and the customer share responsibilities for implementing this requirement. Access control policies (e.g., identity- or role-based policies, control matrices, and cryptography) control access between active entities or subjects (i.e., users or processes acting on behalf of users) and passive entities or objects (e.g., devices, files, records, and domains) in systems. Access enforcement mechanisms can be employed at the application and service level to provide increased information security. Other systems include systems internal and external to the organization. This requirement focuses on account management for systems and applications. The definition of and enforcement of access authorizations, other than those determined by account type (e.g., privileged verses non-privileged) are addressed in requirement AC.1.002. link 31
CMMC_L3 AC.1.002 CMMC_L3_AC.1.002 CMMC L3 AC.1.002 Access Control Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute. Shared Microsoft and the customer share responsibilities for implementing this requirement. Organizations may choose to define access privileges or other attributes by account, by type of account, or a combination of both. System account types include individual, shared, group, system, anonymous, guest, emergency, developer, manufacturer, vendor, and temporary. Other attributes required for authorizing access include restrictions on time-of-day, day-of-week, and point-oforigin. In defining other account attributes, organizations consider system-related requirements (e.g., system upgrades scheduled maintenance,) and mission or business requirements, (e.g., time zone differences, customer requirements, remote access to support travel requirements). link 27
CMMC_L3 SC.3.183 CMMC_L3_SC.3.183 CMMC L3 SC.3.183 System and Communications Protection Deny network communications traffic by default and allow network communications traffic by exception (i.e., deny all, permit by exception). Shared Microsoft and the customer share responsibilities for implementing this requirement. This requirement applies to inbound and outbound network communications traffic at the system boundary and at identified points within the system. A deny-all, permit-by-exception network communications traffic policy ensures that only those connections which are essential and approved are allowed. link 30
RMiT_v1.0 10.55 RMiT_v1.0_10.55 RMiT 10.55 Access Control Access Control - 10.55 Shared n/a In observing paragraph 10.54, a financial institution should consider the following principles in its access control policy: (a) adopt a 'deny all' access control policy for users by default unless explicitly authorised; (b) employ 'least privilege' access rights or on a 'need-to-have' basis where only the minimum sufficient permissions are granted to legitimate users to perform their roles; (c) employ time-bound access rights which restrict access to a specific period including access rights granted to service providers; (d) employ segregation of incompatible functions where no single person is responsible for an entire operation that may provide the ability to independently modify, circumvent, and disable system security features. This may include a combination of functions such as: (i) system development and technology operations; (ii) security administration and system administration; and (iii) network operation and network security;" (e) employ dual control functions which require two or more persons to execute an activity; (f) adopt stronger authentication for critical activities including for remote access; (g) limit and control the use of the same user ID for multiple concurrent sessions; (h) limit and control the sharing of user ID and passwords across multiple users; and (i) control the use of generic user ID naming conventions in favour of more personally identifiable IDs. link 8
