Azure_Security_Benchmark_v2.0 BR-1 Azure_Security_Benchmark_v2.0_BR-1 Azure Security Benchmark BR-1 Backup and Recovery Ensure regular automated backups Customer Ensure you are backing up systems and data to maintain business continuity after an unexpected event. This should be defined by any objectives for Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO). Enable Azure Backup and configure the backup source (e.g. Azure VMs, SQL Server, HANA databases, or File Shares), as well as the desired frequency and retention period. For a higher level of protection, you can enable geo-redundant storage option to replicate backup data to a secondary region and recover using cross region restore.

Azure_Security_Benchmark_v2.0 BR-2 Azure_Security_Benchmark_v2.0_BR-2 Azure Security Benchmark BR-2 Backup and Recovery Encrypt backup data Customer Ensure your backups are protected against attacks. This should include encryption of the backups to protect against loss of confidentiality. For on-premises backups using Azure Backup, encryption-at-rest is provided using the passphrase you provide. For regular Azure service backups, backup data is automatically encrypted using Azure platform-managed keys. You can choose to encrypt the backups using customer managed key. In this case, ensure this customer-managed key in the key vault is also in the backup scope. Use role-based access control in Azure Backup, Azure Key Vault, or other resources to protect backups and customer managed keys. Additionally, you can enable advanced security features to require MFA before backups can be altered or deleted.

CMMC_L3 RE.2.137 CMMC_L3_RE.2.137 CMMC L3 RE.2.137 Recovery Regularly perform and test data back-ups. Customer The customer is responsible for implementing this requirement. Backups are used to recover data in the event of a hardware or software failure. Backups should be performed and tested regularly based on an organizational defined frequency. link 6
CMMC_L3 RE.3.139 CMMC_L3_RE.3.139 CMMC L3 RE.3.139 Recovery Regularly perform complete, comprehensive and resilient data backups as organizationally-defined. Customer The customer is responsible for implementing this requirement. The processes and tools used to properly back up critical information with a proven methodology for timely recovery of it. When attackers compromise machines, they often make significant changes to configurations and software. Sometimes attackers also make subtle alterations of data stored on compromised machines, potentially jeopardizing organizational effectiveness with polluted data. When the attackers are discovered, it can be extremely difficult for organizations without a trustworthy data recovery capability to remove all aspects of the attacker’s presence on the machine. This practice is based on the following CIS controls: 10.1 Ensure that all system data is automatically backed up on a regular basis. 10.2 Ensure that all of the organization’s key systems are backed up as a complete system, through processes such as imaging, to enable the quick recovery of an entire system. 10.5 Ensure that all backups have at least one offline (i.e., not accessible via a network connection) backup destination. link 6
FedRAMP_High_R4 CP-6 FedRAMP_High_R4_CP-6 FedRAMP High CP-6 Contingency Planning Alternate Storage Site Shared n/a The organization: a. Establishes an alternate storage site including necessary agreements to permit the storage and retrieval of information system backup information; and b. Ensures that the alternate storage site provides information security safeguards equivalent to that of the primary site. Supplemental Guidance: Alternate storage sites are sites that are geographically distinct from primary storage sites. An alternate storage site maintains duplicate copies of information and data in the event that the primary storage site is not available. Items covered by alternate storage site agreements include, for example, environmental conditions at alternate sites, access rules, physical and environmental protection requirements, and coordination of delivery/retrieval of backup media. Alternate storage sites reflect the requirements in contingency plans so that organizations can maintain essential missions/business functions despite disruption, compromise, or failure in organizational information systems.

Supplemental Guidance: Threats that affect alternate storage sites are typically defined in organizational assessments of risk and include, for example, natural disasters, structural failures, hostile cyber attacks, and errors of omission/commission. Organizations determine what is considered a sufficient degree of separation between primary and alternate storage sites based on the types of threats that are of concern. For one particular type of threat (i.e., hostile cyber attack), the degree of separation between sites is less relevant. Related control: RA-3. link 6
