Control: 5.1.4 Ensure the storage account containing the container with activity logs is encrypted with Customer Managed Key

Description

Storage accounts with the activity log exports can be configured to use Customer Managed Keys (CMK).

Configuring the storage account with the activity log export container to use CMKs provides additional confidentiality controls on log data, as a given user must have read permission on the corresponding storage account and must be granted decrypt permission by the CMK.

Remediation

From Azure Portal

In right column, Click service Storage Accounts to access Storage account blade
Click on the storage account name
In Section SETTINGS click Encryption. It will show Storage service encryption configuration pane.
Check Use your own key which will expand Encryption Key Settings
Use option Enter key URI or Select from Key Vault to set up encryption with your own key

From Azure CLI

az storage account update --name <name of the storage account> --resourcegroup <resource group for a storage account> --encryption-keysource=Microsoft.Keyvault --encryption-key-vault <Key Vault URI> --encryption-key-name <KeyName> --encryption-key-version <Key Version>

Default Value

By default, for a storage account keySource is set to Microsoft.Storage allowing encryption with vendor Managed key and not a Customer Managed Key.

  case
    when a.encryption_key_source = 'Microsoft.Keyvault'
      then a.name || ' container insights-operational-logs encrypted with BYOK.'
    else a.name || ' container insights-operational-logs not encrypted with BYOK.'
  end as reason
