Reason for Proposed Changes

  • Currently there is no query to ensure that resources of type "azurerm_data_protection_backup_vault" do not set the "soft_delete" field to "off"

  • Quoting CIS_Microsoft_Azure_Storage_Services_Benchmark_v1.0.0 page 59: "Important backup data could be accidentally deleted or removed by a malicious actor. With soft delete enabled, data is retained for at least 14 days before permanent deletion, allowing for the recovery of the backup data."

Proposed Changes

  • Implemented the missing query.
  • The query will flag any "azurerm_data_protection_backup_vault" resource that sets "soft_delete" to off.
