Details of the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 (Azure Government) Regulatory Compliance built-in initiative

Artikel
10/30/2024

The following article details how the Azure Policy Regulatory Compliance built-in initiative definition maps to compliance domains and controls in System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 (Azure Government). For more information about this compliance standard, see System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2. To understand Ownership, review the policy type and Shared responsibility in the cloud.

The following mappings are to the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 controls. Many of the controls are implemented with an Azure Policy initiative definition. To review the complete initiative definition, open Policy in the Azure portal and select the Definitions page. Then, find and select the SOC 2 Type 2 Regulatory Compliance built-in initiative definition.

Important

Each control below is associated with one or more Azure Policy definitions. These policies may help you assess compliance with the control; however, there often is not a one-to-one or complete match between a control and one or more policies. As such, Compliant in Azure Policy refers only to the policy definitions themselves; this doesn't ensure you're fully compliant with all requirements of a control. In addition, the compliance standard includes controls that aren't addressed by any Azure Policy definitions at this time. Therefore, compliance in Azure Policy is only a partial view of your overall compliance status. The associations between compliance domains, controls, and Azure Policy definitions for this compliance standard may change over time. To view the change history, see the GitHub Commit History.

Key vaults should have deletion protection enabled	Malicious deletion of a key vault can lead to permanent data loss. You can prevent permanent data loss by enabling purge protection and soft delete. Purge protection protects you from insider attacks by enforcing a mandatory retention period for soft deleted key vaults.

Keep in mind that key vaults created after September 1st 2019 have soft-delete enabled by default.	Audit, Deny, Disabled	2.1.0
Key vaults should have soft delete enabled	Deleting a key vault without soft delete enabled permanently deletes all secrets, keys, and certificates stored in the key vault. Accidental deletion of a key vault can lead to permanent data loss. Soft delete allows you to recover an accidentally deleted key vault for a configurable retention period.
