Summary
Zava's platform team identified critical gaps in their resilience posture from untested backup procedures to missing encryption controls and unrestricted network access. By implementing a comprehensive availability and data protection strategy, they established the operational controls needed to meet compliance requirements and protect business-critical data.
You learned how to configure environment backup and restore operations with extended retention, enabling rapid recovery from accidental data loss or failed deployments. You implemented customer-managed encryption keys using Azure Key Vault, giving the organization control over their encryption lifecycle. You restricted environment access using IP firewall rules and enabled Customer Lockbox to ensure Microsoft support access requires explicit approval. Finally, you configured tenant isolation and Azure Synapse Link to control external access and enable analytics without impacting production.
