Control: Azure > CIS v3.0 > 08 - Virtual Machines > 08.06 - Ensure that 'Enable Data Access Authentication Mode' is 'Checked'

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

Data Access Authentication Mode provides a method of uploading or exporting Virtual Machine Disks.

Enabling data access authentication mode adds a layer of protection using an Entra ID role to further restrict users from creating and using Secure Access Signature (SAS) tokens for exporting a detached managed disk or virtual machine state. Users will need the Data operator for managed disk role within Entra ID in order to download a VHD or VM Guest state using a secure URL.
