Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

Public IP Addresses provide tenant accounts with Internet connectivity for resources contained within the tenant. During the creation of certain resources in Azure, a Public IP Address may be created. All Public IP Addresses within the tenant should be periodically reviewed for accuracy and necessity.

While an automated assessment procedure exists for this recommendation, the assessment status remains manual. Evaluating the appropriateness of public IP addresses requires a manual review, as it depends on the specific needs and context of each organization and environment.
