Policy: Azure > CIS v2.0 > 03 - Storage Accounts > 3.11 - Ensure Soft Delete is Enabled for Azure Containers and Blob Storage

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

The Azure Storage blobs contain data like ePHI or Financial, which can be secret or personal. Data that is erroneously modified or deleted by an application or other storage account user will cause data loss or unavailability.

It is recommended that both Azure Containers with attached Blob Storage and standalone containers with Blob Storage be made recoverable by enabling the soft delete configuration. This is to save and recover data when blobs or blob snapshots are deleted.
