Policy: Azure > CIS v4.0 > 10 - Storage Services > 10.01 - Azure Files > 10.01.01 - Ensure soft delete for Azure File Shares is Enabled

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

Soft delete for Azure File Shares enables protection against accidental deletion. When soft delete is enabled, if a file share is deleted, it transitions to a soft deleted state instead of being permanently erased. You can configure the amount of time soft deleted data is recoverable before it's permanently deleted, and undelete the share anytime during this retention period.

Enabling soft delete protects file share data from accidental deletes and allows recovery of deleted file shares within the configured retention period.
