Data protection

 

DP-1: Discover, classify, and label sensitive data

Feature: Sensitive Data Discovery and Classification

Description: Tools (such as Azure Purview or Azure Information Protection) can be used for data discovery and classification in the service.

Configuration Guidance: This feature isn't supported to secure this service.

DP-2: Monitor anomalies and threats targeting sensitive data

Feature: Data Leakage/Loss Prevention

Description: Service supports DLP solution to monitor sensitive data movement (in customer's content).

Configuration Guidance: This feature isn't supported to secure this service.

DP-3: Encrypt sensitive data in transit

Feature: Data in Transit Encryption

Description: Service supports data in-transit encryption for data plane.

Configuration Guidance: No additional configurations are required as this is enabled on a default deployment.

Other guidance for DP-3: Management plane calls are made through Azure Resource Manager over TLS. A valid JSON web token (JWT) is required. Data plane calls can be secured with TLS and one of supported authentication mechanisms (for example, client certificate or JWT).

DP-6: Use a secure key management process

Feature: Key Management in Azure Key Vault

Description: The service supports Azure Key Vault integration for any customer keys, secrets, or certificates.

Configuration Guidance: Set up integration of API Management with Azure Key Vault. Ensure that keys used by API Management are stored an Azure Key Vault so they can be securely accessed and updated.

DP-7: Use a secure certificate management process

Feature: Certificate Management in Azure Key Vault

Description: The service supports Azure Key Vault integration for any customer certificates.

Configuration Guidance: Set up integration of API Management with Azure Key Vault. Ensure that secrets for API Management (Named values) are stored an Azure Key Vault so they can be securely accessed and updated.

Use Azure Key Vault to create and control the certificate lifecycle, including creation, importing, rotation, revocation, storage, and purging of the certificate. Ensure the certificate generation follows defined standards without using any insecure properties, such as: insufficient key size, overly long validity period, insecure cryptography. Setup automatic rotation of the certificate in Azure Key Vault and the Azure service (if supported) based on a defined schedule or when there's a certificate expiration. If automatic rotation isn't supported in the application, ensure they're still rotated using manual methods in Azure Key Vault and the application.

Azure built-in roles for tables

Azure RBAC provides built-in roles for authorizing access to table data using Microsoft Entra ID and OAuth. Built-in roles that provide permissions to tables in Azure Storage include: Storage Table Data Contributor: Use to grant read/write/delete permissions to Table storage resources. Storage Table Data Reader: Use to grant read-only permissions to Table storage resources. To learn how to assign an Azure built-in role to a security principal, see Assign an Azure role for access to table data. To learn how to list Azure RBAC roles and their permissions, see List Azure role definitions. For more information about how built-in roles are defined for Azure Storage, see Understand role definitions. For information about creating Azure custom roles, see Azure custom roles. Only roles explicitly defined for data access permit a security principal to access table data. Built-in roles such as Owner, Contributor, and Storage Account Contributor permit a security principal to manage a storage acc...

Explore Dataflows Gen2 in Microsoft Fabric

  In Microsoft Fabric, you can create a Dataflow Gen2 in the Data Factory workload or Power BI workspace, or directly in the lakehouse. Since our scenario is focused on data ingestion, let's look at the  Data Factory  workload experience. Dataflows Gen2 use Power Query Online to visualize transformations.  1. Power Query ribbon Dataflows Gen2 support a wide variety of data source connectors. Common sources include cloud and on-premises relational databases, Excel or flat files, SharePoint, SalesForce, Spark, and Fabric lakehouses. Then there are numerous data transformations possible, such as: Filter and Sort rows Pivot and Unpivot Merge and Append queries Split and Conditional split Replace values and Remove duplicates Add, Rename, Reorder, or Delete columns Rank and Percentage calculator Choose Top N and Bottom N You can also create and manage data source connections, manage parameters, and configure the default data destination in this ribbon. 2. Queries pane The ...

Select and configure an appropriate method for access to Azure Blobs

Azure Storage supports using Microsoft Entra ID to authorize requests to blob data. With Microsoft Entra ID, you can use Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) to grant permissions to a security principal, which may be a user, group, or application service principal. The security principal is authenticated by Microsoft Entra ID to return an OAuth 2.0 token. The token can then be used to authorize a request against the Blob service. Authorization with Microsoft Entra ID is available for all general-purpose and Blob storage accounts in all public regions and national clouds. Only storage accounts created with the Azure Resource Manager deployment model support Microsoft Entra authorization. For optimal security, Microsoft recommends using Microsoft Entra ID with managed identities to authorize requests against blob, queue, and table data, whenever possible. Authorization with Microsoft Entra ID and managed identities provides superior security and ease of use over Shared Key author...
