Discussion

Azure SQL Managed Instance handling data requiring data-at-rest protections must employ cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure and modification of the information at rest. Selection of a cryptographic mechanism is based on the need to protect the integrity of organizational information. The strength of the mechanism is commensurate with the security category and/or classification of the information.

Check Content

Review the system documentation to determine whether the organization has defined the information at rest that is to be protected from modification, which must include, at a minimum, PII and classified information. 

If no information is identified as requiring such protection, this is not a finding.  

Review the configuration of the Azure SQL Managed Instance to ensure data-at-rest protections are implemented. 

If any of the information defined as requiring cryptographic protection from modification is not encrypted in a manner that provides the required level of protection, this is a finding. 

Use the query below to check the encryption status for each database. If any databases have an is_encrypted status of "0", this is a finding. 

SELECT [name] AS DatabaseName,is_encrypted FROM master.sys.databases WHERE database_id > 4;
