This project is to deploy Azure CIS Benchmark 1.1.0 in Azure China cloud.
See Details of the CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark Regulatory Compliance built-in initiative for details.
Most of the built-in policies used by public Azure has already been landed to Azure China cloud, except following ones:
| Name | Can be deployed to Azure China cloud |
|---|---|
| Adaptive network hardening recommendations should be applied on internet facing virtual machines | No |
| [Preview]: Key Vault keys should have an expiration date | No |
| [Preview]: Key Vault secrets should have an expiration date | No |
| [Preview]: Storage account public access should be disallowed | Yes |
| Key vaults should have purge protection enabled | Yes |
| Function apps should have 'Client Certificates (Incoming client certificates)' enabled | Yes |
For the ones that can be deployed to Azure China cloud, we can create custom policies instead.
- Install Azure PowerShell module.
- Have an Azure China (21ViaNet) subscription.
- Have an Azure AD account with Tenant Root management group owner permission, or with Azure AD global admin permission.
- Download files in the script folder to a local folder.
- Login Azure portal with an account that is the owner of the tenant root management group. Alternatively if you have an Azure AD global admin, follow https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/elevate-access-global-admin to elevate the permission, and assign the owner permission of the Tenant Root Group to the account.
- Open a PowerShell window, navigate to the local folder.
- Run deploy.ps1, and provide the Azure AD tenant ID when prompted.
- Login the account when prompted login window.
- The script will generate 3 custom policies and a custom initiative named
CIS Azure Benchmark 1.1.0. You can either go to policy assignment page or security center security policy page to assign this initiative.
