Azure Storage account with local data redundancy

Platform(s)
Compliance Frameworks

Description

It was detected that {AzureStorageAccount} Storage account is configured with local data redundancy. Azure Storage always stores multiple copies of your data so that it's protected from planned and unplanned events, including transient hardware failures, network or power outages, and massive natural disasters. Redundancy ensures that your storage account meets its availability and durability targets even in the face of failures. For Geo data redundancy, storage account data is being copied to a secondary region that is hundreds of miles away from the primary region. If your storage account is copied to a secondary region, then your data is durable even in the case of a complete regional outage or a disaster in which the primary region isn't recoverable.
  • Recommended Mitigation

    In order to keep high availability and durability for the data, select a geo data redundancy plan for your storage account.
