Azure Geo Replication Disabled

Description

Detects Azure Storage Accounts that are not configured with geo-replication capabilities. Without geo-replication enabled, storage accounts are vulnerable to regional outages and disasters, potentially leading to data unavailability or loss.

Weakness:

101 - Lack of protection against deletion

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    Reports a vulnerability when a Storage Account's SKU is not set to any of the geo-redundant options (Standard_GRS, Standard_GZRS, Standard_RAGRS, or Standard_RAGZRS)

    Checks the storage account's SKU name property to verify if geo-replication is enabled

    Evaluates each storage account in the subscription to ensure proper disaster recovery configurations are in place
