# Azure storage account secure transfer should be enabled

> Checks that secure transfer (HTTPS) is required for Azure storage accounts.

Checks that secure transfer (HTTPS) is required for Azure storage accounts.

## About

When you connect Microsoft Azure to DSALTA, the platform evaluates this control on every sync using read-only API access. If the requirement is not met, DSALTA activates this check.

## Why This Matters

Addressing this check ensures your environment meets the security baseline expected by SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other compliance frameworks, and reduces the risk of misconfiguration, unauthorized access, or data loss.

## How to Fix

**Before you begin**

* Ensure you have administrator access to Microsoft Azure.

**Remediate the configuration**

1. Review the failing configuration in your **Microsoft Azure** console.
2. Apply the recommended setting to bring the resource into compliance.
3. Verify the change is active in the resource configuration.

Once the configuration is updated, DSALTA retrieves the change on the next sync and sets the check status to **Passing**.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How often does this check run?">
    This check runs automatically every 24 hours while the Microsoft Azure integration is connected. You can also trigger a manual sync from **Integrations** in the sidebar.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if it keeps failing?">
    A failing check appears in your **Data Library → Tests** dashboard. Work through the steps above; once the underlying configuration is fixed, the status updates automatically on the next sync.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I exclude this check?">
    Yes. If it does not apply to your environment, mark it as **Not Applicable** with a justification. The exclusion is documented for auditors.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does DSALTA change my Microsoft Azure configuration?">
    No. DSALTA uses **read-only API access** and never modifies, creates, or deletes resources. All remediation is performed by your team directly in Microsoft Azure.
