Control: 5.1.5 Ensure that logging for Azure KeyVault is 'Enabled'

Description

Enable AuditEvent logging for key vault instances to ensure interactions with key vaults are logged and available.

Monitoring how and when key vaults are accessed, and by whom enables an audit trail of interactions with confidential information, keys and certificates managed by Azure Keyvault. Enabling logging for Key Vault saves information in an Azure storage account that the user provides. This creates a new container named insights-logs-auditevent automatically for the specified storage account, and this same storage account can be used for collecting logs for multiple key vaults.

Remediation

From Azure Portal

Go to Keyvaults
For each Key vault
Go to Diagnostic settings
Click on Edit Settings
Enable Archive to a storage account
Check AuditEvent
Change the retention days to be 180, 0 (for indefinite) or as appropriate

From Azure CLI

az monitor diagnostic-settings update --name "Key vault retention policy" --resource "" --set retentionPolicy.days=90

Default Value

By default, Diagnostic AuditEvent logging is not enabled for Key Vault instances.
