- Implement customer-managed keys with Azure Key Vault rotation
- Apply column-level encryption for sensitive data
-
Use dynamic data masking for PII data
-
Identity and Access Management
- Implement Azure AD authentication for all access
- Use conditional access policies for sensitive workloads
- Apply least privilege principle with custom RBAC roles
-
Implement managed identities for service-to-service authentication
-
Monitoring and Compliance
- Enable diagnostic logs for all Synapse components
- Implement advanced threat protection for SQL pools
- Create custom alerts for security events
- Perform regular vulnerability assessments
