Purview account should disable public network access

High Azure General purview-no-public-access

Applies to

Microsoft.Purview/accounts

What CGPulse checks

A resource passes this rule when publicNetworkAccess must equal Disabled. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.

How to fix it

Disable public network access to prevent unauthorized internet exposure. In Azure Portal: Resource > Networking > set Public network access to Disabled. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/fundamentals/network-best-practices

Careful: Disabling public access blocks all portal and API access not using private endpoints

CLI

az resource update --ids "{id}" --set properties.publicNetworkAccess=Disabled

Terraform

resource "azurerm_purview_account" "{name}" {
  name                   = "{name}"
  resource_group_name    = "{rg}"
  location               = var.location
  public_network_enabled = false
  identity {
    type = "SystemAssigned"
  }
}
