Sprinto check: Ensure Web App Redirects All HTTP traffic to HTTPS in Azure App Service

The above-mentioned Sprinto check verifies that your Azure App Service web applications are configured to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS. HTTPS is a secure protocol that encrypts communication between the web server and the client, providing data protection and privacy.

Purpose:

The purpose of this check is to enforce the use of secure communication protocols for your web applications hosted on Azure App Service. By redirecting all HTTP traffic to HTTPS, you can ensure that sensitive data, such as user credentials and personal information, is transmitted securely over an encrypted connection. This measure helps protect your web applications and users from potential eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, and other security threats.

How to fix this check:

Follow the below steps to resolve this check:

Before you begin

  • Ensure you have the administrator privilege to manage Azure App Service settings.

  2. Navigate to the App Services service.

  3. Click on your desired app from the list.
