# How to resolve Sprinto check for enabling “Secure transfer required” on Azure

### About: 

Sprinto Check: Azure storage account secure transfer required should be enabled

This Sprinto check verifies that the 'Secure Transfer Required' setting is enabled for your Azure storage accounts. This setting enforces the use of secure connections (HTTPS) when transferring data to and from the storage account, ensuring that data in transit is encrypted.

### Purpose:

The primary purpose of enabling 'Secure Transfer Required' is to enhance the security and privacy of data transfers to and from your Azure storage accounts. By enforcing secure connections, you can prevent unauthorized parties from intercepting and potentially compromising your data during transit.

### How to fix:

Follow the below procedure to fix the Sprinto check:

#### Before you begin:

* Ensure you have administrator privilege on the Azure account to modify cloud storage configurations.

#### Enabling “Secure transfer required” on Cloud storage accounts:

1. Log in to [Microsoft Azure Portal](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/get-started/azure-portal) using your credentials.
2. Navigate to the Storage accounts service.
3. Select the account for which you wish to enable configuration.

4. Click Configurations under Settings from the left-side navigation bar.

7. Repeat the above steps for every storage account that stores the organization’s critical data.

Sprinto will detect the configuration change and set the check status to "Passing."
