# How to resolve Sprinto check to disable blob anonymous access on the Azure Cloud Storage account
### About:
Sprinto Check: Ensure that 'Allow Blob Anonymous Access' is set to 'Disabled'
This Sprinto check verifies that the 'Allow Blob Anonymous Access' setting is disabled for your Azure storage accounts. This setting determines whether anonymous (non-authenticated) users can access blobs (files and data) within the storage account.
### Purpose:
The primary purpose of disabling 'Allow Blob Anonymous Access' is to enhance the security of your Azure storage accounts by restricting anonymous access to your data. By default, this setting is disabled, ensuring that only authenticated users or applications with the appropriate permissions can access the blobs in your storage account.
### 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 storage account configuration.
#### Disabling Cross-Tenant Replication
1. Log in to the [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 storage account from the list for which you wish to change the configuration.
4. Click Configuration under the Settings from the left-side navigation blade.
5. Disable the Allow Blob anonymous access setting, and click Save to apply the changes.
6. Repeat the above steps for all Azure cloud storage accounts that store the organization’s critical data.
Sprinto will detect the configuration change and set the check status to "Passing."
Contact [Sprinto support](mailto:www.support@sprinto.com) if you have any queries related to the check or need assistance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.sprinto.com/monitors/encryption-and-backup-monitoring/how-to-resolve-sprinto-check-to-disable-blob-anonymous-access-on-the-azure-cloud-storage-account.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
