Azure Compliance ControlsAzure Data Factory
Data factories should use private link
Azure Private Link lets you connect your virtual network to Azure services without a public IP address at the source or destination. By mapping private endpoints to Azure Data Factory, data leakage risks are reduced.
What this control checks
Checks that each data factory has private link configured
