Azure Backup enables you to manage fine-grained access using [Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/role-based-access-control/built-in-roles). RBAC allows you to segregate duties within your team and grant only the amount of access to users necessary to do their jobs.

Encryption protects your data and helps you to meet your organizational security and compliance commitments. Within Azure, data in transit between Azure storage and the vault is protected by HTTPS. This data remains on the Azure backbone network.

* Backup data is automatically encrypted using Microsoft-managed keys. You also can encrypt your backed up managed disk VMs in the Recovery Services Vault using [customer managed keys](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/backup/backup-azure-security-feature-cloud#encryption-of-backup-data-using-customer-managed-keys) stored in the Azure Key Vault. You don't need to take any explicit action to enable this encryption. It applies to all workloads being backed up to your Recovery Services vault.

Azure Backup provides security features to help protect backup data even after deletion. One such feature is soft delete. With soft delete, if a malicious actor deletes the backup of a VM (or backup data is accidentally deleted), the backup data is retained for 14 additional days, allowing the recovery of that backup item with no data loss. The additional 14 days retention of backup data in the "soft delete" state doesn't incur any cost to the customer. [Learn more about soft delete](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/backup/backup-azure-security-feature-cloud#soft-delete).
