Outdoor sub panel disconnect

[blackhawk82]

Hello - We are looking to run power to a small detached building. Due to the function of the building, we need to place the 100 amp sub-panel on the outside of the building. All the outdoor rated sub-panels that we can find use main lugs. Is it required to have a separate disconnect for the entire panel? Or do the individual circuit breakers suffice as a means for disconnect since they are located outside the building and easily accessible?
