SQL AuditNew
Connects to your Microsoft SQL Server instances to perform comprehensive security audits — reviewing user permissions, encryption status, auditing configuration, and CIS Benchmark compliance — so your databases are as hardened as the perimeter protecting them.
SQL Audit
Database security auditing and CIS compliance
Key capabilities
Permission Auditing
Reviews every database login, user mapping, and role assignment to surface over-privileged accounts and unnecessary sysadmin rights.
Encryption Assessment
Verifies Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), backup encryption, and connection encryption status across all databases and instances.
Audit Configuration Review
Checks that SQL Server Audit is configured and capturing the event categories required by CIS Benchmark and compliance frameworks.
CIS Benchmark Scoring
Evaluates your SQL Server configuration against CIS Microsoft SQL Server Benchmark controls with a per-check pass/fail breakdown.
Risk Finding Highlights
Prioritises the highest-risk findings — public synonyms, orphaned users, linked server trust — with remediation guidance for each.

Export a full SQL security audit report for compliance evidence, auditor submissions, and internal remediation tracking.
