SRG-APP-000001
Group -
The DBMS must limit the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number per user for all accounts and/or account types.
Database management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions utilizing a DBMS. Unlimited concurrent connections to the DBMS could allow a successful Denial of Service (...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000023
Group -
The DBMS must integrate with an organization-level authentication/access mechanism providing account management and automation for all users, groups, roles, and any other principals.
Enterprise environments make account management for applications and databases challenging and complex. A manual process for account management functions adds the risk of a potential oversight or o...Rule High Severity -

SRG-APP-000089
Group -
The DBMS must provide audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events within all DBMS/database components.
Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit re...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000090
Group -
The DBMS must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which auditable events are to be audited.
Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent or interfere with the auditing of critical events. ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000091
Group -
The DBMS must be able to generate audit records when privileges/permissions are retrieved.
Under some circumstances, it may be useful to monitor who/what is reading privilege/permission/role information. Therefore, it must be possible to configure auditing to do this. DBMSs typically mak...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000092
Group -
The DBMS must initiate session auditing upon startup.
Session auditing is for use when a user's activities are under investigation. To be sure of capturing all activity during those periods when session auditing is in use, it needs to be in operation ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000095
Group -
SRG-APP-000096
Group -
The DBMS must produce audit records containing time stamps to establish when the events occurred.
Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without establishing when events occurred, it is impossible to establish, correlate, and investigate the events re...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000101
Group -
The DBMS must include additional, more detailed, organization-defined information in the audit records for audit events identified by type, location, or subject.
Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough infor...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000118
Group -
The audit information produced by the DBMS must be protected from unauthorized read access.
If audit data were to become compromised, then competent forensic analysis and discovery of the true source of potentially malicious system activity is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. In ...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000121
Group -
The DBMS must protect its audit features from unauthorized access.
Protecting audit data also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Depending upon the log format and application, system and application log tools may ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000122
Group -
The DBMS must protect its audit configuration from unauthorized modification.
Protecting audit data also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Therefore, protecting audit tools is necessary to prevent unauthorized operation on au...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000133
Group -
The DBMS must limit privileges to change software modules, to include stored procedures, functions and triggers, and links to software external to the DBMS.
If the system were to allow any user to make changes to software libraries, then those changes might be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing and approvals that are part of a robus...Rule Medium Severity -

Database objects (including but not limited to tables, indexes, storage, stored procedures, functions, triggers, links to software external to the DBMS, etc.) must be owned by database/DBMS principals authorized for ownership.
Within the database, object ownership implies full privileges to the owned object, including the privilege to assign access to the owned objects to other subjects. Database functions and procedures...Rule Medium Severity -
