  • Azure SQL Database must prohibit user installation of logic modules (stored procedures, functions, triggers, views, etc.) without explicit privileged status.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Allowing regular users to install software, without explicit privileges, creates the risk that untested or potentially malici...

  • Azure SQL Database must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to the configuration of the Azure SQL Database server or database(s).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Failure to provide logical access restrictions associated with changes to configuration may have significant effects on the o...

  • Azure SQL Database must use NSA-approved cryptography to protect classified information in accordance with the data owners requirements.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The applicatio...

    Group
  • Azure SQL Database must implement cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized modification of organization-defined information at rest (to include, at a minimum, PII and classified information) on organization-defined information system components.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Azure SQL Databases handling data requiring "data at rest" protections must employ cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauth...

    Group
  • Azure SQL Database must map the PKI-authenticated identity to an associated user account.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. Once a PKI certificate has been validated, it must be m...

  • When invalid inputs are received, the Azure SQL Database must behave in a predictable and documented manner that reflects organizational and system objectives.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;A common vulnerability is unplanned behavior when invalid inputs are received. This requirement guards against adverse or uni...

    Group
  • The Azure SQL Database must be configured to generate audit records for DOD-defined auditable events within all DBMS/database components.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events r...

    Group
  • Azure SQL Database must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which auditable events are to be audited.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel ma...

    Group
  • The Azure SQL Database must be able to generate audit records when privileges/permissions are retrieved.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Under some circumstances, it may be useful to monitor who/what is reading privilege/permission/role information. Therefore, i...
