SRG-APP-000089-DB-000064
Group -
SQL Server must be configured to generate audit records 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 ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000090-DB-000065
Group -
SQL Server 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-DB-000325
Group -
SQL Server must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to retrieve privileges/permissions occur.
Under some circumstances, it may be useful to monitor who/what is reading privilege/permission/role information. Therefore, monitoring must be possible. DBMSs typically make such information availa...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000092-DB-000208
Group -
SQL Server 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-000101-DB-000044
Group -
SQL Server 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-000109-DB-000049
Group -
SQL Server must by default shut down upon audit failure, to include the unavailability of space for more audit log records; or must be configurable to shut down upon audit failure.
It is critical that when SQL Server is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it takes action to mitigate the failure. Audit processing failures include: software/hardware errors; fa...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000109-DB-000321
Group -
SQL Server must be configurable to overwrite audit log records, oldest first (First-In-First-Out - FIFO), in the event of unavailability of space for more audit log records.
It is critical that when SQL Server is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it take action to mitigate the failure. Audit processing failures include; software/hardware errors; fai...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000118-DB-000059
Group -
The audit information produced by SQL Server must be protected from unauthorized access, modification, and deletion.
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-000122-DB-000203
Group -
SQL Server must protect its audit configuration from authorized and unauthorized access and 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 -

Node 2
The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
