SRG-APP-000374-DB-000322
Group -
SQL Server must record time stamps in audit records and application data that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, formerly GMT).
If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by SQL Server must include date and time. T...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000380-DB-000360
Group -
SQL Server must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to the configuration of the instance.
Failure to provide logical access restrictions associated with changes to configuration may have significant effects on the overall security of the system. When dealing with access restrictions...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000381-DB-000361
Group -
SQL Server must produce audit records of its enforcement of access restrictions associated with changes to the configuration of SQL Server or database(s).
Without auditing the enforcement of access restrictions against changes to configuration, it would be difficult to identify attempted attacks and an audit trail would not be available for forensic ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000383-DB-000364
Group -
SQL Server must disable network functions, ports, protocols, and services deemed by the organization to be nonsecure, in accord with the Ports, Protocols, and Services Management (PPSM) guidance.
Use of nonsecure network functions, ports, protocols, and services exposes the system to avoidable threats.Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000431-DB-000388

SQL Server must maintain a separate execution domain for each executing process.
Database management systems can maintain separate execution domains for each executing process by assigning each process a separate address space. Each process has a distinct address space so t...Rule Medium Severity -

When updates are applied to SQL Server software, any software components that have been replaced or made unnecessary must be removed.
Previous versions of DBMS components that are not removed from the information system after updates have been installed may be exploited by adversaries. Some DBMSs' installation tools may remov...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000456-DB-000390
Group -
Security-relevant software updates to SQL Server must be installed within the time period directed by an authoritative source (e.g. IAVM, CTOs, DTMs, and STIGs).
Security flaws with software applications, including database management systems, are discovered daily. Vendors are constantly updating and patching their products to address newly discovered secur...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000492-DB-000332
Group -
SQL Server must be able to generate audit records when successful and unsuccessful attempts to access security objects occur.
Changes to the security configuration must be tracked. This requirement applies to situations where security data is retrieved or modified via data manipulation operations, as opposed to via spec...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000494-DB-000345
Group -
SQL Server must generate audit records when successful and unsuccessful attempts to access categorized information (e.g., classification levels/security levels) occur.
Changes in categorized information must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized access to protected data could go undetected. For detailed information on categorizing information, refer...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000495-DB-000327
Group -
SQL Server must generate audit records when successful and unsuccessful attempts to add privileges/permissions occur.
Changes in the permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized elevation or restriction of privileges could go undetected. Elevat...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000501-DB-000337
Group -
SQL Server must generate audit records when successful and unsuccessful attempts to delete security objects occur.
The removal of security objects from the database/DBMS would seriously degrade a system's information assurance posture. If such an action is attempted, it must be logged. To aid in diagnosis, i...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.
