Information

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 pertaining to change control, it should be noted that any changes to the hardware, software, and/or firmware components of the information system can potentially have significant effects on the overall security of the system.

Accordingly, SQL Server and Windows must allow only qualified and authorized individuals to obtain access to system components for the purposes of initiating changes, including upgrades and modifications.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
