SQL6-D0-013200 - SQL Server must generate audit records when successful and unsuccessful attempts to access categorized information (e.g., classification levels/security levels) occur.

Information

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 to FIPS Publication 199, Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems, and FIPS Publication 200, Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems.

To aid in diagnosis, it is necessary to keep track of failed attempts in addition to the successful ones.

Satisfies: SRG-APP-000494-DB-000344

Solution

Deploy an audit to audit when data classifications are both successfully and unsuccessfully retrieved. See the supplemental file 'SQL 2016 Audit.sql'.
