SQL6-D0-015500 - SQL Server must generate audit records for all direct access to the database(s) - audits.
Information
In this context, direct access is any query, command, or call to SQL Server that comes from any source other than the application(s) that it supports. Examples would be the command line or a database management utility program. The intent is to capture all activity from administrative and non-standard sources.NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
Check the system documentation for required SQL Server Audits. Remove any Audit filters that exclude or reduce required auditing. Update filters to ensure administrative activity is not excluded.See Also
