Description |
---|
SQL Server auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Audit record content that may be necessary to satisfy the requirement of this control includes: time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, file names involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked. SQL Server does have a means available to add organizationally defined additional, more detailed information in the audit event records. These events may be identified by type, location, or subject. An example of more detailed information the organization may require in audit records could be the name of the application where the request is coming from. Some organizations may determine that more detailed information is required for specific database event types. If this information is not available, it could negatively impact forensic investigations into user actions or other malicious events. |

Check to see that all required events are being audited. From the query prompt: SELECT DISTINCT traceid FROM ::FN_TRACE_GETINFO('0') All currently defined traces for the SQL server instance will be listed. If no traces are returned, this is a finding. Determine the trace being used for the auditing requirement. Replace # with a traceid being used for the auditing requirements. From the query prompt: SELECT DISTINCT(eventid) FROM ::FN_TRACE_GETEVENTINFO('#') The required eventids 14, 15, 18, 20, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 115, 116, 117, 118, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 152, 153, 170, 171, 172, 173, 175, 176, 177 and 178 should be listed. If any of the audit events or eventids required above are not listed, this is finding. |
