Evaluates whether SSL secure connections are enabled for both the source and destination databases of each synchronization task on a Data Transmission Service (DTS) instance. The evaluation result is Compliant if SSL is enabled for both databases.
Scenarios
SSL secure connections for DTS synchronization tasks help protect data security, integrity, and access control while meeting compliance requirements. Enabling SSL for both the source and destination databases is a recommended security practice.
Risk level
Default risk level: medium.
You can change the risk level based on your business requirements when you apply this rule.
Compliance evaluation logic
-
If SSL secure connections are used for both the source and destination databases of each synchronization task on a DTS instance, the evaluation result is Compliant.
-
If SSL secure connections are not used for the source or destination database of a synchronization task on a DTS instance, the evaluation result is Non-compliant.
-
If a task on a DTS instance is a non-synchronization task, the evaluation result is Not Applicable.
