Automated SQL Server Security Compliance Benchmark

The SQL Server Security Compliance Benchmark automatically evaluates SQL Server platform and security settings against established best practices for both on‑premises SQL Server installations and Azure SQL Managed Instances.

It includes more than 80 checks across platform configuration, surface area reduction, authentication, encryption, and auditing, and leverages the full capabilities of the XIA Configuration compliance benchmarking platform, including pass/fail scoring, reporting, export, and detailed findings.

As well as being viewed in the web interface, the SQL Server Security Compliance Benchmark generates clear, professional documentation in both PDF and Word formats. These documents are designed to be easy to read, visually consistent, and suitable for internal reviews, security teams, and external auditors. Documentation can also be branded with your organisation's logos and colour schemes.

Benchmark documentation is available in two formats:

Generate a standalone document focused solely on the benchmark results, ideal for audit submissions or targeted security reviews.

Include the benchmark findings directly within your full SQL Server documentation, combining configuration details, instance information, database information, and compliance results into a single comprehensive document.
