FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What SQL Server security services do you provide?

+

We provide Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) implementation, column-level encryption, certificate and key management, security auditing, access control review, data classification, authentication hardening, encrypted backups, and PCI-DSS compliance assessment and implementation.

Are you ISO 27001 certified?

+

Yes. DBA Services holds ISO 27001 certification - the international standard for information security management. It means our handling of your data, access, and SQL Server environments is governed by an independently audited information security management system, which matters for enterprise, financial services, and government clients with strict security requirements.

What is Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)?

+

TDE encrypts SQL Server database files at rest - meaning the physical data files, log files, and backups are encrypted. This protects against the threat of someone obtaining physical access to your storage media. TDE is transparent to applications and requires no application code changes.

Can you help with a security audit?

+

Yes. Our health checks include a high-level security analysis, and we offer detailed security audits as a consulting engagement. We review authentication modes, authorization settings, encryption configuration, error logs for breach indicators, and overall security posture against best practices.
