SQL Server 2019 for centralised data processes
Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard is suitable for enterprise databases, ERP systems, business applications and structured reporting environments. The platform enables the centralised storage, processing and analysis of relational data.
SQL Server Integration Services, Reporting Services and Analysis Services provide tools for data integration, reporting and analytical processes.
Security, access control & NIS 2-relevant processes
For business-critical databases, encryption, access control and traceable database activities play a central role. SQL Server 2019 Standard provides various security features within the database environment for this purpose.
Transparent Data Encryption
TDE supports the encryption of database files and protects stored data from unauthorised access to database files.
SQL Server Audit
Audit features enable the logging of selected database activities for analysis, monitoring and documentation purposes.
Access Control
Roles, permissions and authentication mechanisms support the controlled management of database access.
These features can form part of a technical security architecture. Whether a specific SQL Server environment meets the requirements of the NIS 2 Directive depends on the overall infrastructure, organisational measures and the individual risk assessment.
