Checks whether SSL secure connections are used for both the source and destination databases of each synchronization task on a Data Transmission Service (DTS) instance. If so, the evaluation result is Compliant.
Scenarios
Using SSL secure connections for both the source and destination databases of each synchronization task on a DTS instance can improve data security, integrity, and access control, and meet compliance and user trust requirements. It is a recommended security measure.
Risk level
Default risk level: medium.
When you apply this rule, you can change the risk level based on your business requirements.
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.
