Need Product Recommendation: Database Security

  • Hello All,

    Thank you for your service to SQL Server community and looking into my question. 

    I am currently working on implementing some security measures in my database environments.

    Here are the requirements.

    1. People with direct access to database can query the tables with sensitive data,  If someone selects data from a sensitive table, I would like to get notified.  SQL Server Audit can do this, but I would like to know if there is any product in the market that can do this. 

    2. If there is any change in permissions or roles to any database principal in the database, I would like to get notified.

    Thank you for your help.

    One I've used that can alert is Idera's Compliance Manager. They have a free trial period if you want to try it out:

  • how about using SQL alerts for notification

    USE [msdb]
    GO

    /****** Object: Alert [Database Role Membership Change]  Script Date: 1/24/2019 4:14:39 PM ******/
    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name=N'Database Role Membership Change',
            @message_id=0,
            @severity=0,
            @enabled=1,
            @delay_between_responses=0,
            @include_event_description_in=1,
            @notification_message=N'Role $(ESCAPE_NONE(WMI(RoleName))) was altered for Login $(ESCAPE_NONE(WMI(TargetUserName))) on database $(ESCAPE_NONE(WMI(DatabaseName))) on server $(ESCAPE_NONE(WMI(ComputerName))) by $(ESCAPE_NONE(WMI(LoginName)))',
            @category_name=N'[Uncategorized]',
            @wmi_namespace=N'\\.\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ServerEvents\MSSQLSERVER',
            @wmi_query=N'SELECT * FROM AUDIT_ADD_MEMBER_TO_DB_ROLE_EVENT',
            @job_id=N'00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'
