We’re excited to announce the release of SQL Compliance Manager 5.5
SQL Compliance Manager is a comprehensive database auditing solution that monitors and tracks changes to SQL Server objects and data, and sends alerts on suspicious activity. SQL Compliance Manager also generates audit reports to demonstrate compliance with regulatory and data security requirements such as SOX, PCI, HIPAA, CIS, NERC, DISA/STIG and FERPA.
What’s New in SQL Compliance Manager 5.5?
This is the first release of SQL Compliance Manager to support SQL Server 2017.
This release helps to improve the customer trial experience with more streamlined installation. Initial startup is further simplified with the addition of new regulatory guidelines available upon setup.
This release enhances our support of regulatory frameworks. We have added several new regulatory guidelines to our out of the box configuration. We also added the ability to import and export custom regulatory guidelines that are not yet part of the out of the box configuration. We will be providing a custom template for GDPR (as well as other important regulatory frameworks) via our community site.
