Why SQL Compliance Manager

Compliance configuration in minutes, not days or weeks

SQL Compliance Manager significantly reduces the time and effort database administrators (DBAs) need to configure regulatory and audit compliance settings. It maximizes their productivity and lets them focus on their primary tasks.

Auditing SQL Server compliance is challenging because of:

Complex database environments Multiple users with different privileges Frequent, ongoing system changes Excessive event volume Scalability Security Cost control Complex, evolving compliance standards
