A Risk-Based Approach to Auditing Relational Databases
Abstract
With the increased focus on risks and controls since the passing of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the U.S., security has been an increasingly hot topic among IT professionals. As a result, risk assessment has become an important measure for designing controls. Assessing the risks associated with relational database design could result in various controls being proactively implemented to help prevent security breaches. Some controls available to prevent security violations include: access and authorization controls, specifically discretionary and mandatory access control; encryption, including full database and partial database encryption; and monitoring controls.
