You can use IDERA SQL Secure to audit and assess your SQL Server security in environments where Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) compliance is required.
For more information about FIPS compliance, see the corresponding Microsoft TechNet Web article (technet.microsoft.com) and Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #811833 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811833).
Verifying whether your environment requires FIPS compliance
Ask your Windows security administrator whether the FIPS system cryptography setting has been enabled in the Local Security Policy or a Group Policy that applies to the SQL Server computer.
