Use the following table to determine which IDERA security level template fits your current security needs and how your environment fits into the overall security maturation model.
| IDERA Level | Maturation Level | Security Level | Types of SQL Server Instances | Types of Business | Regulatory Model | Unique Security Checks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 - Basic Protection | Beginner | Baseline | Test, development, and low-risk production instances | Services internal groups by hosting data for third-party applications and does not require connections to external clients | MSBPA plus additional checks |
|
| 2 - Balanced Protection | Intermediate | Medium | Average production instances | Services internal and external groups that require external connectivity to hosted data | CIS and MSBPA plus additional checks |
|
| 3 - Strong Protection | Advanced | High | Mission-critical, sensitive, and high-risk production instances | Services internal and external groups by hosting data for Web-based, B2B, B2C, or external clients | CIS, MSBPA, and SRR, plus additional checks and auditing |
