Check Text
Check the server documentation to determine if collecting and keeping historical versions of a table is required.
If collecting and keeping historical versions of a table is NOT required, this is not a finding.
Find all of the temporal tables in the database using the following query:
SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(T.schema_id) AS schema_name, T.name AS table_name, T.temporal_type_desc, SCHEMA_NAME(H.schema_id) + '.' + H.name AS history_table
FROM sys.tables T
JOIN sys.tables H ON T.history_table_id = H.object_id
WHERE T.temporal_type != 0
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name
Using the system documentation, determine which tables are required to be temporal tables.
If any tables listed in the documentation are not in the list created by running the above statement, this is a finding.
Ensure a field exists documenting the login and/or user who last modified the record.
If this does not exist, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Alter sensitive tables to utilize system versioning.
Alter non-temporal table to define periods for system versioning .
ALTER TABLE InsurancePolicy
ADD PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME (SysStartTime, SysEndTime),
SysStartTime datetime2 GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW START HIDDEN NOT NULL DEFAULT GETUTCDATE(),
SysEndTime datetime2 GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW END HIDDEN NOT NULL DEFAULT CONVERT(DATETIME2, '9999-12-31 23:59:59.99999999');
ALTER TABLE InsurancePolicy SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON (HISTORY_TABLE=dbo.InsurancePolicyHistory));
