Security Assessment
In Security Assessment, Data Safe evaluates the security posture of the databases and provides recommendations to overcome any issues. It enables us to identify security vulnerabilities and verify that encryption, auditing, and access controls have been implemented. It categorizes the findings into different sections, as shown in Figure 7.18:
Figure 7.18 – Security Assessment
As you can see in Figure 7.18, the risks are categorized into different sections:

- Data Encryption
- Database Configuration
It also categorizes the risk level into five categories based on the severity involved:
