CMS’ ISPG (Information Security and Privacy Group) decided to discontinue funding the customization of MITRE’s Security Automation Framework (SAF) for CMS after September 2023. This repo is now in archive mode, but still accessible. For more information about SAF with current links, see https://security.cms.gov/learn/security-automation-framework-saf
InSpec profile overlay to validate the secure configuration of Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Database against DISA's Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Database STIG Version 1 Release 6 tailored for CMS ARS 3.1 for CMS systems categorized as High.
It is intended and recommended that InSpec and this profile overlay be run from a "runner" host (such as a DevOps orchestration server, an administrative management system, or a developer's workstation/laptop) against the target remotely over winrm.
For the best security of the runner, always install on the runner the latest version of InSpec and supporting Ruby language components.
Latest versions and installation options are available at the InSpec site.
The following inputs must be configured in an inputs ".yml" file for the profile to run correctly for your specific environment. More information about InSpec inputs can be found in the InSpec Profile Documentation.

# How to run
inspec exec https://github.com/CMSgov/cms-ars-3.1-high-microsoft-sql-server-2014-database-stig-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz --input-file=<path_to_your_inputs_file/name_of_your_inputs_file.yml> --target=winrm://<your_target_host_name_or_ip_address> --user=<target_account_with_administrative_privileges> --password=<password_for_target_account>--reporter=cli json:<path_to_your_output_file/name_of_your_output_file.json>
If your runner is not always expected to have direct access to GitHub, use the following steps to create an archive bundle of this overlay and all of its dependent tests:
(Git is required to clone the InSpec profile using the instructions below. Git can be downloaded from the Git site.)
When the "runner" host uses this profile overlay for the first time, follow these steps:
mkdir profiles
cd profiles
git clone https://github.com/CMSgov/cms-ars-3.1-high-microsoft-sql-server-2014-database-stig-overlay.git
inspec archive cms-ars-3.1-high-microsoft-sql-server-2014-database-stig-overlay
inspec exec <name of generated archive> --input-file=<path_to_your_inputs_file/name_of_your_inputs_file.yml> --target=winrm://<your_target_host_name_or_ip_address> --user=<target_account_with_administrative_privileges> --password=<password_for_target_account>--reporter=cli json:<path_to_your_output_file/name_of_your_output_file.json>
For every successive run, follow these steps to always have the latest version of this overlay and dependent profiles:
cd cms-ars-3.1-high-microsoft-sql-server-2014-database-stig-overlay
git pull
cd ..
inspec archive cms-ars-3.1-high-microsoft-sql-server-2014-database-stig-overlay --overwrite
inspec exec <name of generated archive> --input-file=<path_to_your_inputs_file/name_of_your_inputs_file.yml> --target=winrm://<your_target_host_name_or_ip_address> --user=<target_account_with_administrative_privileges> --password=<password_for_target_account>--reporter=cli json:<path_to_your_output_file/name_of_your_output_file.json>
The JSON results output file can be loaded into heimdall-lite for a user-interactive, graphical view of the InSpec results.
The JSON InSpec results file may also be loaded into a full heimdall server, allowing for additional functionality such as to store and compare multiple profile runs.
