SECURITY POLICIES
The use of the product Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Database Engine Enterprise Edition x64 (English),
version 15.0.4033.1 shall implement a set of security policies assuring the fulfilment of different
standards and security demands.
The detail of these policies is documented in the Security Target, section 3.4 (“Organizational
Security Policies”).
ASSUMPTIONS AND OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
The following assumptions are constraints to the conditions used to assure the security properties
and functionalities compiled by the security target. These assumptions have been applied during
the evaluation in order to determine if the identified vulnerabilities can be exploited.
In order to assure the secure use of the TOE, it is necessary to start from these assumptions for its
operational environment. If this is not possible and any of them could not be assumed, it would not
be possible to assure the secure operation of the TOE.
The detail of these assumptions is documented in the Security Target, section 3.2 (“Assumptions”).
CLARIFICATIONS ON NON-COVERED THREATS
The following threats do not suppose a risk for the product Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Database
Engine Enterprise Edition x64 (English), version 15.0.4033.1, although the agents implementing
attacks have the attack potential according to the Basic attack potential of EAL2 + ALC_FLR.2 and
always fulfilling the usage assumptions and the proper security policies satisfaction.
7/16
https://oc.ccn.cni.es
organismo.certificacion@cni.es
For any other threat not included in this list, the evaluation results of the product security
properties and the associated certificate, do not guarantee any resistance.
The threats covered by the security properties of the TOE are those defined in the Database
Management Systems Protection Profile and they are documented in the Security Target, section
3.3 (“Threats”).
OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FUNCTIONALITY
The product requires the cooperation from its operational environment to fulfil some of the
objectives of the defined security problem.
The security objectives declared for the TOE operational environment are those defined in the
Protection Profile and they are documented in the Security Target, section 4.2 (“Security Objectives
for the operational Environment”).
ARCHITECTURE
LOGICAL ARCHITECTURE
SQL Server 2019 is able to run multiple instances of the database engine on one machine. After
installation one default instance exists. However, the administrator is able to add more instances of
SQL Server 2019 to the same machine.
If more than one instance of SQL Server 2019 is installed on one machine these just represent
multiple TOEs as there is no other interface between two instances of the TOE than the standard
client interface.
So, the TOE comprises one instance of SQL Server 2019.
The TOE provides the following set of security functionality:
 The Access Control function of the TOE controls the access of users to user and metadata
stored in the TOE. It further controls that only authorized administrators are able to manage
the TOE.
 The Security Audit function of the TOE produces log files about all security relevant events.
 The Security Management function allows authorized administrators to manage the
behaviour of the security functionality of the TOE.
 The Identification and Authentication function of the TOE is able to identify and
authenticate users.
 The Session Handling mechanism, which limits the possibilities of users to establish sessions
with the TOE and maintains a separate execution context for every operation. Also the
Memory Management functionality belongs to the area of Session Handling and ensures
8/16
https://oc.ccn.cni.es
organismo.certificacion@cni.es
that any previous information in memory is made unavailable before the memory is used
either by overwriting the memory explicitly with a certain pattern or by overwriting the
memory completely with new information.
Access to the complete functionality of the TOE is possible via a set of SQL-commands.
This set of commands is available via:
 Shared Memory
 Named Pipes
 TCP/IP
PHYSICAL ARCHITECTURE
The TOE is the database engine of the SQL Server 2019 and its related guidance documentation.
This engine is only available for x64 platforms. The comprises one instance of the SQL Server 2019
database engine but has the possibility to serve several clients simultaneously
Further, SQL Server 2019 is available in different editions. Only the Enterprise Edition (EE) is subject
to this evaluation.
The Figure 1 shows the TOE (including its internal structure) and its immediate environment.
Figure 1
9/16
https://oc.ccn.cni.es
organismo.certificacion@cni.es
As seen in Figure 1 the TOE internally comprises the following units:
 The Communication part is the interface for programs accessing the TOE. It is the interface
between the TOE and clients performing requests. All responses to user application requests
return to the client through this part of the TOE.
 The Relational Engine is the core of the database engine and is responsible for all security
relevant decisions. The relational engine establishes a user context, syntactically checks
every Transact SQL (T-SQL) statement, compiles every statement, checks permissions to
determine if the statement can be executed by the user associated with the request,
optimizes the query request, builds and caches a query plan, and executes the statement.
The Relational Engine allows compiling a subset of T-SQL statements into native code to
create natively compiled Stored Procedures. The Visual C compiler used for this native
compilation is not part of the TOE.
 The Storage Engine is a resource provider. When the relational engine attempts to execute
a T-SQL statement that accesses an object for the first time, it calls upon the storage engine
to retrieve the object, put it into memory and return a pointer to the execution engine. To
perform these tasks, the storage engine manages the physical resources for the TOE by
using the Windows OS.
 The SQL-OS is a resource provider for all situations where the TOE uses functionality of the
operating system. SQL-OS provides an abstraction layer over common OS functions and was
designed to reduce the number of context switches within the TOE. SQL-OS especially
contains functionality for Task Management and for Memory Management.
 For Task Management the TOE provides an OS-like environment for threads, including
scheduling, and synchronization - all running in user mode, all (except for I/O) without
calling the Windows Operating System.
 The Memory Management is responsible for the TOE memory pool. The memory pool is
used to supply the TOE with its memory while it is executing. Almost all data structures that
use memory in the TOE are allocated in the memory pool. The memory pool also provides
resources for transaction logging and data buffers.
The TOE is downloadable as a DVD image (.iso file) via the Microsoft volume licensing service
center.

PRODUCT TESTING
The developer has executed tests for all the security functions, TSFi and subsystems. All the tests
have been performed by the developer in its premises, with a satisfactory result.
During the evaluation process it has been verified each test case checking that the security
functionality that covers is been identified and also that the kind of test is appropriate to the
function that is intended to test.
All the tests have been developed using the testing scenario appropriate to the established
architecture in the security target. It has also been checked that the obtained results during the
tests fit or correspond to the previously estimated results.
To verify the results of the developer tests, the evaluator has repeated all the developer functional
tests in the developer premises. In addition, the lab has devised a test for each of the security

organismo.certificacion@cni.es
function of the product verifying that the obtained results are consistent with the results obtained
by the developer.
It has been checked that the obtained results conform to the expected results.
PENETRATION TESTING
Based on the list of potential vulnerabilities applicable to the TOE in its operational environment,
the evaluation team has devised attack scenarios for penetration tests. Within these activities, all
aspects of the security architecture, which were not covered by functional testing, have been
considered.
The overall test result is that no deviations were found between the expected and the actual test
results. No attack scenario with the attack potential Basic has been successful in the TOE’s
operational environment as defined in the security target when all security measures required by
the developer in the security guidance defined in DOCUMENTS section are applied.

RECOGNITION AGREEMENTS
In order to avoid multiple certification of the same product in different countries a mutual
recognition of IT security certificates - as far as such certificates are based on ITSEC or CC - under
certain conditions was agreed.
European Recognition of ITSEC/CC – Certificates (SOGIS-MRA)
The SOGIS-Mutual Recognition Agreement (SOGIS-MRA) Version 3 became effective in April 2010. It
defines the recognition of certificates for IT-Products at a basic recognition level and, in addition, at
higher recognition levels for IT-Products related to certain SOGIS Technical Domains only.
The basic recognition level includes Common Criteria (CC) Evaluation Assurance Levels EAL 1 to EAL
4 and ITSEC Evaluation Assurance Levels E1 to E3 (basic). For "Smartcards and similar devices" a
SOGIS Technical Domain is in place. For "HW Devices with Security Boxes" a SOGIS Technical
Domains is in place, too. In addition, certificates issued for Protection Profiles based on Common
Criteria are part of the recognition agreement.
The new agreement has been signed by the national bodies of Austria, Finland, France, Germany,
Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The current list of
signatory nations and approved certification schemes, details on recognition, and the history of the
agreement can be seen on the website at https://www.sogis.org.
The SOGIS-MRA logo printed on the certificate indicates that it is recognised under the terms of this
agreement by the nations listed above.
The certificate of this TOE is recognized under SOGIS-MRA for all assurance components selected.
International Recognition of CC – Certificates (CCRA)
The international arrangement on the mutual recognition of certificates based on the CC (Common
Criteria Recognition Arrangement, CCRA-2014) has been ratified on 08 September 2014. It covers
CC certificates based on collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP) (exact use), CC certificates based on
assurance components up to and including EAL 2 or the assurance family Flaw Remediation
(ALC_FLR) and CC certificates for Protection Profiles and for collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP).
The CCRA-2014 replaces the old CCRA signed in May 2000 (CCRA-2000). Certificates based on CCRA-
2000, issued before 08 September 2014 are still under recognition according to the rules of CCRA-
2000. For on 08 September 2014 ongoing certification procedures and for Assurance Continuity
(maintenance and re-certification)of old certificates a transition period on the recognition of
certificates according to the rules of CCRA-2000 (i.e. assurance components up to and including EAL
4 or the assurance family Flaw Remediation (ALC_FLR)) is defined until 08 September 2017.
16/16
https://oc.ccn.cni.es
