*Security Benchmark:*
CIS Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Benchmark, V1.4.0

*Published Sites:*
CIS Checklist for MS SQL Server 2016, site version 15
(The site version is provided for air-gap customers).

*Details:*

●      Total Updated Fixlets:44

●      Total Fixlets in Site: 44

●      This checklist applies to AAG and Failover Clusters.

●       The code has been optimized to identify and bypass non-running
instances.

●       The Applicability Fixlet now includes additional validation,
ensuring that the Environment Setup Task log file exists, is not older than
90 days, and that results files are present. This ensures Fixlets are
reported as Not Applicable and that the Measured Value (MV) correctly
indicates that the Environment Setup Task has not been executed

●      Both analysis and remediation checks are included.

●      Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to
enable customization for compliance evaluation. Note that parameterization
and remediation actions require the creation of a custom site.

*Actions to take:*
