Get-SqlSafe Community Edition: A Practical First Look at SQL Server Security

This article introduces Get-SqlSafe Community Edition, a free PowerShell-based assessment tool for Microsoft SQL Server (2016-2025). It checks 25 core security indicators like excessive permissions, weak auditing, and legacy authentication, generating a local HTML report. The tool is designed for DBAs, security teams, and consultants as a low-friction, non-invasive first look at SQL Server security posture. The article clarifies it is not a full audit or penetration test, but a starting point for deeper reviews. It also discusses how the tool complements existing community security scripts.
