Analyze SQL Server encryption posture across all layers — TDE, Always Encrypted, cell-level encryption, backup encryption, transport/TLS, certificate lifecycle, asymmetric and symmetric key management, DMK/SMK key hierarchy including sp_control_dbmasterkey_password and SSISDB, EKM/AKV, sensitivity-classification gaps, TLS hardening, AE enclave/driver, operational key lifecycle, SQL Ledger, Azure encryption, dynamic data masking patterns, and PCI-DSS/HIPAA/GDPR/FedRAMP/CMMC/NY-DFS compliance.…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# SQL Server Encryption Review Skill ## Purpose Audit the complete encryption posture of a SQL Server instance or database. Applies 112 checks (A1–A112) across 20 categories: - **A1–A8** — Transparent Data Encryption (TDE): scan state, algorithm strength, certificate lifecycle, cross-database cert sharing risks - **A9–A16** — Always Encrypted: encryption type selection, CEK algorithm, secure enclave availability, CMK store quality, sensitive-column coverage, key rotation - **A17–A21** — Cell-Level Encryption (CLE): deprecated algorithms, open-key scope leaks, password-only key protection, rotation age, strategy conflicts - **A22–A25** — Backup Encryption: unencrypted backups, certificate backup status, algorithm strength, certificate expiry - **A26–A30** — Transport / Connection Encryption: ForceEncryption enforcement, unencrypted active sessions, self-signed TLS certificates, TrustServerCertificate bypass, TLS cert expiry - **A31–A38** — Certificate Management: private key protection, Service Broker and AG endpoint certificates, certificate-based login permissions, signature hash algorithm, CA trust chain, backup strategy, duplicate subjects …

How to install
mdr add vanterx/mssql-performance-skills/sqlencryption-review@sha256:5896eb13d4c1160dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.374fdae, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
