Notice to the Secretary of HHS

Breach of Unsecured Protected Health Information

Brief Description of the Breach: Please see point F below "It should also have a sysadmin login in each monitored SQL Server instance." info@madeiradata.com I www.madeiradata.com I +972-9-7400101 


1. General We use SolarWinds SQL Sentry as the main tool to collect performance data from your servers. We chose SentryOne because we believe this is the most comprehensive and advanced tool for monitoring SQL Server. At the same time, this tool is also very lightweight, so it has a low impact on your servers. 


2. What We Need from You To set up the collection tools successfully, we would like to ask you to prepare a few things in advance, a. We recommend installing SQL Sentry on a separate machine, which will serve as the monitoring server, b. If you prefer not to use a separate machine, then we can also install it on one of the production servers (one of the SQL Server instances we are about to review). This is less recommended, simply because we prefer to make https://ocrportal.hhs.gov/ocr/breach/wizard_breach.jsf?faces-redirect=true 2/410/19/23, 9:43 AM File a Breach: Summary Tab

changes to your production servers as little as possible, and reduce "observer effect". c. Here are the minimum requirements for the monitoring server: • CPU - 8 cores • RAM - 8GB • Free Disk Space - 50GB • Windows Server 2012 / Windows 10 or higher • SQL Server 2016 SP1 Standard Edition (Developer or Evaluation Editions are also fine, and it's free) d. If possible, create a dedicated domain account to be used by the SQL Sentry monitoring service, e. If your servers are not in a domain, then create a dedicated local account on the monitoring server and on each one of the monitored servers. All accounts should have the same username and password,  f. The account should have Windows admin privileges on the monitoring server and all monitored servers. It should also have a sysadmin login in each monitored SQL Server instance, g. Make sure that the monitoring server can access the monitored servers through the network and connect to the monitored SQL Server instances, h. Make sure that the monitoring server can access the internet to download the SQL Sentry trial version. This internet access can be temporary, just for the installation, and it can be blocked as soon as the installation is completed successfully. Alternatively, we can download the installation media to a separate server, which has access to the internet, and then copy the media to the monitoring server. 


3. Remote Connection (Optional) To allow us to do a better job, we ask you to grant us a remote connection to the monitoring server and the monitored servers. We require a VPN connection (according to your security policies) and an RDP connection to each one of the servers
