c2 audit mode option

  • When is c2 audit mode considered appropriate?

  • The biggest advantage with c2 mode is that SQL Server will stop if for some reason(drive filling up) SQL server cannot write to the trace file. This is something which might be helpful if your application has a stringent requirement of auditing all the events.

  • C2 audit mode is based in the C2 definition in the US DOD 5200.28 standard.  This standard is now obsolete and has been replaced be a security evaluation system called 'Common Criteria'.  C2 audit mode does not fit cleanly into any of the CEM Evaluation Levels.

    It could therefore be difficult to build a business case to use C2 audit mode, as its foundations are no longer considered good practice by security practitioners.  If your organisation has determined that it needs to implement the Bell-La Padula security model used in the 5200.28 standard, then C2 may be appropriate for you.  Otherwise it has increasingle little relevance to today's businesses.
