One finding.
Two conversations.
SQLTriage runs 500+ checks across your SQL Server and writes it up two ways — a DBA handoff with the fixes, and a board-ready governance view. One assessment, two audiences.
The diagnostic work has been free for years — sp_Blitz, Erik Darling, Ola Hallengren, dbatools. SQLTriage is the governance translation layer on top: compliance mappings, risk scoring, and a summary a board can act on.
The DBA and the board never read the same report.
A backup gap reads as "restore-test this" to a DBA and "we can't prove our data is recoverable" to an auditor. SQLTriage produces both reports from one scan.
The DBA voice
What it is, why it matters, and the T-SQL to fix it. Written for the person with their hands on the server.
The governance voice
What the finding means to the business: the compliance framework it maps to, and the risk level it carries. Written for the person who answers to the board.
A graded report, not a wall of red.
Every estate gets one governance score on a Bronze→Platinum scale, the top findings ranked by severity, each mapped to the framework it satisfies, and a remediation plan with effort against it. The kind of thing that walks into a board meeting and survives it.
The engine behind every assessment we run.
500+ checks
Backups, recoverability, security, access, patching, configuration, performance and licensing — well past the usual scripts.
10 compliance frameworks
Every finding cross-referenced to the controls it satisfies — CIS, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA and more.
Bronze → Platinum score
One governance number a board can act on, with a clear path from where you are to where you need to be.
Gated, reversible auto-fix
Config-level fixes apply through a gated, reversible, audited path — with your approval, never a surprise, with rollback if a check fails. We are expanding what is safe to auto-fix.
SQLTriage doesn't reinvent the diagnostics.
These are the diagnostic layer the SQL Server community has given away for years. SQLTriage stands on them and adds the governance translation — every source attributed, in the tool and in every report.
Brent Ozar's First Responder Kit
sp_Blitz and friends have surfaced findings like these for years, for free. SQLTriage imports sp_Blitz output directly.
Erik Darling's tools
Catch performance problems that would take hours to find by hand.
Ola Hallengren's maintenance
Running on more SQL Server estates than anyone can count.
dbatools
Made DBA automation reachable for people who would never have got there otherwise.
Free. All checks. No licence key.
Every check is unlocked. There's no paid tier and no upsell inside the tool. The framework is open source — inspect it, run it air-gapped, send a pull request. Check corrections come in as GitHub issues, with credit, and we fold the accepted ones into the curated set.
The tool is free. The hard problems are where we come in.
SQLTriage finds what's wrong and tells you what it costs. Most of it you can fix yourself with the report in hand. When the report surfaces something that needs a human in the room — a stalled migration, a licensing liability, a recovery that has to work first time — that's sqldba, the SQL Server practice behind the tool. Run the engine first. Bring us in if you need to.
