SQL Server checks, from a free Recon scan to a monthly review by a senior DBA.
AIDA’s checks read your SQL Server environment: performance, security, compliance and capacity. A senior DBA reviews the results. Choose where to start: a free Recon scan, the $495 Diagnostic, or a monthly review by a senior DBA.
We built five products, not one, because database management is not one-size-fits-all. Start free with AIDA Recon (13 automated checks). Graduate to AIDA Diagnostic when you need detail (99 checks, $495). Move to a monthly health review, from $795 per month ex GST for 1–2 instances, $1,295 per month ex GST for 3–5, 6+ by quote. Or explore AIDA Assure—our design-partner-stage product proving your SQL Server estate actually recovers under failure, built for compliance teams and auditors.
How to start with AIDA
Different problems, different entry points. Here’s how teams typically flow through the AIDA toolkit.
Find out what’s going on—in minutes, for free
You inherit a SQL Server. Or your DBA leaves. Or you just want to know whether your database infrastructure is healthy. Running diagnostics takes time, and hiring a consultant to assess the environment costs money. Recon gives you a fast, credible starting point.
- 13+ health checks across configuration, performance, security, operational readiness and availability
- A health score (0–100) that ranks your environment at a glance
- A branded PDF report you own—no subscription, no expiry
- Zero friction: read-only scan, no credentials stored, no ongoing telemetry
No credit card, no commitment. Results in minutes.
Comprehensive findings + scripts you can run immediately
Recon flagged issues, but you need to understand them properly before you fix them—or you have a specific concern and want a detailed, professional assessment. A consultant costs thousands. A quick tool run gives you noise, not insight.
- 99 automated checks across 7 categories—performance, configuration, security, availability, capacity, maintenance and application
- Findings tied to remediation scripts—for issues AIDA can fix automatically, you get the T-SQL ready to run
- Clear severity levels distinguishing “fix this week” from “critical”
- A lasting report you own—no expiry, no required re-runs, a benchmark for future comparisons
- Fixed $495 per instance—no surprise costs, no subscriptions

Prove your SQL Server estate recovers under failure
Your board has signed off on tolerance levels—maximum disruption time, maximum data loss—for critical operations. Since 1 July 2026, APRA’s Prudential Standard CPS 230 has required every APRA-regulated entity, with no remaining transitional exception for smaller institutions, to set those tolerance levels and run a systematic testing program proving it can meet them. Most financial institutions have no evidence trail yet. Recoverability evidence is the beginning of the cycle, not the end.
What AIDA Assure delivers
- Regular, scheduled restore verification—cadence agreed per engagement—real restores to an isolated instance, a full DBCC CHECKDB, and timing measured against your stated tolerances
- Tamper-evident evidence packs: a cryptographic hash-chain proves the pack was not altered after generation, independently recomputable by your auditor without our code
- Backup chain integrity: every backup validated, gaps flagged, sequence proven
- Recovery Time Actual and Recovery Point Actual measured against your stated tolerance levels
- A Time Bombs register: forward-looking recoverability risks—conditions that aren’t yet failures but have a computable trajectory toward one
- A recurring narrative mapped clause-by-clause to the relevant CPS 230 and CPS 234 obligations, tiered honestly as evidences / evidences-in-part / informs / not-evidenced
What Assure does not do
- Assess entity-wide CPS 230 compliance—governance, Board process and policy are outside Assure’s scope
- Replace your internal audit’s own assurance work
- Evaluate disaster-recovery plans for the application layer, network, or people side
CPS 230 is big. Assure proves you can recover technically; your entity proves you’ve got the governance to stay within it. Both are required—we do the technical proof.
AIDA Assure is not production-ready. This methodology has not yet been executed inside any client’s infrastructure—every pack in existence, including the specimen above, was produced entirely within SQL Insight Solutions’ own laboratory. We are validating the mechanism before general availability. Pricing is on request while we close out our design-partner pilot terms.
