    Testing for SQL injection and some source code auditting should be done on the application. But don't forget to check the permissions on the tables and databases as d34dI0k1 noted.

    Big warning as this is one of the biggest issues with third party apps:
    DO NOT ALLOW THE APPLICATION TO USE THE (MS-SQL) SA ACCOUNT!

    There are basicly 3 different things you need to audit:
    1) The server/OS itself, needs to be hardened, basic rule: if you don't need/use something, disable or preferably remove it.
    2) The application, source code audit (SQL injection, fuzzing, buffer overflows etc.)
    3) The database, accounts/permissions on tables/databases (LPR; Least Privilege Required).
