SharePoint uses MS SQL Server for two purposes:

  • Content database - used to store and manage SharePoint content
  • Configuration database   - used to store the global configuration settings for the associated SharePoint form.

 
The types of controls used to secure the SQL Server database include

  • Configure authentication protocol
  • Firewall
  • Control administrative accounts
  • Monitor usage

SQL Server provides a lot of security functionality, and this can be used with SharePoint.
