An external auditor typically charges anywhere between US $100 to US $150 per hour and for 20 hours a day, your audit cost of US $2000 to US $3000 for each audit. Since the audit is manually done or with not so comprehensive tools it is most likely that certain security issues or loopholes might be missed. Furthermore, your control over the audit is limited and complete customization cannot be achieved. A definite advantage of automated SQL Security audit tool like Secure SQL Auditor over manual audits is the ease of operation combined with fast and consistent audit cycles. In addition, preparation of comprehensive reports detailing threat descriptions, risk levels, and solutions always consume a great deal of time for manual audits.
