To some extent what you can/should do to restrict direct
access depends on you application and deployment
requirements, and what type of direct access you are trying
to prevent. For instance, if you are sole administrator of
all machines that the app will be deployed on, you may be
able to restrict access by locking down the SA password and
dissallowing access to the DB files via the filesystem.
If, on the other hand, you are not the admin, it will be
pretty much impossible to completely block direct access
against a determined admin. The databases can always be
copied via the filesystem to another machine with a useable
SA account.
Even if you are not the admin of the machine, there are
some things you can do to avoid casual access outside of
the app itself. Here is an article that talks about
securing your connection string:

You can also use an application role for server-side
permissions. See:
