A · Assessment

Database security review

A security review of your databases against CIS and vendor guidance: authentication, privileges, encryption, auditing, patching and network exposure.

Why it matters

Databases hold the data attackers want, and are often the least-reviewed system: default sysadmin passwords, excessive privileges, no encryption, dangerous features left on. A review finds these before they become the breach.

How we do it

We review database configuration and access against the relevant CIS Benchmarks and vendor guidance: authentication and privileged accounts, role and object permissions, encryption at rest and in transit, auditing, patch state, dangerous features and network reachability. Each finding cites the benchmark and a specific fix.

Team credentials: OSCP · CISSP · CISA · CEH · ISO 27001 Lead Auditor.

What you get

  • Executive summary for leadership, technical detail for DBAs and engineers
  • Every finding rated by exposure, with the benchmark it maps to
  • Attack chains showing how a weak credential reaches the data or the host
  • A prioritised remediation roadmap with target dates
  • A retest to confirm the findings are closed
  • An attestation letter for your customers and auditors

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which databases can you review?
The major relational and NoSQL platforms, against the relevant CIS Benchmark and vendor hardening guidance for each.
Is this a penetration test of the database?
It is a configuration and access review; where in scope we also confirm exploitability of issues like default credentials or dangerous features, safely.
Do you retest after we fix the findings?
Yes. A retest is included, so you have confirmation the issues are actually closed.
