Hardened against the benchmark,
with a fix list ranked for you.
A CIS-benchmark configuration review of your databases, engine by engine. We assess authentication, network exposure, privilege grants, and audit configuration — and deliver a fix list prioritized by risk, not an alphabetized dump of findings.
What you get, in writing
Every deliverable below is named in the statement of work. Nothing here is aspirational.
Configuration findings per engine
Each in-scope engine reviewed against its CIS benchmark: authentication settings, network exposure, privilege and role grants, and audit configuration.
Prioritized fix list
Findings ranked by exploitability and blast radius, so your DBAs fix what matters first instead of working alphabetically.
Remediation guidance
Concrete, engine-specific remediation steps for every finding — the actual parameter, grant, or setting to change.
Re-check of critical items
After your team remediates, we re-verify the critical findings and update the report — closure you can hand to the pen-tester or auditor.
A defined path, with a defined end
Scope
We agree the engines and instances in scope on a short call.
Review
Configurations are assessed against the CIS benchmark for each engine.
Deliver and re-check
You get the ranked fix list with remediation steps, and a re-verification of criticals after you fix them.
This is for you if
- A pen-test flagged database configuration and you need it closed credibly
- You inherited an estate and nobody knows what state the configs are in
- An audit is coming and you want the database layer tightened first
Not sure it fits? Ask anyway — if it isn't a fit, we'll say so on the scope call.
