PostgreSQL & MySQL CIS Hardening
Audit
Most production databases never get audited against the CIS benchmarks they were meant to ship with. We execute the full CIS PostgreSQL and MySQL benchmark deterministically, then layer AI-driven analysis on the rest of the configuration—authentication realms, replica trust, extension surface, and audit logging—to surface the gaps that scanners miss.

Did your team cover these critical blindspots?
The most commonly overlooked attack vectors in Database Security environments—validated through hundreds of enterprise engagements.
Stale pg_hba & user/host trust
"trust" entries that were temporary in 2021 are still in production. Service accounts authenticate from anywhere. Replica streaming uses cleartext. No one re-reviewed it after the schema team rotated.
Extension surface no one tracks
Postgres extensions and MySQL plugins quietly grant code-execution paths. plpython, file_fdw, dblink — each one is a privilege escalation if a role is misconfigured.
Audit logging that proves nothing
Logging is "on", but log_statement is empty, MySQL general_log is disabled, and audit retention is 7 days. When the incident happens, there is no evidence to investigate from.

Main Assessment Coverage
- Full CIS PostgreSQL Benchmark Execution
- Full CIS MySQL Benchmark Execution
- pg_hba.conf & MySQL user-host Trust Analysis
- Extension & Plugin Surface Mapping
- Replication & Backup Trust Review
- Audit Logging Coverage Assessment
- AI-Augmented Custom Misconfiguration Discovery
Flexible Network Execution
Read-only execution. We collect SHOW VARIABLES output, pg_settings, pg_hba.conf, plus a redacted role and grant snapshot. No data rows are read — only configuration and metadata.
Route assessment engines through your designated corporate IPs to simplify allowlisting, avoid WAF alarms, and maintain a clean audit trail satisfying internal security policies.
Transparent Licensing
One-time execution license. No subscriptions. No hidden fees.
