What We Assess

8 Areas We Examine

01
Slow Query Identification
Top queries by cumulative time, execution-plan review, and the handful of queries that quietly dominate your load.
02
Index Coverage
Missing indexes, unused indexes eating write performance, and redundant composite indexes.
03
User Privileges & Remote Access
Who can connect from where? Are SUPER/GRANT OPTION privileges scoped? Any open binds on 0.0.0.0?
04
Configuration Hardening
my.cnf, postgresql.conf, listener.ora — sensible defaults, no test settings left in production.
05
Encryption at Rest & in Transit
TDE status, SSL enforcement on client connections, and key management hygiene.
06
Audit Logging
Is audit logging on? What events are captured? Where are logs retained and for how long?
07
Replication Health
Replication lag, broken replica state, and failover readiness.
08
Backup Verification
Not just "do backups exist" — are they tested, offsite, and restore-tested in the last quarter?
Who This Assessment Is For

Any team running production databases — especially MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and MSSQL. Common triggers: slow application, upcoming audit, database server migration, or a recent incident.

Common Findings We Uncover
The same 5 queries consuming 80% of database time
Database bound to 0.0.0.0 with root accessible from any IP
Audit logging disabled — no forensic trail if compromised
Replication broken for weeks; nobody watching the lag
Backups present but never restore-tested
Compliance Frameworks Mapped

Common Questions

Do we need to give you database credentials?
For the full assessment, read-only credentials are ideal — we'll give you the exact privileges needed, nothing more. The free AI assessment is structural only, based on what you tell us about the environment.
Will this assessment impact production performance?
No. We only run read-only diagnostic queries and rely on already-collected statistics (PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA, pg_stat_statements, Oracle AWR). Nothing is written, nothing locks.
Can you help fix what you find?
Yes. We deliver a prioritised remediation plan and, on request, our engineers can implement the fixes for you — from adding indexes to rebuilding replication to hardening config.
