Audit in 60 days — sound familiar?

  • ed25519 auth plugin not enabled — Still on mysql_native_password; ed25519 (MariaDB's recommended modern auth) requires driver coordination that hasn't happened, and password storage is weaker than required by policy.
  • MariaDB Audit Plugin missing or partial — Audit plugin compiled but not configured for server_audit_events=CONNECT,QUERY,TABLE; you have no record of who read what.
  • Galera Cluster across public network — wsrep_provider_options without socket.ssl=yes; Galera replication traffic crossing cloud network unencrypted. PCI-DSS auditor flagged.

Fixed-scope, 2-week delivery

MariaDB Security Audit — CIS Benchmark, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2

In short: A MariaDB security audit reviews 12 control areas — ed25519 authentication, the MariaDB Audit Plugin, encryption-at-rest, Galera and MaxScale TLS, role-based access, binlog encryption, and CIS Benchmark hardening — then delivers a written report with severity-ranked findings, remediation roadmap, and PCI-DSS / HIPAA / SOC 2 control mapping.

Production MariaDB security audit covering MariaDB Audit Plugin, encryption-at-rest, Galera certification, ed25519 authentication. Written report with severity-ranked findings, compliance-framework control mapping, and a 12-month remediation roadmap. Designed for teams preparing for PCI-DSS v4.0, HIPAA, or SOC 2 Type II audit windows.

What We Audit

12 control areas, fully assessed

Every audit covers these MariaDB-specific controls. Findings are severity-ranked (Critical / High / Medium / Low) with remediation effort estimates and compliance-framework mapping.

MariaDB Audit Plugin (server_audit_events all-categories)
ed25519 authentication plugin
Encryption-at-rest (innodb_encrypt_tables)
TLS 1.3 on Galera Cluster replication (socket.ssl=yes)
MaxScale TLS enforcement + module authentication
Role-based access + ROLE GRANT cleanup
Password validation plugin + lock_after_failed_login
binlog + relay-log encryption
MariaDB Server hardening per CIS Benchmark
Backup encryption (mariadb-backup --encrypt-key)
Galera SST encryption (mariabackup with TLS)
Bind-address + public exposure audit

Compliance Mapping

Every finding mapped to a framework

The audit report includes a control-mapping matrix so your compliance team can hand it directly to an auditor without re-translating the findings.
