Audit in 60 days — sound familiar?

  • Caching_sha2 auth migration stalled — Apps still on mysql_native_password break against MySQL 8.0+; the migration is risky and nobody's mapped which app services need credential rotation.
  • Audit logging not enabled — MySQL Enterprise Audit or MariaDB Audit Plugin not configured; you can't prove who accessed which schema during the last incident.
  • Privilege bloat — Service accounts with ALL PRIVILEGES granted "temporarily" 3 years ago; nobody's done a least-privilege audit and the SOC 2 reviewer is asking.

Fixed-scope, 2-week delivery

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

In short: A MySQL security audit reviews 12 control areas — TDE encryption-at-rest, TLS enforcement, caching_sha2_password authentication, the MySQL/MariaDB Audit Plugin, Enterprise Firewall, least-privilege role and GRANT cleanup, binlog encryption, and public-exposure review — then delivers a written report with severity-ranked findings, remediation roadmap, and PCI-DSS / HIPAA / SOC 2 control mapping.

Production MySQL security audit covering TDE, mysql_native_password → caching_sha2_password upgrade, MySQL Audit Plugin, MySQL Enterprise Firewall. 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 MySQL-specific controls. Findings are severity-ranked (Critical / High / Medium / Low) with remediation effort estimates and compliance-framework mapping.

TDE (Transparent Data Encryption) for InnoDB tablespaces
TLS 1.3 enforcement on client + replication connections
MySQL Enterprise Firewall + query allowlisting
caching_sha2_password authentication upgrade
MySQL Audit Plugin (Enterprise) / MariaDB Audit Plugin (OSS)
Least-privilege role review + GRANT cleanup
binlog encryption + redo log encryption
Account password policy + lock_after_failed_login
AppArmor / SELinux + chroot deployment audit
Backup encryption (mysqldump + xtrabackup --encrypt)
MySQL Workbench / Studio user access trail
Public-IP exposure + bind-address review

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.
