Audit in 60 days — sound familiar?
- ▸ pg_hba.conf still permits md5 / trust — Legacy auth modes that don't meet PCI-DSS or HIPAA controls; SCRAM-SHA-256 migration requires app library uplifts that haven't been scheduled.
- ▸ RLS not enabled on multi-tenant tables — Single-database multi-tenant SaaS without Row-Level Security; a tenant query bug or app exploit can read across tenants. Auditor flagged it.
- ▸ pgaudit silent — no audit trail — pg_audit extension not installed or only at LEVEL=write; access reads on PII tables aren't logged, can't answer the data-access questions in a breach incident.

PostgreSQL Security Audit — CIS Benchmark, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2
In short: A PostgreSQL security audit reviews 12 control areas — pgaudit logging, pgcrypto column encryption, Row-Level Security policies, SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication, pg_hba.conf and TLS hardening, role and privilege model, and extension review — then delivers a written report with severity-ranked findings, remediation roadmap, and PCI-DSS / HIPAA / SOC 2 control mapping.
Production PostgreSQL security audit covering pgaudit, pgcrypto, Row-Level Security, SCRAM-SHA-256, pg_hba.conf hardening. 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 PostgreSQL-specific controls. Findings are severity-ranked (Critical / High / Medium / Low) with remediation effort estimates and compliance-framework mapping.
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.
| Framework | Scope | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| PCI-DSS v4.0 | Cardholder data systems | Encryption-at-rest, TLS for transport, audit logging, access control, vulnerability management |
| HIPAA Security Rule | PHI databases | Access control, encryption, audit logs, integrity validation, transmission security |
| SOC 2 Type II | Customer data systems | Security, availability, confidentiality — continuous control testing over 6+ months |
| ISO 27001:2022 | Information security management | Annex A controls 5.x-8.x covering DB access, cryptography, supplier relationships |
| GDPR Article 32 | EU personal data | Pseudonymisation, encryption, confidentiality, integrity, availability, resilience |
| CIS Database Benchmark | Hardening reference | Engine-specific CIS benchmarks (Level 1 + Level 2) — operational baseline |
