Database Security & Compliance Services

Enterprise-grade database security that protects sensitive data, reduces risk and supports regulatory compliance across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments.

Security & compliance overview

Data breaches and compliance failures can have severe financial and reputational impact. AVRIN helps organizations implement multi-layered database security - identity, network, encryption, auditing and recovery - and keep it that way as systems change.

We secure SQL Server, Azure SQL, Amazon RDS and Aurora, PostgreSQL and MySQL. Every engagement starts with an assessment against recognized baselines such as the CIS Benchmarks and Microsoft security best practices, followed by a prioritized remediation plan that balances risk, effort and application impact.

Security is also about recovery: encrypted, tested and immutable backups are the last line of defense against ransomware, and we treat them as part of every security design.
