Database Penetration Testing
Databases hold your most valuable data, yet they are often reachable by more users and systems than anyone realises. We test access paths, privileges and configuration to make sure only the right people get in.

- Authentication and default or weak credentials
- Excessive privileges and role design
- Network exposure and listener configuration
- Encryption at rest and in transit
- Auditing and logging configuration
- Hardening against CIS Benchmarks
Deliverables
What you receive
- Database-specific findings and hardening steps
- Privilege review summary
- Audit evidence for PCI DSS and ISO 27001
- Re-review after remediation
How we work
Discover. Assess. Remediate. Validate.
Discover
Agree scope, assets, test windows and rules of engagement. Every project gets a unique audit code for tracking.
Assess
Manual-first testing aligned to recognised standards, with critical issues flagged to you immediately.
Remediate
Findings ranked by business impact, with clear fix guidance and a walkthrough with your engineers.
Validate
We retest your fixes, update the report and issue a closure letter you can share.
FAQ
Common questions
Which databases do you cover?
Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, including managed cloud versions.
Do you access production data?
We test configuration and access controls. Where data access is unavoidable, we agree handling rules in advance and never retain it.
Can you test databases in the cloud?
Yes. We test managed services such as Amazon RDS, Azure SQL and Cloud SQL, alongside self-hosted databases.
Will testing affect database performance?
We schedule tests to avoid peak hours and use non-disruptive techniques. Any heavier checks are agreed in advance.
Does this help with PCI DSS?
Yes. Database access control, encryption and logging are central PCI DSS requirements, and our report provides supporting evidence.
