Identity and access
Design login, role, service-account, and ownership models that avoid broad standing privileges.
← All practice areas
Protect data through layered controls
Security
Database security connects identity, permissions, application access, network boundaries, encryption, auditing, and operational review. The goal is to grant each person and service only what it needs while preserving a clear record of sensitive activity.
Core focus
What this practice covers
Data protection
Apply encryption, masking, row-level controls, secret management, and secure connection settings where the data requires them.
Audit and assurance
Capture important activity, review privileged access, test controls, and retain evidence for security and compliance reviews.
Typical work
What teams work on
- Login, user, role, and permission reviews
- Least-privilege service account design
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Sensitive-data discovery and masking strategy
- SQL audit, event collection, and alerting
- Security configuration and vulnerability assessment
Results
What good looks like
- Reduced privilege and credential exposure
- Clear separation of operational responsibilities
- Auditable access to sensitive data
- Security controls that remain practical for production teams
