How is the database audit process performed?
The analysis is carried out by specialists with field experience and with the use of proprietary audit scripts prepared as part of numerous audits carried out for clients. In order to carry out the work, it is necessary to gain access to individual systems, as well as the consultation possibility, in order to define the business need in detail and discuss the IT environment configuration. At the same time, as part of the audit, we use our own Superb DBA system, thanks to which we can analyse the configuration of the systems and indicate the best practices for their configuration and security.

Step 1. Work plan preparation and identification of bottlenecks
- Collecting customer requirements and expectations
- Interview with users and system administrators.
- Obtaining and configuring access to all required system components.
- Familiarization with the system specification, processes operating on the basis and review of the available documentation. 2
- Identification of system bottlenecks on the basis of architecture analysis.
Step 2. Audited platform analysis
- Verification of resource configuration on the audited platform, including areas dedicated to database systems (landing zone).
- Virtual machine configuration verification
- Operating systems configuration verification
- Infrastructure configuration analysis
Step 3. Database environment analysis
- Gathering configuration information for individual database instances.
- Database object analysis.
- Recurring tasks verification.
- Analysis of traffic and operations performed on databases in order to identify system bottlenecks.
- Resource load control (CPU, RAM and I / O).
- Verification of system response times, and analysis of locks and deadlocks.
- Data collection (instance query trace, log analysis).
- Analysis of application behaviour and its communication with the database system.
- Collection of data regarding DR and HA.
- Permissions verification, including added access security.
- Gathering information regarding accounts and their permissions in instances.
- System configuration analysis in the data security context.
Step 4. Recommendations and optimization plan development
- Drawing up a list of observations on the analysed systems and indicating a list of recommended changes to improve system performance and data security.
- Estimating the potential effects of implementing changes from the performance point of view in the defined measure of success context.
- Development of recommendations in the context of DR and HA.
- Recommendations preparation regarding the systems scaling and a scenario for their further development.
- Risk analysis and implementation costs estimation.
Step 5. Final report preparation
- Creation of a report containing a list of identified problem sources and recommendations for changes.
