SOC 2 Compliance at the Database Layer

Modern Guide to Automated Compliance and Change Governance

Enterprise customers demand SOC 2 reports before signing contracts. You've locked down infrastructure and applications, but auditors keep finding exceptions at the database layer. Manual change tracking, missing approvals, and incomplete audit trails turn what should be routine audits into weeks of scrambling.

This guide reveals how leading organizations achieve clean audits with zero database-related exceptions while deploying 120x faster than manual processes allow.

What you'll learn:

• Why SOC 2 is now mandatory for enterprise sales: Clean reports accelerate deals and unlock premium pricing
• Seven critical control areas: Meet Trust Services Criteria across access controls, monitoring, change management, availability, and audit logging
