Your data’s logical structure directly impacts accessibility and reporting. We review schemas, indexing strategies, constraints, and relationships to ensure data is logically organised and aligned with your business processes. This step helps identify inconsistencies that could hinder performance or lead to data mismanagement.
Server Set-up and Performance
A well-configured server is critical to database efficiency. Our audit includes a full performance review of your database server setup, covering memory usage, CPU load, disk I/O, and configuration settings. We identify bottlenecks and provide recommendations to enhance stability and speed.
Database Backup and Recoverability
Backup procedures are only effective if they support reliable recovery. We analyse your current backup strategies, retention policies, and test recovery protocols to ensure your data is protected in the event of failure or breach. Our audit focuses on reducing downtime and strengthening business continuity.
Database Management Facilitation
Efficient management practices reduce risk and resource strain. We evaluate how your database is currently maintained, looking at patch management, job scheduling, and monitoring systems. This helps ensure your team or managed provider can oversee operations with confidence and control.
Database Security
Security is non-negotiable in today’s data-driven environment. Our database audit assesses user access controls, authentication mechanisms, encryption policies, and logging to identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with data protection regulations like POPIA and GDPR.
Segment Status and Condition Style
Over time, poor segment management can degrade performance. We assess segment usage, fragmentation, and storage trends to detect inefficiencies that affect your database’s responsiveness and capacity planning. Proactive tuning recommendations are provided to maintain system health.
HA and DR Implementations
High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) are vital for operational resilience. We examine how your environment handles failover, redundancy, and data replication. Our audit verifies that your HA and DR strategies are tested, current, and aligned with your recovery objectives (RTO/RPO).
