Database Security Hardening -- 2
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I’m looking for a seasoned database-security specialist to carry out a complete vulnerability review of my live environment, then harden it against current attack vectors.
Scope
• Perform a thorough security assessment, including misconfiguration checks, privilege audits, and penetration tests that stay within legal boundaries.
• Deliver a detailed written report highlighting each vulnerability, its risk rating, and clear remediation steps.
• Implement the agreed fixes, apply critical patches, tighten user privileges, and configure robust backup & recovery procedures.
• Provide a concise runbook so future admins understand the new security posture.
What to include in your bid
Show me past work that demonstrates you have secured production databases before—case studies, before-and-after metrics, or client testimonials are ideal.
Tools & expectations
I’m flexible on the specific DBMS; what matters is a strong track record with common platforms such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle and proficiency with industry-standard tools (e.g., SQLMap, Nmap, Wireshark, Vault).
Timeline
Please outline how quickly you can complete the assessment and initial remediation.
I’ll review submissions on a rolling basis and reach out for a short chat to finalise scope and access logistics.
