Backup Compliance Dashboard
Backup compliance is a critical component of database security and an important requirement for many security and regulatory frameworks. Regularly monitoring backup activities helps organizations maintain data protection standards, identify potential compliance gaps, and ensure backup operations follow established policies. KloudDB Shield provides comprehensive backup compliance monitoring by tracking popular PostgreSQL backup utilities, including pg_dump, pg_dumpall, pg_basebackup, and pgBackRest. This enables organizations to maintain visibility into backup activities and identify potential security and compliance violations.

GUC Drift Detector (Configuration Drift)
Why Configuration drift detection is important ? Configuration drift detection is important because a server can start secure and gradually become insecure through small configuration changes—often made for troubleshooting, performance, migrations, or temporary access For example, suppose your approved production baseline requires SSL and pgAudit to remain enabled at all times. During troubleshooting, someone temporarily disables pgAudit but forgets to re-enable it. PostgreSQL continues to run normally, and the applications remain healthy, so the change may go unnoticed. However, your security posture has silently changed, potentially leaving important database activity unaudited. Configuration drift detection is not limited to security. It is equally important for maintaining performance, reliability, compliance, and operational consistency
