What is database audit software?

Database audit software gives compliance and security teams one searchable trail of every login, SQL Server query, Oracle statement and schema change across the databases they run. The Audit and Compliance Dashboard pairs database compliance software with continuous database activity monitoring and SIEM database integration, so SOX compliance database monitoring and GDPR audit tool database requirements are met continuously rather than reconstructed under deadline. Unlike native, per-database audit tools, it gives one dashboard, one retention policy and one export path to your SIEM.

The problem

Audit-readiness shouldn't depend on a scramble

Regulators expect proof, not assurances — and most organizations currently can't answer "what data did it touch, who authorized it, and can we prove it" with confidence, especially once AI is in the mix.

How the Audit & Compliance Dashboard solves it

Continuous logging, turned into audit-ready evidence automatically

Single, immutable audit trail
Every DML, DDL and DCL statement, login attempt and schema change captured with identity, timestamp and full query text.
Cross-database visibility
One dashboard aggregates activity across Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, Databricks and more.
One-click, audit-ready reports
Pre-built templates map to major regulations, generated on demand instead of assembled by hand.
SIEM-ready
Audit data streams to Splunk, Datadog, Elastic or Azure Monitor in formats your security tooling already understands.
Regulation Scope How it’s supported
GDPR Art. 15, 17, 30, 32 A searchable, detailed record of access and processing on personal data supports DSARs and Article 30 record-keeping — the GDPR audit tool database compliance teams need.
SOX Section 404 Continuous SOX compliance database monitoring of changes to financial data tables gives auditors direct evidence of internal controls.
HIPAA Security Rule §164.312 Every interaction with PHI-holding databases is timestamped and tamper-evident, with object-level access controls.
PCI DSS Req. 7, 8, 10 Access to the Cardholder Data Environment is monitored and restricted, with tracked, logged database activity monitoring.

From the founder

“CISOs don’t get penalized for having a breach nobody could have predicted — they get penalized for not being able to prove what happened afterward. That’s the gap we built the Audit and Compliance Dashboard to close”
– Manish Shah, Founder & CEO, Datasparc
FAQ

Common questions from compliance and security teams

What gets logged in the Audit Dashboard?
Every DML, DDL and DCL statement, plus login attempts and schema changes, captured with user identity, timestamp, source database and full query text.
Which regulations does the Compliance Dashboard map to?
Pre-built templates cover GDPR (Art. 15, 17, 30, 32), SOX Section 404, HIPAA Security Rule §164.312, and PCI DSS Req. 7, 8 and 10.
Can we export audit data to our SIEM?
Yes. Audit data streams to Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, Azure Monitor, or your own database in formats your existing tooling already understands.
Does this cover AI-originated queries too?
Yes — every agent connection, prompt and query issued through the Hawk AI MCP Server is audit-logged like any other DBHawk session.
Does this database activity monitoring tool support SQL Server and Oracle?
Yes, along with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, Databricks and 20+ other platforms.
