Zero Trust database access — without shared passwords
DBHawk puts a Zero Trust control plane in front of every database. Users authenticate through your SSO and never receive database credentials — access is brokered, least-privilege, and fully audited across on-prem and cloud.

The problem
Shared credentials and open SQL clients are the weakest link
Traditional desktop SQL tools hand developers direct database credentials and unrestricted access. There's no least-privilege, no masking of sensitive columns, and little usable audit trail — a standing risk for every regulated dataset you hold.
No shared passwords
Users sign in with SSO. DBHawk connects using credentials held in your vault — end users never see or store database passwords.
Least privilege by default
Grant access down to the schema, table, column, and row. Every user sees only the data their role permits — nothing more.
Every action audited
Each query, login, and result is logged with the real user identity — a complete, tamper-evident trail for compliance.
How it works
A Zero Trust control plane in front of every database
1
Authenticate via SSO
Users log in through Okta, Azure Entra ID, or Google — with MFA and no database credentials.
2
Broker the connection
DBHawk connects using credentials stored in CyberArk, HashiCorp, or a cloud vault — never exposed to the user.
3
Enforce access policy
Object- and column-level rules and dynamic masking apply to every query, in real time.
4
Log & monitor
Every action is recorded and streamed to Datadog, Splunk, or your own database for audit.
What you get
Enterprise-grade Zero Trust, built in
Passwordless, brokered access — SSO in, vaulted credentials out.
Fine-grained object access control down to columns and rows.
Dynamic data masking to shield PII and regulated fields.
Separation of duties and approval workflows.
Complete audit trail for SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX and PCI-DSS.
One web platform across 20+ databases, on-prem or cloud.
FAQ
Zero Trust database access — questions
How is DBHawk "passwordless" if it still connects to my database?
End users never handle database credentials. They authenticate to DBHawk through your identity provider (Okta, Azure Entra ID, Google) with MFA. DBHawk then opens the database connection using credentials held in your secrets vault (CyberArk, HashiCorp, or a cloud vault). Passwords stay in the vault; users only ever get a governed, policy-enforced session.
Does Zero Trust access work across different database platforms?
Yes. The same access-control, masking, and audit model applies uniformly across 20+ supported databases — Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, MongoDB, Db2, SAP HANA and more — whether they run on-premises or in the cloud.
What can be controlled at the object level?
Access can be granted or denied at the database, schema, table, view, column, and row level, and combined with dynamic masking so sensitive fields are redacted even for users who can see the rest of the record.
How does this help with compliance audits?
Every login, query, and result is logged against the real user identity and can be streamed to Datadog, Splunk, or stored in your own database. That complete trail, combined with least-privilege enforcement and separation of duties, directly supports SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and PCI-DSS requirements.
