Database Audit · Coventry
Database Audit in Coventry
A database audit for Coventry organisations, covering the finding that makes everybody uncomfortable — the test environment is usually a copy of production, complete with real customer records, held somewhere with looser access and weaker monitoring. The performance work matters too, but that copy is the thing worth addressing first.
Why this comes up
The problem
The staging database is last month's production copy, and half the development team has full access to it.
What you get
What we deliver
- Non-production copies identified, with what real data each contains
- Direct access reviewed — who can query production and whether they still need to
- Schema examined for missing constraints that permit invalid data to accumulate
- Indexing and query performance assessed against how the application actually behaves
- Growth projected, so capacity decisions happen before a disk fills
- Backup and point-in-time recovery verified rather than taken on trust

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what database audit would actually involve — whether or not you use us.
Working in Coventry
West Midlands
Coventry's automotive and mobility research base means a lot of local firms sit in complex supply chains, where the useful software is usually the piece that connects systems nobody planned to connect.
Supply chain integration dominates — connecting order, quality and delivery data between manufacturers and the tiers above and below them.

Database Audit in Coventry — common questions
- Why are production copies such a problem?
- Because the data carries the same obligations in a test environment and almost none of the protection. Real names, addresses and payment references sit somewhere with looser access, weaker monitoring and frequently no backup — and a breach there is exactly as reportable.
- What should be done instead?
- Mask or generate the data. Realistic but synthetic records support development perfectly well, and where genuine data is unavoidable for a specific test it should be a deliberate, time-limited exception with the access recorded rather than the standing arrangement.
- Why look at constraints?
- Because the database is the last place bad data can be stopped. Where the application is the only thing enforcing rules, every import, script and integration can write records that should not exist — and by the time anybody notices there are thousands of them.
- Is performance part of this?
- Yes, and it is often the least expensive finding to act on. A handful of missing indexes commonly accounts for most of the load on a struggling database, and identifying them is considerably cheaper than the larger instance that was about to be purchased instead.
- Do you work with businesses across West Midlands?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Coventry and the surrounding West Midlands area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Coventry businesses do you usually work with?
- Supply chain integration dominates — connecting order, quality and delivery data between manufacturers and the tiers above and below them. Beyond that we work across Automotive, Advanced Manufacturing, Higher Education, Logistics and Gaming.
- Do you cover the areas around Coventry?
- Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham, Leicester, Northampton, Wolverhampton. Coventry is an urban area of roughly 370,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Midlands region rather than the city boundary alone.
