Why teams choose ReadSentinel

🛡️

Read-Only Enforcement

Every query is parsed and validated before execution. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE are blocked — even if the database user has write permissions.

📋

Full Audit Trail

Who queried what, when, and how long it took. Complete visibility for compliance teams. SOX, GDPR, HIPAA-ready.

🔐

Role-Based Access

Control who can see which connections. Support team sees customer DB, not billing. Engineering sees everything.

5-Minute Setup

Self-hosted. Docker or IIS. One admin creates connections, invites the team. No cloud dependency — your data stays in your network.

⏱️

Query Timeouts & Limits

Protect your production DB from long-running or resource-consuming queries. Configurable timeout and row limits per connection.

🔒

Encrypted Credentials

Connection strings encrypted at rest. Never returned via API. Team members query without ever seeing passwords.

Supported Databases

Oracle PostgreSQL MySQL MongoDB SQL Server

How ReadSentinel Works

1

Admin Adds Connections

Database connection strings are encrypted with AES-256 and stored securely. Team members never see credentials.

2

Users Write Queries

Team members open the desktop client, select a connection they have access to, and write SQL or MongoDB queries.

3

Queries Are Validated

Before execution, every query is parsed using ANTLR-based SQL parsers. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, EXEC, stored procedures — all blocked at the application layer.

4

Results Returned Safely

Only SELECT queries reach the database. Results are displayed with export options. Everything is logged in the audit trail.
