Your Database Has Permissions. But Can You Prove They're Working?
Most developers focus on securing their databases. But here's a harder question: Can you actually prove your security policies are being enforced? A database connection working doesn't mean tenant isolation is working
Most developers focus on securing their databases.
But here's a harder question:
Can you actually prove your security policies are being enforced?
A database connection working doesn't mean tenant isolation is working.
An authentication system working doesn't mean every data access is authorized.
And having security policies doesn't automatically mean they're effective.
That's one of the problems Agata Proxima was built to address.
A PostgreSQL security platform designed to help developers:
- Enforce tenant-aware security policies.
- Verify access controls.
- Monitor database activity.
- Maintain auditable security records.
- Add protection without replacing PostgreSQL.
Powered by an open-source Rust proxy that developers can inspect themselves.

A question for backend engineers and security architects:
If your CTO asked you to prove that one tenant cannot access another tenant's data, what evidence would you show?
