Guardium Deployment Scope

From S-TAP agent rollout to compliance report automation — Ogma handles every layer of a Guardium deployment.

Database Activity Monitoring

Every SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE is captured with full SQL text, user ID, client IP, and timestamp — even privileged DBA activity is audited without exception.

Sensitive Data Discovery

Guardium scans schema and data samples to classify columns containing PAN, Aadhaar, payment card data, PHI, and other sensitive categories under DPDPA and PCI-DSS.

Vulnerability Assessment

Built-in VA scans identify misconfigured database accounts, weak passwords, excessive privileges, and unpatched CVEs — with remediation guidance mapped to CIS Benchmarks.

Real-Time Policy Alerts

Define access policies by user, time, location, and query pattern. Guardium blocks or alerts immediately when a DBA runs an unusual bulk export or accesses tables outside their role.

Audit & Compliance Reports

Scheduled compliance reports for DPDPA, PCI-DSS, RBI, SEBI, and ISO 27001. Evidence packages are audit-ready with tamper-proof audit trail storage.

Cloud & Hybrid Coverage

Guardium Insights extends coverage to AWS RDS, Azure SQL, Google Cloud SQL, and Snowflake — unified policy and reporting across on-premises and multi-cloud databases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Guardium supports 19+ database platforms including Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DB2, Sybase, MongoDB, Cassandra, Teradata, and cloud databases (AWS RDS, Azure SQL, GCP Cloud SQL). S-TAP and external S-TAP agents handle both on-premises and cloud.

Guardium Data Protection is the traditional on-premises DAM platform. Guardium Insights is the modern SaaS version on IBM Cloud, offering data-risk analytics, federated compliance, and integration with IBM Security Verify. Ogma deploys both depending on your residency and compliance requirements.

Guardium discovers and classifies personal data across your databases, monitors access in real-time, alerts on policy violations, and generates audit trails required by DPDPA. Its sensitivity classification aligns with DPDPA’s definition of personal and sensitive personal data.

Yes. Guardium exports alerts and audit data to IBM QRadar, Splunk, ArcSight, and other SIEMs via syslog and REST API. In QRadar environments, the Guardium DSM provides native enriched event correlation.
