DBtune achieves SOC2 Type II, parameter importance and more

SOC 2 Type II compliance: We successfully completed our SOC 2 Type II audit with zero exceptions. Read more below.
Parameter importance: Spot which server parameters truly matter for your workload, with statistical correlation analysis that surfaces the settings having the greatest impact on your tuning results.
Expanded tuning report: Compare your recommended configurations against your baseline with expanded performance indicators, providing the transparency needed to validate every optimization.
Query analysis: Gain clear visibility into how each individual query in your Workload Fingerprint optimization target performs before, during, and after tuning—so you can precisely understand the impact of every change.

Now SOC 2 Type II compliant:

Zero exceptions

We’re excited to announce that DBtune has successfully completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, achieving a perfect report with zero exceptions. This milestone provides independent verification that our security, confidentiality, and privacy controls meet the highest industry standards over an extended observation period. For our enterprise partners, this isn’t just a badge; it’s a commitment to protecting your mission-critical infrastructure while DBtune optimizes your database performance.

By meeting these rigorous requirements, we’ve streamlined the path to partnership, allowing your security teams to bypass lengthy questionnaires and approve DBtune in days rather than months. Combined with our zero-knowledge architecture, which ensures your sensitive data is never ingested or used for training, this certification proves that enterprise-grade security is baked into everything we do.

Join us at upcoming events

Catch our founder and CEO, Luigi Nardi, at the Postgres User Group Netherlands in Amsterdam on April 9th. This session dives into "Workload Fingerprints: A data cleaning pipeline for effective AI performance tuning", a novel method for cleaning performance data to enable effective performance tuning in live production environments. Luigi will explore why traditional metrics like average query runtime often fall short and how granular "Fingerprints" help both DBAs and AI systems maximize efficiency. Join the local community for beer, bites, and deep-tech discussion.
