Architecture Overview

How ZC-Conduit Works

ZC-Conduit acts as a security-first proxy layer between your applications and databases. Every connection flows through intelligent authentication, security guardrails, and comprehensive audit logging.

Multi-Database Support

Connect to MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and more through a unified proxy layer. One configuration, all your databases.

Zero-Trust by Design

Every request is authenticated and authorized before reaching your database. No implicit trust, complete access control at every layer.

ZC-Conduit — Every Connection, Full Visibility

Audit & Compliance

Every Query Logged. Every Action Tracked.

ZC-Conduit provides enterprise-grade audit logging that captures every database interaction with full context. Meet compliance requirements while gaining complete visibility into your data access patterns.

100%Query Visibility

Complete Query History

Every database query is captured with full context — user identity, timestamp, query content, execution time, and affected resources. Never miss a single operation.

Compliance Ready

Meet SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR requirements with immutable audit records. Automatic secret redaction keeps sensitive data protected in logs.

Advanced Search & Filtering

Filter audit logs by user, database, operation type, time range, or custom criteria. Find exactly what you need for investigations or compliance audits.

Real-Time Streaming

Stream audit events in real-time to your SIEM, security dashboards, or alerting systems. Detect anomalies and respond to threats instantly.

Beyond Traditional Database Access

ZC-Conduit sits between your applications and databases as a security-first proxy — authenticating every request, enforcing guardrails, pooling connections intelligently, and logging everything for compliance.

Multi-Auth & Zero-Trust Access

Support credential passthrough, session tokens, API keys, and managed modes — every request is authenticated and validated before reaching your database. Zero-trust by design.

Security Guardrails & Rate Limiting

Enforce namespace filtering to block access to admin and config databases, require explicit field projection to prevent data over-fetching, and apply adaptive rate limiting per IP, credential, and global QPS.

2

Real-Time Telemetry & Audit Logging

Capture connection, query, pool, and security metrics in real time. Generate compliance-grade audit trails ready for SOC2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA — with configurable tracking modes and secret redaction.

ZC-Conduit Security Controls Overview

Enterprise-Ready Database Security

ZC-Conduit delivers smart connection pooling, deep query inspection, namespace protection, and compliance-grade audit logging — all managed from a single YAML configuration.

  • Per-credential connection pools with automatic lifecycle management. Configure pool sizes, connection timeouts, and idle timeouts per listener. Reduce database load, lower latency, and maintain efficient resource utilization across all your services.

  • Block access to admin, config, and sensitive databases with pattern-based namespace filtering. Inspect every query in real time, enforce explicit field projection to prevent accidental data over-fetching, and detect anomalous database operations before they reach your backend.

  • Generate SOC2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA-ready audit logs with configurable tracking modes — all operations, security events only, sampling, errors, or writes. Automatically redact secrets, maintain full operation history, and export structured logs for your SIEM or compliance platform.
