# execute ICT audits — Database Administrator

As a Database Administrator, 'executing ICT audits' isn’t about broad network security sweeps; it’s intensely focused on *database* systems. Daily, this means proactively verifying configurations against hardening guidelines (CIS Benchmarks are huge here), reviewing user access controls to ensure least privilege, and auditing database activity logs for anomalous behavior – think unusual logins, large data exports, or failed authentication attempts. Tools like SQL Server Audit, Oracle Audit Vault & Database Firewall, or even custom scripts querying system views become your primary audit instruments. It's about proving adherence to compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS) *through* the database layer.
