Data
Standing database access creates risk and audit gaps. P0 Security replaces shared credentials with scoped, time bound access that's automatically revoked when the work is done.
P0's approach
Least-privileged database access, on demand
Databases sit at the center of almost every production system, which makes how you govern access to them a material security question. The standard approach (with shared accounts, standing credentials, manually managed permissions) trades convenience for risk. When access isn't tied to an individual, it can't be audited properly, and it rarely gets cleaned up when it should. P0 fixes that model. Access is scoped to the specific task and role, tied to a named user's identity, and revoked automatically when the session ends. No shared DB users, no credentials to rotate, no proxy layers to maintain.
Just-enough and just-in-time access
Each request is scoped to a specific database role (read-only, stats-reader, admin-lite) or even to a single query. Access is tied to the task, not the person's standing permissions and it expires when the work is done.
IdP-native identity, no shared accounts
Access goes to the individual, not a shared account. Logs are tied to the person who made the request, using your identity provider's authentication, so there's always a clear record of who accessed what.
No added infrastructure
P0 connects to your existing databases and identity provider directly, provisions access through the database's own authentication, and handles revocation automatically when time's up. Nothing to deploy or manage.
Why it matters
Protect your data without blocking your teams
Most organizations treat least-privileged access as something to aspire to. P0 makes it the default. Security teams get clean audit trails and proper access boundaries. Developers get the access they need in seconds, through the tools and workflows they already use.
Zero standing privileges
Access is granted to a named user's identity, for the task they need and expires automatically once they're done.
Context-based control
Request a role, a query, or a time window. Access is scoped precisely to the task without any excess permissions.
Tamper-evident audit logs
Every session is logged to the individual who ran it. Clean, attributable records for compliance and investigation.
Fast, frictionless access
Requests go through Slack, the CLI, or the web console. No tickets, no waiting on an admin, no shared accounts.
Automate least-privileged database access with precisely scoped, just-in-time controls
