Regulatory Compliance
Satisfy PIPA, ISMS-P, Financial Security Regulations, GDPR, SOX, and PCI-DSS mandates with Real-User Binding and Instant Gate.
PLATE 05
Regulatory Requirements vs. AUDIGATE Coverage Matrix
| Regulation & Clause | Core Mandate | Legacy Gap | AUDIGATE Capability | Audit Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PIPA (Korea) Safety Measures Art. 8 | Identify the exact handler, timestamp, client IP, and operation on personal data | Connection pools hide real users behind shared APP_USER and WAS IP | Real-user binding Binds WAS user, session ID, and client IP into DB session context. | Unified record: Real User + WAS/DB Session + SQL |
| PIPA · ISMS-P Art. 5 / ISMS-P 2.5.5–2.5.6 | Grant least privilege only as needed and retain all grant/revoke histories | Granted privileges remain Always ON 24/7 after work completes | Timed privilege (Instant Gate) Instead of a standing GRANT, a Dynamic Role is on only inside the approved window. | Lifecycle log: request, approval, activation, auto-revoke |
| Financial Sec. Reg. Art. 13–14 (data and system protection) | Prior approval for direct DB access, strict scope enforcement, and full query trail | TLS/native encryption blinds network packet-sniffing gateways | In-DB control · column audit Password Role blocks unapproved SQL; Unified Audit / DBMS_FGA cover columns. | Ticket-to-SQL verification and column-level trail |
| ISMS-P · Internal Control 2.9.4 Log & Access Review | Monthly access log review, anomaly detection for mass downloads & out-of-hours access | Manual timestamp correlation across fragmented WAS and DB logs takes weeks | Selective audit · SIEM Collect and search named objects/columns; export over syslog or API. | Per-user/per-table summary and retention |
| GDPR · SOX · PCI-DSS Art. 32 / SOX 404 / PCI 7 & 10 | Individual accountability behind shared accounts, privileged access control, audit trail | Application connection pools require shared DB accounts, causing recurring audit findings | Attribution without app changes Attributes pooled queries to a person without changing application code. | Same person across WAS and direct SQL tools |
Capability coverage
| AUDIGATE module | How it works | Requirement it addresses | What the audit keeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real-user binding | Puts the login id, WAS session, and client IP on the database session (CLIENT_IDENTIFIER / ECID). | PIPA access-log duty, ISMS-P 2.9.4, GDPR Art. 32, PCI-DSS 10.2 | A pooled-account statement keeps the person and both sessions on one event. |
| Just-in-time role | A per-job AUTH-KEY turns a dynamic role on only for the approved window, instead of a standing GRANT. | Least privilege, ISMS-P 2.5.5–2.5.6, financial supervisory rules Art. 13–14, SOX 404 | Request, approval, activation, and expiry are each recorded. |
| Object and column audit | Unified Audit and DBMS_FGA record only tables and sensitive columns named in advance. | Safeguards duty, ISMS-P 2.6.2, and financial access tracing | SQL, object, column, and the real user stay in one flow, including when TLS hides the packet. |
| Review and SIEM | Unapproved direct access and mass reads are collected and sent over syslog or an API. | Periodic access review, anomaly monitoring, and retention of evidence | Application access and direct SQL-tool access can be searched for the same user and object. |
Auditors Ask Two Questions: "Who" and "Why Now"
Recurring audit findings across data protection and financial regulations come down to two structural gaps:
- Unidentified users behind shared accounts — Database logs show only the connection pool account (
APP_USER), making it impossible to prove which individual accessed personal data. - Always-ON standing privileges — SELECT and DML permissions granted for a ticket remain active overnight and on weekends after the task ends.
AUDIGATE binds the authenticated WAS user onto the database session and turns a dynamic role on only for the approved window. The tables above line each requirement up with the feature and the evidence it leaves. They are a coverage map, not a certification.
Existing access control, account management, and SIEM stay. AUDIGATE is the layer that connects the real user and the approval time to those records.
