VisitDBHawk vs DSGuard
What both publish
| Fact | DBHawk | DSGuard |
|---|---|---|
| Audit | DBHawk records SQL queries and administrative actions in a centralized audit log. | The gateway logs queries with identity, decisions and block reasons; Database Activity Monitoring adds native database audit, including access that bypasses the gateway. |
| Compliance | DataSparc says DBHawk’s access controls, masking, and auditing support organizations seeking compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, FISMA, FERPA, and PCI. | The site describes technical controls and audit evidence supporting PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOX, HIPAA, GDPR and KVKK, and says DSGuard is not itself a certification. |
| Database coverage | Supported engines include Oracle, Db2, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Amazon RDS and Aurora, Azure SQL, Redshift, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Cassandra and other JDBC databases. | The site lists PostgreSQL, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB through the MySQL-compatible wire protocol, MongoDB and ClickHouse. |
| Deployment | The homepage says DBHawk can be deployed on Windows, Mac, Linux, Docker, or Kubernetes. | DSGuard can be deployed on-premises, in private or public cloud, or in hybrid environments; the site names AWS, Azure and GCP compatibility for public cloud. |
| Integrations | DataSparc lists SAML, LDAP, Okta, and SSO integrations, and its homepage also names Azure Entra, Google, CyberArk, and HashiCorp. | The site lists a Prometheus metrics endpoint, provisioned Grafana dashboards and centralized query and application logs for a SIEM. |
| Intended users | DataSparc describes DBHawk as a unified browser-based workspace for users ranging from database administrators to business analysts. | The site says DSGuard is built to secure critical database infrastructure for regulated companies, including banking and finance, insurance, fintech platforms, data-intensive systems and high-volume databases. |
