Native Compliance Automation for Aurora MySQL
Aurora MySQL provides built-in compliance mechanisms, primarily focusing on audit logging through the MariaDB audit plugin. This native solution logs detailed database events essential for regulatory adherence.
Activating the audit plugin involves the following simple command:
CALL mysql.rds_set_configuration('mariadb-audit-plugin', 'ENABLED');
With this setup, Aurora MySQL captures data access events and alterations, essential for compliance frameworks such as GDPR and HIPAA. Yet, native logs typically create substantial manual tasks. Analysts must sift through logs to identify compliance breaches, significantly increasing workload and resource demand.
A typical native configuration snippet might look like this:
SET GLOBAL server_audit_events = 'CONNECT,QUERY';
SET GLOBAL server_audit_logging = ON;
However, these built-in capabilities lack dynamic features such as adaptive intelligence, automated sensitivity detection, and self-learning rules. This necessitates frequent manual intervention to maintain compliance accuracy amid evolving regulatory requirements.
