MySQL recovery and hardening for revenue-critical data.
We repair compromised or corrupted MySQL environments, recover lost data, and leave you with resilient replication, backups, and visibility.
0
Rows lost
Point-in-time restores and replication checks ensure zero data loss during recovery.
90 min
Average service restoration
Production traffic routed back to clean primaries with replicas synced inside 90 minutes.
24/7
Monitoring coverage
Post-engagement alerting and query insights keep performance and integrity steady.
Recovery scenarios
From malicious schema edits to replica failure, we handle the incidents that put revenue and trust on the line.
Malicious schema changes
We triage injected admin users, altered schemas, and rogue scheduled events—restoring from snapshots and diffing changes for compliance.
Corrupted backups & replication
Repair or rebuild replication topologies, verify backups, and configure automated integrity checks across regions.
Performance collapse after cleanup
Tune queries, indexes, and configuration to ensure restored environments remain fast under load.
Recovery playbook
A disciplined response that recovers data quickly and leaves your MySQL estate stronger.
Phase 1
Stabilise & capture
Lock malicious accounts, pause destructive processes, export binary logs, and capture consistent snapshots for forensic review.
Phase 2
Restore & validate
Replay binlogs, rebuild primaries/replicas, validate data integrity, and confirm application connectivity across environments.
Phase 3
Harden & monitor
Implement least privilege, rotate credentials, add query auditing, configure backups/replication tests, and hand over runbooks.
What you get within the first day
- Binlog capture, compromised account list, and initial integrity verification report.
- Clean primary/replica environment staged with application smoke tests completed.
- Monitoring dashboards and alerts piped into Slack/Teams for ongoing visibility.
Deliverables
We leave you with documentation, automation, and training so databases stay trustworthy and performant.
Recovery report
Timeline, affected schemas, and remediation actions ready for engineering leaders and auditors.
Clean data snapshot
Verified exports and restore points documented for future rollback or analytics needs.
Replication topology
Blueprint for primary/replica or multi-region setups with automated health checks and failover scripts.
Performance tune-up
Indexing, query optimisation, and configuration adjustments to keep throughput high after the incident.
Frequently asked
We snap into your DBA and engineering workflows so recovery and hardening feel natural.
Can you work with Aurora, RDS, or managed MySQL?
Yes. We handle self-managed MySQL/MariaDB and managed offerings like AWS RDS/Aurora, Google Cloud SQL, and Azure Database for MySQL.
What if our backups failed?
We attempt binlog recovery, forensic reconstruction, and coordinate with hosting/cloud providers to retrieve snapshots.
Will the fix slow production queries?
No. Performance tuning is part of the engagement. We test and monitor before handing back, providing dashboards and alerts.
