CIS Benchmark for CockroachDB Security | CockroachDB

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) has released the CIS CockroachDB v25.x Benchmark, offering a consensus-driven security configuration guide for self-hosted CockroachDB deployments. This benchmark provides an authoritative baseline for security teams, auditors, and platform engineers to ensure secure CockroachDB operations, aiding in standardizing database security practices and reducing audit preparation time. Developed through a collaborative process involving security experts and practitioners, it includes 30 Level 1 recommendations across six security domains, such as installation and patches, system hardening, logging and monitoring, user access, data protection, and CockroachDB settings. The benchmark is applicable to organizations operating in regulated industries or those seeking to enhance operational consistency and security across environments. It supports compliance with frameworks like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and FedRAMP, and is available for download, offering clear descriptions, audit procedures, and remediation steps for each control. As a continuously evolving tool, it facilitates secure deployment practices and fosters communication between engineering, security, compliance, and audit teams.
