See every database, trace every change

InvGate Asset Management discovers your databases automatically, flags what's out of support, maps what depends on them, and requires a reason before anything changes, all in one record.

Two screens, the whole record

The list view for triage across every instance, and the profile view for the full history on one database.

What is database governance?

The answer to "what do we have, and can we prove it?"

Most teams can name their production databases. What they can't do is prove which test instances, orphaned environments, and forgotten dev databases still exist, what depends on them, or who last touched them, and why. Database governance closes that gap.

A database is an asset. It has a lifecycle, an owner, dependencies, an end-of-life date. Database governance means all of that lives in the same system of record as the rest of your IT estate, updated automatically instead of assembled by hand before every audit.

How it works

Four capabilities, one record

The agent finds every database engine running in your environment. Atlas flags which versions are out of support. CI Dependencies maps what each database feeds and runs on. And a mandatory reason field means every ownership or configuration change leaves evidence behind, evidence that used to live in someone's memory or an old spreadsheet, if it lived anywhere at all.

Automated discovery

Automated discovery

The agent scans your environment and automatically picks up every engine running in it: PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, with nothing to install by hand and no instance quietly left off the record.

Lifecycle visibility

Lifecycle visibility

Atlas checks every version against its end-of-life and end-of-support dates and flags it directly on the database record, so the question gets answered long before an audit forces it.

Dependency mapping

Dependency mapping

“Stored In” and “Runs On” relationships trace every database to the applications and servers built on top of it, so a migration or decommission never comes as a surprise to someone else's team.

Change-audit evidence

Change-audit evidence

Every ownership or configuration change asks for a reason before it saves, and that reason stays attached to the CI's history for as long as the record exists.

Use cases

What this looks like in practice

Compliance

Audit-ready in minutes, not weeks

A compliance manager needs to answer which database engines are running, which versions, and which are already unsupported. Software > Databases already has the engine and version for every instance, filtered and exported in minutes, without opening a ticket, looping in a DBA, or spending a week chasing spreadsheets.

Infrastructure

Migrate without the surprise outage

Before moving a SQL Server instance to a new host, the infrastructure team checks its “Stored In” and “Runs On” relationships, sees exactly which applications depend on it, notifies the right owners, and migrates on schedule.

Security

The database nobody remembered, found before the audit did

A discovery pass turns up a four-year-old MySQL 5.7 instance nobody on the current team set up, already past end of life. It's decommissioned before the auditor asks about it.

Governance

Who changed this, and why, answered without a phone call

Months after a DBA updates ownership on a production database, a security review needs to know who changed it and why. The change history already has the answer, no one to track down.
