Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 4, Utility: 6)

Basecheck is a database auditing tool that checks security configurations across PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Supabase, and SQLite, outputting findings to JSON, HTTP, or syslog for SIEM integration. It offers a free tier with 61 controls across six packs and a paid tier with additional features. The project is interesting for its multi-database support and focus on concrete security controls, though it is currently limited by its BSL license and lack of native SIEM connectors.

Target audience: devops, security engineers, database administrators
