* **Detect and Prevent Security Risks:** Receive real-time alerts on **suspicious data activities**, privilege escalations, and compliance violations.

#### **How It Works** <a href="#how-it-works" id="how-it-works"></a>

1. **Register the Data Source:** Provide connection details for Snowflake, Databricks, SQL Server, Aurora RDS, or MySQL.
2. **Access To Metadata :** TrustLogix requires metadata related to data catalog and auditlogs to support access governance and monitoring capabilities.
3. **Configure Governance Policies:** Define **role-based, attribute-based, and masking policies** tailored to your security needs.
4. **Enable Monitoring & Reporting:** Gain **real-time visibility into access patterns, entitlement changes, and policy enforcement gaps**.
5. **Automate Compliance & Audits:** Generate **SOC 2, SOX, and CIS benchmark reports** to ensure regulatory compliance.

By integrating TrustLogix with your data sources, you gain full control over **data security, access governance, and compliance monitoring** without impacting performance.
