Managing database changes is a high-stakes game. One wrong script—an untested DELETE, a missing WHERE, or a silent schema change—can bring down entire systems or expose sensitive data. For teams working in regulated environments like banking, finance, or healthcare, this is not just risky—it's unacceptable.

SQL Change Guard is built to solve that problem.

🚨 The Problem
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone:

SQL scripts are shared over email or chat.

No clear trace of who executed what, when, and in which environment.

Scripts are deployed to production without proper testing.

Risky commands like DROP, TRUNCATE, or DELETE slip through.

Lack of auditability or version control.

Sensitive tables are altered without access restrictions.

🔐 The Solution: SQL Change Guard
SQL Change Guard is a secure SQL change management platform for SQL Server environments, providing full control, visibility, and auditability over SQL scripts.

Key Features:
✅ Centralized Script Management

🧪 Sandbox Execution

🔐 Privacy and Access Control
