A method by one or more electronic devices to notify an administrator when it is safe to mitigate a non-compliant database configuration of a database. The method includes responsive to identifying the non-compliant database configuration of the database, applying a security rule that detects occurrences of database operations that make use of the non-compliant database configuration and responsive to a determination that the security rule has not been invoked for at least a threshold length of time, causing a notification to be sent to the administrator that indicates that it is safe for the administrator to mitigate the non-compliant database configuration.
