SaaS EF Core Multi-tenant

Multi-tenant data isolation with EF Core and row-level security

Anonymized vertical SaaS: evolve from discriminator-column tenancy to defense-in-depth with EF global filters and SQL Server RLS.

Anonymized case study. Client name and identifying metrics are withheld. Patterns reflect representative senior .NET programs.

Multi-tenant database architecture

Executive summary

A growing SaaS product used a shared database with TenantId discriminators. A security review found several raw SQL paths and report jobs that bypassed EF filters.

The challenge

Legacy reports used ADO.NET. Background jobs sometimes ran without tenant context. Enterprise prospects required RLS evidence.

Technical approach

Tenant resolution middleware, EF global filters on all mapped entities, audit of raw SQL, SQL Server RLS policies per tenant principal, integration tests that assert isolation, and phased enablement with canary tenants.

Outcomes

Penetration test closed critical findings. Enterprise sales used RLS documentation in security packets. Support stopped chasing phantom data in wrong tenant UI.
