The Simpson post bases are designed for uplift, that’s why we use so many in Ca. It does not provide lateral(shear) stability.
They make one bracket that is like a 12” sleeve that provides shear as well(they are like 250$ea) and a pain to set, have specific cage requirements.
Go to the Simpson website.
Good luck!
