The DBMS must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to add privileges/permissions occur.
Failed attempts to change the permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized attempts to elevate or restrict privileges could go...Rule Medium Severity -

The DBMS must generate audit records when privileges/permissions are deleted.
Changes in the permissions, privileges, and roles granted to users and roles must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized elevation or restriction of privileges could go undetected. Elevat...Rule Medium Severity -

The DBMS must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to delete security objects occur.
The removal of security objects from the database/DBMS would seriously degrade a system's information assurance posture. If such an action is attempted, it must be logged. To aid in diagnosis, it ...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must generate audit records when categories of information (e.g., classification levels/security levels) are deleted.
Changes in categories of information must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized access to protected data could go undetected. For detailed information on categorizing information, refer...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to delete categories of information (e.g., classification levels/security levels) occur.
Changes in categories of information must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized access to protected data could go undetected. To aid in diagnosis, it is necessary to keep track of faile...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must generate audit records when unsuccessful logons or connection attempts occur.
For completeness of forensic analysis, it is necessary to track failed attempts to log on to the DBMS. While positive identification may not be possible in a case of failed authentication, as much ...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must generate audit records for all privileged activities or other system-level access.
Without tracking privileged activity, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. System documentation...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to execute privileged activities or other system-level access occur.
Without tracking privileged activity, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. System documentation...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must generate audit records for all direct access to the database(s).
In this context, direct access is any query, command, or call to the DBMS that comes from any source other than the application(s) that it supports. Examples would be the command line or a database...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must implement NIST FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 validated cryptographic modules to provision digital signatures.
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards ...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must use NSA-approved cryptography to protect classified information in accordance with the data owner's requirements.
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards ...Rule High Severity -
The DBMS must implement the capability to centrally review and analyze audit records from multiple components within the system.
Automated mechanisms for centralized reviews and analyses include Security Information and Event Management products.Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must alert organization-defined personnel or roles upon detection of unauthorized access, modification, or deletion of audit information.
Audit information includes all information needed to successfully audit system activity, such as audit records, audit log settings, audit reports, and personally identifiable information. Audit log...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must, for password-based authentication, maintain a list of commonly used, expected, or compromised passwords on an organization-defined frequency.
Password-based authentication applies to passwords regardless of whether they are used in single-factor or multifactor authentication. Long passwords or passphrases are preferable over shorter pass...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must, for password-based authentication, update the list of passwords when organizational passwords are suspected to have been compromised directly or indirectly.
Password-based authentication applies to passwords regardless of whether they are used in single-factor or multifactor authentication. Long passwords or passphrases are preferable over shorter pass...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must, for password-based authentication, verify that when users create or update passwords, the passwords are not found on the list of commonly-used, expected, or compromised passwords in IA-5 (1) (a).
Password-based authentication applies to passwords regardless of whether they are used in single-factor or multifactor authentication. Long passwords or passphrases are preferable over shorter pass...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must, for password-based authentication, require immediate selection of a new password upon account recovery.
Password-based authentication applies to passwords regardless of whether they are used in single-factor or multifactor authentication. Long passwords or passphrases are preferable over shorter pass...Rule Medium Severity -
The DBMS must, for password-based authentication, allow user selection of long passwords and passphrases, including spaces and all printable characters.
Password-based authentication applies to passwords regardless of whether they are used in single-factor or multifactor authentication. Long passwords or passphrases are preferable over shorter pass...Rule Medium Severity

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
