Database Security Requirements Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SRG-APP-000378

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000380

    Group
  • The DBMS must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to the configuration of the DBMS or database(s).

    Failure to provide logical access restrictions associated with changes to configuration may have significant effects on the overall security of the system. When dealing with access restrictions p...

  • SRG-APP-000381

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000383

    Group
  • The DBMS must disable network functions, ports, protocols, and services deemed by the organization to be nonsecure, in accord with the Ports, Protocols, and Services Management (PPSM) guidance.

    Use of nonsecure network functions, ports, protocols, and services exposes the system to avoidable threats.

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000400

    Group
  • The DBMS must prohibit the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period.

    If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.

  • SRG-APP-000427

    Group
  • The DBMS must only accept end entity certificates issued by DoD PKI or DoD-approved PKI Certification Authorities (CAs) for the establishment of all encrypted sessions.

    Only DoD-approved external PKIs have been evaluated to ensure that they have security controls and identity vetting procedures in place which are sufficient for DoD systems to rely on the identity ...

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000429

    Group
  • The DBMS must implement cryptographic mechanisms preventing the unauthorized disclosure of organization-defined information at rest on organization-defined information system components.

    DBMSs handling data requiring "data at rest" protections must employ cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure and modification of the information at rest. These cryptographic mec...

  • SRG-APP-000431

    Group
  • The DBMS must maintain a separate execution domain for each executing process.

    Database management systems can maintain separate execution domains for each executing process by assigning each process a separate address space. Each process has a distinct address space so that ...

    Group
  • The DBMS must maintain the confidentiality and integrity of information during reception.

    Information can be either unintentionally or maliciously disclosed or modified during reception, including, for example, during aggregation, at protocol transformation points, and during packing/un...

    Group
  • When updates are applied to the DBMS software, any software components that have been replaced or made unnecessary must be removed.

    Previous versions of DBMS components that are not removed from the information system after updates have been installed may be exploited by adversaries. Some DBMSs' installation tools may remove ...

  • The DBMS must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to access security objects occur.

    Changes to the security configuration must be tracked. This requirement applies to situations where security data is retrieved or modified via data manipulation operations, as opposed to via speci...

  • SRG-APP-000494

    Group
  • The DBMS must generate audit records when categories of information (e.g., classification levels/security levels) are accessed.

    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...

  • The DBMS must generate audit records when privileges/permissions are added.

    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...

  • The DBMS must generate audit records when security objects are deleted.

    The removal of security objects from the database/DBMS would seriously degrade a system's information assurance posture. If such an event occurs, it must be logged.

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.
