SRG-APP-000504-DB-000354
Group -
PostgreSQL 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 -
SRG-APP-000504-DB-000355
Group -
PostgreSQL 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 -
SRG-APP-000505-DB-000352
Group -
PostgreSQL must generate audit records showing starting and ending time for user access to the database(s).
For completeness of forensic analysis, it is necessary to know how long a user's (or other principal's) connection to PostgreSQL lasts. This can be achieved by recording disconnections, in addition...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000506-DB-000353
Group -
PostgreSQL must generate audit records when concurrent logons/connections by the same user from different workstations occur.
For completeness of forensic analysis, it is necessary to track who logs on to PostgreSQL. Concurrent connections by the same user from multiple workstations may be valid use of the system; or suc...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000507-DB-000356
Group -
PostgreSQL must be able to generate audit records when successful accesses to objects occur.
Without tracking all or selected types of access to all or selected objects (tables, views, procedures, functions, etc.), it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events r...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000508-DB-000358
Group -
PostgreSQL must generate audit records for all direct access to the database(s).
In this context, direct access is any query, command, or call to PostgreSQL that comes from any source other than the application(s) that it supports. Examples would be the command line or a databa...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000514-DB-000382
Group -
PostgreSQL must implement NIST FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 validated cryptographic modules to generate and validate cryptographic hashes.
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards appr...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000514-DB-000383
Group -
PostgreSQL must implement NIST FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 validated cryptographic modules to protect unclassified information requiring confidentiality and cryptographic protection, in accordance with the data owners' requirements.
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards appr...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000515-DB-000318
Group -
PostgreSQL must offload audit data to a separate log management facility; this must be continuous and in near real time for systems with a network connection to the storage facility and weekly or more often for standalone systems.
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Pos...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000001-DB-000031
Group -
PostgreSQL must limit the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number per user for all accounts and/or account types.
Database management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions using PostgreSQL. Unlimited concurrent connections to PostgreSQL could allow a successful denial-of-service...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.
