Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-APP-000313-DB-000309

    Group
  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must associate organization-defined types of security labels having organization-defined security label values with information in process.

    Without the association of security labels to information, there is no basis for the DBMS to make security-related access-control decisions. Security labels are abstractions representing the basic...

    Group
  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must associate organization-defined types of security labels having organization-defined security label values with information in transmission.

  • SRG-APP-000328-DB-000301

    Group
  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must enforce discretionary access control policies, as defined by the data owner, over defined subjects and objects.

    Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is based on the notion that individual users are "owners" of objects, and therefore have discretion over who should be authorized to access the object and in whic...

  • SRG-APP-000340-DB-000304

    Group
  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must prevent nonprivileged users from executing privileged functions to include disabling, circumventing, or altering implemented security safeguards/countermeasures.

    Preventing nonprivileged users from executing privileged functions mitigates the risk that unauthorized individuals or processes may gain unnecessary access to information or privileges. System d...

  • SRG-APP-000342-DB-000302

    Group
  • Execution of software modules (to include stored procedures, functions, and triggers) with elevated privileges must be restricted to necessary cases only.

    In certain situations, to provide required functionality, a DBMS needs to execute internal logic (stored procedures, functions, triggers, etc.) and/or external code modules with elevated privileges...

  • SRG-APP-000357-DB-000316

    Group
  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements.

    In order to ensure sufficient storage capacity for the audit logs, the DBMS must be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. Although another requirement (SRG-APP-000515-DB-000318) mandates ...

  • SRG-APP-000359-DB-000319

    Group
  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must provide a warning to appropriate support staff when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of maximum audit record storage capacity.

    Organizations are required to use a central log management system, so under normal conditions, the audit space allocated to the DBMS on its own server will not cause an issue. However, space will s...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000360-DB-000320

    Group
  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must provide an immediate real-time alert to appropriate support staff of all audit log failures.

    It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impe...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000374-DB-000322

    Group
  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must record time stamps in audit records and application data that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, formerly GMT).

    If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by the DBMS must include date and time. Time ...

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.
