Checklist Summary:

The Crunchy Data PostgreSQL Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) is published as a tool to improve the security of Department of Defense (DoD) information systems. This document is meant to be used in conjunction with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (OS) STIG, Network STIG, and other STIGs as applicable to the database host environment. It is based on the Database Security Requirements Guide (SRG), Version 2, Release 10, which in turn derives its cybersecurity controls from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-53, Revision 4. Postgres (also known as PostgreSQL) is an open-source, community-developed database management system supported by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group. That body permits and encourages the modification, extension, and redistribution of its base product. Crunchy Data PostgreSQL supplies certified builds for enterprise distribution. One extension of importance to this STIG is pgAudit, also open source and developed by a parallel organization. This STIG requires that the product be deployed on a FIPS-compliant, cryptography-enabled operating system found in the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/validated-modules) or by other means ensure that FIPS 140-2-certified OpenSSL libraries are used by the database management system (DBMS).
