I don't believe the EAL certification is valid for the community version of PostgreSQL. >From the EAL certification report: "PostgreSQL Certified Version is a relational database management system, which is applicable to enterprise business. It is an enhanced version of the open source PostgreSQL and delivered from NTT Data Corp. PostgreSQL Certified Version runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS v.4 for x86." As far as DoD STIG requirements go, I would recommend reviewing the generic database checklist: http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/content_pages/database_security.html It's not much, but it's a start.
