May be of interest to some here. EDB is the commercial enhancement to
PostgreSQL.

http://www.enterprisedb.com/news-events/press-releases/us-government-publishes-edb-postgres-advanced-server-security-technical-i

Release Date:
Jul 14, 2016

*EDB Postgres Advanced Server STIG becomes first open source-based database
STIG to be published by the Department of Defense*

*Government-validated security guide increases speed and security for U.S.
agencies’ deployment of EDB Postgres*

​I think that calling EDB an "open source-based database" may be
technically correct, but perhaps a bit misleading. It is a commercial
database derived from an open source database. And they do contribute back
to the PostgreSQL community. I'm just being picky.

The actual site containing the paper, and others, is here:
