PostgreSQL has a very good fame of security in real-world applications, but
frankly it is at most in C2 level according to TCSEC standards (the in-core
support of "auditing" is missing). So to support B1, there are some
non-trivial work ahead I am afraid :-( I would suggest you have a look at
the TCSEC standards and list the *exact* functionalities that we don't
provide so far.
