Hi Ron,
Thank you for the response.
Actually we are in a starting phase and I have done instance level encryption (CYBERTECH TDE Patch) but if someone take dump and restore it on another server the data get restored successfully. Also the problem is that the data is in plain text.
So I want to ask if disk or instance level encryption useful or we should focus on column level encryption?
Also if any error occurred during DML and a plain query will be written into the logs which may not be compliant with PCI. How to overcome that?
Thanks.

Hi Team,
Anyone on PCI-DSS requirements for PostgreSQL DB, need help for some of the points.
Can you be more specific? (Typically. the auditors or the "audit pre-check" team will ask for a bunch of details on how your instance is configured.)
The usual questions I get are:
- What password hash algorithm is used?
- How frequently to passwords expire?
- Is SSL used when communicating with applications?
