I think you heard about SE-PostgreSQL or Security-Enhanced PostgreSQL,
which uses Security-Enhanced Linux, originally developed by the US
NSA. Although I've never used it, I would think PostGIS would be
compatible with the framework.

Here is a good introduction to SE-PostgreSQL:

And and to SE-Linux:
