Patrick,

Absolutely. Security label is mechanism of access control, utilized by MAC
(mandatory access control) model, and not utilized by DAC (discretionary
access control) model, we all are used to. In database content it is
illustrated for instance here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-security-label.html

Now, as per my goals, I'm making a security assessment for Cassandra DB
with a goal to produce STIG on this product. That is one of the parameters
in database SRG I have to assess against.

Thanks,

Oleg
