I think it is one of the main responsibilities for a DBA to ensure and enforce security.
As for Oracle-related questions: There is no forum rule, that such questions should not be posted. However, it is surely a wiser decision to try Oracle-related communities first. Tehre you should get quicker a good solution. I like these Oracle resources
