Audit Policy: Object Access: Central Access Policy Staging This policy setting allows you to audit access requests where the permission granted or denied by a proposed policy differs from the current central access policy on an object. If you configure this policy setting, an audit event is generated each time a user accesses an object and the permission granted by the current central access policy on the object differs from that granted by the proposed policy. The resulting audit event will be generated as follows: 1) Success audits, when configured, records access attempts when the current central access policy grants access but the proposed policy denies access. 2) Failure audits when configured records access attempts when: a) The current central access policy does not grant access but the proposed policy grants access. b) A principal requests the maximum access rights they are allowed and the access rights granted by the current central access policy are different than the access rights granted by the proposed policy. Volume: Potentially high on a file server when the proposed policy differs significantly from the current central access policy. Counter Measure: Enable Audit policy settings that support the organizational security policy for all the computers in your organization. Identify the components that you need for an audit policy that enables your organization to hold users accountable for their actions while using organizational resources and enables IT departments to detect unauthorized activity efficiently and then track those events in log files. Potential Impact: If no audit settings are configured, or if audit settings are too lax on the computers in your organization, security incidents might not be detected or not enough evidence will be available for network forensic analysis after security incidents occur. However, if audit settings are too severe, critically important entries in the Security log may be obscured by all of the meaningless entries and computer performance and the available amount of data storage may be seriously affected. Companies that operate in certain regulated industries may have legal obligations to log certain events or activities.
