DEFINING FILE AUDITING
Let’s first look at what capabilities should be a part of file auditing that can apply to both native Windows tools, as well as 3rd-party solutions.
- Logging – all access and changes to files and folders, including data and permissions should be logged.
- Visibility – all audit log data should be easily accessible to be reviewed, filtered, searched, etc.
- Alerting – notifications should be sent based on matching criteria to actions deemed suspect.
- Reporting – this gets a bit tricky, but even native tools have the ability to export log data. So, even if it’s not pretty, the ability to generate sharable “reports” should be a part of file auditing.

In many cases, compliance requirements establish the security objective, and then provide detail on how to test that the objective is being met. File Auditing is your testing method to ensure the security you think you have around your protected data is actually doing its job.

MEETING COMPLIANCE OBJECTIVES
Nothing is more confusing than trying to meet compliance objectives. They are generally written in order to be applicable to any operating system, any network, and any infrastructure. While it makes sense that it’s impractical to write standards that apply specifically to the way your organization operates, authors have had to be more technically specific in recent years to hone in on what’s required of regulated businesses.
Most compliance standards revolve around a particular protected data set – health records, credit card details, personal information, and more – providing guidance around both optional and mandatory controls used to ensure proper access to, and usage of, that data.
Some standards remain “ancient” by IT standards, being even a few years old. With controls as unhelpful as “establish and maintain levels of security”, it’s no wonder IT organizations are left wondering if they’re meeting the requirement or not. The best examples of compliance mandates with easily applicable standards are the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v3.0 and the European Union’s forthcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
But even with well-written standards, there’s still cisco no way for the author to know exactly where each organization is storing its protected data. Thus, the standards, while written with technical specifications around the use of encryption, authentication methods, levels of access, and more, still require IT to determine the best way to ensure the intent of the standard is met.
