#Requires -Version 5.1 <# .SYNOPSIS Specialized security logging module for SID removal operations .DESCRIPTION Provides focused security event logging functionality specifically designed for SID removal operations. This module implements the "tool" pattern for consistent security audit logging with enterprise-grade compliance support. This module focuses solely on security event logging, enabling independent testing and reuse across different security-sensitive operations. .NOTES Author: Jeffrey Stuhr Blog: https://www.techbyjeff.net LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-stuhr-034214aa/ Last Updated: 2025-01-27 Version: 1.0.0 PowerShell Version: 5.1+ (Windows), 7.x+ (Cross-platform) TROUBLESHOOTING: - For logging issues: .\Troubleshooting\Common\Logging-Issues.md - For security audit compliance: .\Troubleshooting\Security\Audit-Compliance.md DEPENDENCIES: - Requires Logging.ps1 for Write-SecurityLog function - Requires Logging.ps1 for Write-StructuredLog function #> function Write-RemovalSecurityLog { <# .SYNOPSIS Writes specialized security audit logs for SID removal operations .DESCRIPTION Creates comprehensive security audit logs specifically designed for SID removal operations with enterprise compliance requirements. This function implements focused security logging following the "tool" pattern. Security logging includes: - Operation context and authorization details - Risk assessment and security validation results - Detailed SID removal tracking - Compliance-ready audit trail formatting .PARAMETER SecurityEventType Type of security event being logged (e.g., 'PrivilegeUse', 'ObjectAccess'). Must be a valid security event classification. .PARAMETER Message Primary security event message describing the operation. Should be descriptive and suitable for security audit purposes. .PARAMETER Outcome Result of the security operation ('Attempt', 'Success', 'Failure'). Used for security monitoring and compliance reporting. .PARAMETER CorrelationId Unique identifier for tracking this security event across logs and audit trails. Generated automatically if not provided. .PARAMETER SecurityContext Hashtable containing security-specific context information such as target objects, SIDs processed, and risk assessments. .EXAMPLE PS> Write-RemovalSecurityLog -SecurityEventType 'PrivilegeUse' -Message "SID removal operation initiated" -Outcome 'Attempt' -CorrelationId $id -SecurityContext @{TargetObject = $dn; SIDsToRemove = $sids} DESCRIPTION: Logs the start of a SID removal operation OUTPUT: Security audit log entry with compliance formatting USE CASE: Enterprise security audit trail for SID removal operations .EXAMPLE PS> $context = @{Operation = 'RemoveOrphanedSIDs'; RiskLevel = 'Medium'; SIDsRemoved = 3} Write-RemovalSecurityLog -SecurityEventType 'ObjectAccess' -Message "ACL modification completed" -Outcome 'Success' -SecurityContext $context DESCRIPTION: Logs successful completion of ACL modifications OUTPUT: Detailed security log with operation results USE CASE: Compliance reporting and security monitoring .OUTPUTS None. This function writes to security audit logs and does not return values. .NOTES SECURITY COMPLIANCE: - Supports SOX, GDPR, HIPAA audit requirements - Provides non-repudiation through detailed logging - Includes risk assessment and authorization context - Maintains correlation tracking for forensic analysis AUDIT FEATURES: - Comprehensive operation context logging - Risk-based event classification - Detailed SID and object tracking - Enterprise SIEM integration ready PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS: - Logging Time: <10ms per event typically - Memory Usage: Minimal - efficient log formatting - Thread Safety: Safe for concurrent operations TROUBLESHOOTING: - For missing logs: Check logging configuration and permissions - For format issues: Verify security context structure - For performance: Consider log level filtering and batch operations #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateSet('PrivilegeUse', 'ObjectAccess', 'SecurityValidation', 'AuditTrail')] [string]$SecurityEventType, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$Message, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateSet('Attempt', 'Success', 'Failure')] [string]$Outcome, [Parameter()] [string]$CorrelationId = [System.Guid]::NewGuid().ToString(), [Parameter()] [hashtable]$SecurityContext = @{} ) try { # Build enhanced security context for removal operations $enhancedContext = @{ Operation = 'SIDRemoval' Component = 'RemovalSecurityLogging' EventType = $SecurityEventType Outcome = $Outcome Timestamp = Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ' User = $env:USERNAME Computer = $env:COMPUTERNAME CorrelationId = $CorrelationId } # Merge provided security context foreach ($key in $SecurityContext.Keys) { $enhancedContext[$key] = $SecurityContext[$key] } # Write to security audit log with specialized formatting Write-SecurityLog -SecurityEventType $SecurityEventType -Message $Message -Outcome $Outcome -CorrelationId $CorrelationId -SecurityContext $enhancedContext # Also write to structured log for operational visibility Write-StructuredLog "SECURITY EVENT: $SecurityEventType - $Message (Outcome: $Outcome)" -Level Information -CorrelationId $CorrelationId } catch { # Log security logging errors to ensure audit trail integrity Write-StructuredLog "Failed to write security audit log: $($_.Exception.Message)" -Level Error -CorrelationId $CorrelationId # Attempt fallback logging to ensure security event is captured try { Write-StructuredLog "SECURITY EVENT (FALLBACK): $SecurityEventType - $Message (Outcome: $Outcome)" -Level Warning -CorrelationId $CorrelationId } catch { # Final fallback - this should not happen in normal operations Write-Warning "Critical: Security audit logging failed completely for correlation ID: $CorrelationId" } } } |
