# audit_policy
|
|
|
|
Use the `audit_policy` Inspec audit resource to test auditing policies on the Windows platform. An auditing policy is a category of security-related events to be audited. Auditing is disabled by default and may be enabled for categories like account management, logon events, policy changes, process tracking, privilege use, system events, or object access. For each enabled auditing category property, the auditing level may be set to `No Auditing`, `Not Specified`, `Success`, `Success and Failure`, or `Failure`.

## Syntax
|
|
|
|
An `audit_policy` resource block declares a parameter that belongs to an audit policy category or subcategory:
|
|
|
|
describe audit_policy do
|
|
its('parameter') { should eq 'value' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
* `'parameter'` must specify a parameter
|
|
* `'value'` must be one of `No Auditing`, `Not Specified`, `Success`, `Success and Failure`, or `Failure`
|
