# Audit System Integrity


**Applies to**

-   Windows 10
-   Windows 10 Mobile

This topic for the IT professional describes the Advanced Security Audit policy setting, **Audit System Integrity**, which determines whether the operating system audits events that violate the integrity of the security subsystem.

Activities that violate the integrity of the security subsystem include the following:

-   Audited events are lost due to a failure of the auditing system.

-   A process uses an invalid local procedure call (LPC) port in an attempt to impersonate a client, reply to a client address space, read to a client address space, or write from a client address space.

-   A remote procedure call (RPC) integrity violation is detected.

-   A code integrity violation with an invalid hash value of an executable file is detected.

-   Cryptographic tasks are performed.

**Important**  
Violations of security subsystem integrity are critical and could indicate a potential security attack.

 

Event volume: Low

Default: Success and failure
