Step-by-Step Execution:
-
Policy Enforcement Trigger: Azure Policy Engine evaluates all AI resources every 10 minutes. When a high-risk AI system (per EU AI Act Annex III) is detected without proper governance tags, a policy violation event is generated.
-
API Gateway Ingestion: Sentinel API Gateway (Node.js) receives the policy event via HTTPS POST to
/v1/audit/policy. The request includes:- JWT Bearer Token (Azure AD B2C, scoped to
audit.write) - JSON payload with event metadata (timestamp, resource ID, policy definition, violation details)
- JWT Bearer Token (Azure AD B2C, scoped to
-
Schema Validation: API Gateway validates the payload against the Immutable Audit Log JSON Schema (see §3). If validation fails, a 400 Bad Request is returned with error details.
-
Queue for Processing: Valid log entries are enqueued to Azure Service Bus (topic:
audit-logs-high-priority) with message TTL = 5 minutes. -
Log Enrichment: Azure Function (Python 3.11) dequeues the message and:
- Enriches with geolocation data (from IP address)
- Applies PII redaction (using regex + Named Entity Recognition)
- Adds regulatory context (maps violation to NIST AI RMF subcategory)
-
HSM Signature Generation: The log processor sends the enriched log entry to Azure Key Vault HSM to generate an HMAC-SHA256 signature using a managed HSM key (
omni-sentinel-log-signing-key-2026). The HSM returns:- Signature: 32-byte hex string
- Timestamp: RFC 3339 format with microsecond precision
-
Immutable Storage: The signed log entry is written to Azure Log Analytics via the Azure Monitor Ingestion API. Logs are stored in the
OmniSentinelAuditLogs_CLcustom table with immutable retention policy (cannot be deleted or modified for 2 years). -
Archival: Logs older than 90 days are automatically moved to Azure Blob Storage (immutable WORM storage) by an Azure Data Factory pipeline that runs daily at 02:00 UTC.
-
Audit Query: Compliance auditors access the Governance Dashboard (Next.js app) and execute KQL queries to retrieve logs. Example query:
OmniSentinelAuditLogs_CL | where event_type_s == "azure_policy_violation" | where regulatory_framework_s contains "EU_AI_Act" | where timestamp_t >= ago(30d) | project timestamp_t, actor_user_id_s, resource_id_s, violation_details_s, hmac_signature_s | order by timestamp_t desc

Regulatory Requirements:
- EU AI Act Art. 13(1): "High-risk AI systems shall be designed and developed with capabilities enabling the automatic recording of events (logs) over the lifetime of the system."
- GDPR Art. 25: "Data protection by design and by default" — PII must be redacted at ingestion
- NIST SP 800-92: "Log entries should include timestamp, source, event type, outcome, and actor"
Security Constraints:
- Immutability:
additionalProperties: false— no runtime injection of new fields - PII Protection:
propertyNamesregex constraint blocks Social Security Numbers, credit cards, etc. - Cryptographic Integrity: Every log entry includes HMAC-SHA256 signature (HSM-generated)
- Non-Repudiation: Trusted timestamps from Azure HSM (RFC 3161 compliant)

Scenario: Automated scanner flags "api_key" in schema documentation comments as a secret exposure.
Validation:
- Context Review: Field name is
"hsm_key_id"(Azure Key Vault reference), not an actual API key value. - Regex Check:
propertyNamesconstraint blocksapi_keyin field names, not in field values. - Risk Assessment: No actual secret exposure; documentation is correctly referencing key management practice.
Determination: ✅ FALSE POSITIVE — Schema design is secure; no remediation required.
- Schema Validation: Deploy JSON Schema to API Gateway (validate on POST /v1/audit/*)
- HSM Key Rotation: Configure 90-day key rotation policy in Azure Key Vault
- Immutable Storage: Enable WORM policy on Azure Blob Storage (7-year retention)
- RBAC Configuration: Grant
Key Vault Crypto Userrole to Log Processing Azure Function - Monitoring: Create Azure Monitor alerts for:
- Schema validation failures (threshold: >10/min)
- HSM signature generation errors (threshold: >5/min)
- Log Analytics ingestion latency (P99 > 100ms)
- Compliance Audit: Schedule quarterly review of 100 random log entries for PII/secret leakage
- Documentation: Update OMNI_SENTINEL_GOVERNANCE_REPORT.md with schema version and deployment date
