Audit trail creation for sensitive operations

Purpose

1.1. Automate the creation of detailed audit trails for all sensitive operations (e.g., safe opening, code changes, security breaches) in a safe and vault retail context.
1.2. Ensures automated compliance with security standards, enables forensic investigations, and streamlines secure documentation for regulatory audits.
1.3. Ensures that each transaction or sensitive access is automatically tracked, timestamped, and attributed to specific users or personnel, automating accountability and securing operational transparency.
1.4. Automates generation of immutable records for insurance, legal defense, and internal policy enforcement relating to safes and vaults.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automation starts on safe/vault access attempts (successful or failed).
2.2. Automates tracking when user credentials or access codes are changed.
2.3. Automated when sensitive system settings or security protocols are modified.
2.4. Automation activates when emergency access panel is used or tamper alarms are triggered.
2.5. Automating audit trails when maintenance or service personnel access restricted areas.
