O365 Compliance Content Search Started

Description

This detection will trigger when a content search is initiated within the Office 365 Security and Compliance Center, a critical component in the suite’s governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) capabilities. By monitoring the SearchCreated operation within the o365_management_activity logs, specifically under the SecurityComplianceCenter workload, this analytic flags the commencement of searches across the organization’s data, including emails, documents, and more, that reside in ExchangeLocations.

Detection logic

 `o365_management_activity` Workload=SecurityComplianceCenter Operation=SearchCreated

| stats count earliest(_time) as firstTime latest(_time) as lastTime by Operation, ObjectId, ExchangeLocations, user, Query  
|`security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
