Well, i am pretty sure that pci dss could consider this a success.
This is because the standard speak of "security" relevant event , in
the same vain of the common criteria standards does. And some distro
that include the linux audit subsystem are common criteria certified (
check in the doc of the audit, package some example configuration for
these standards, Well documented).

Hope this help

best regards
