Testing Phase 3 Features

Access Test Interface

Navigate to /test-security-phase3 to access the comprehensive Phase 3 testing interface.

Test Scenarios

1. Incident Response Testing

// Simulate brute force attack
const context = {
  userId: 'test-user@example.com',
  action: 'LOGIN_FAILURE',
  ipAddress: '192.168.1.100',
  failureCount: 6
};
 
// This would trigger:
// - Brute force incident detection
// - Automated IP blocking
// - Security alert generation
// - Audit log creation

2. Security Policy Testing

// Test off-hours PHI access policy
const context = {
  userId: 'doctor@example.com',
  resource: 'phi_data',
  action: 'PHI_ACCESS',
  hour: 22 // 10 PM
};
 
// This would trigger:
// - Off-hours access policy
// - Compliance officer notification
// - Enhanced audit logging

3. Compliance Testing

// Run HIPAA compliance assessment
const assessment = await complianceService.runAutomatedAssessment('hipaa', 'admin');
 
// Results include:
// - Control compliance status
// - Overall compliance score
// - Remediation recommendations
// - Evidence collection
