Where audit logging fits in a long-term product team.

Audit logs answer different questions from application logs and have different requirements. Audit logs must be immutable, complete for the actions in scope and kept for a defined period, and they are read by auditors and investigators.

Completeness is the requirement that is hardest to meet. An audit trail capturing user interface actions but missing changes made through an API, a batch job or direct database access is incomplete in exactly the ways an investigation cares about.

What your dedicated team does with audit logging.

Immutability has to be enforced technically. If an administrator can delete audit records, the trail proves nothing about an administrator's actions, which is often exactly what an audit exists to examine.

Append-only storage with separated access control is what makes it meaningful, and it is designed in as part of the standards described in how an assignment runs.

Common audit logging use cases.

  • A trail that covers every path Interface, API and batch changes all recorded, not only the ones users see.
  • Immutability enforced technically Append-only storage, so the trail proves something about privileged actions.
  • Retention matched to obligation A defined period aligned to the actual regulatory requirement.
