Audit Logs
Logging data that appears within the browser is a uniquely valuable process -- because it reveals how company IP may have been compromised after it has become decrypted.

Granular Detail
Audit logging entails the systematic documentation of activities within the software systems employed throughout your organization.
These logs capture vital information, including the event itself, its timestamp, the user or service accountable, and the affected entity. Audit logs are generated by all the devices within your network, your cloud services, and the applications you utilize, presenting a valuable resource for auditing endeavors.
Examination of audit logs enables system administrators to monitor user actions, while security teams can utilize them to investigate security breaches and ensure compliance with regulatory mandates.

Benefits of
Audit Logging
Ensuring compliance with industry regulation
Regulations such as CIS, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 have implications for a diverse range of industries. Audit logs serve as valuable tools to demonstrate that your organization has adhered to specific standards, like password security requirements for CIS, within a specified timeframe.
Investigating Data Loss Issues
Audit logs encompass comprehensive historical data that proves invaluable for reconstructing the sequence of events during a system outage or incident. These logs serve as a means to differentiate between errors caused by operators and those attributed to system malfunctions. Additionally, audit trails play a critical role in issue resolution, such as the potential restoration of a corrupted file to its initial state by analyzing the documented changes made to it.
Reconstructing security breaches
In the event of a breach, an audit trail becomes instrumental in uncovering the details of the incident. For instance, if an employee reports inaccuracies in their bank account information within the payroll system, the HR team can analyze audit logs to pinpoint the responsible party and ascertain when the account information was altered.

Audit Logs from an Enterprise Browser
They're Complete
A comprehensive auditing solution must gather all pertinent information to uphold an exhaustive audit trail. For instance, a tool that records user actions without including data regarding location and timestamps is considered incomplete. Because Primary logs triangulate multiple telemetry signals at once, audit logs are complete and chronological.
They Identify Threats
Audit logs provide organizations with detailed insights into data access patterns, including who accessed the data, when, and the modifications made. This precision in tracking enables data teams to preemptively tackle vulnerable areas and fosters adherence to company data policies among employees.
Easy
Querying
For effective analysis of audit logs, the logging tool should possess the capability to transform raw log data into structured information that incorporates key details such as event names, event descriptions, user IDs, and more. Primary provides this level of cross-mapping and granularity, while also implementing enriched metadata for advanced data science.
How the SEC has mandated
New Regulatory Audit Requirements
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has implemented regulations mandating that registrants disclose significant cybersecurity incidents as they occur. Additionally, on an annual basis, registrants are required to disclose material details concerning their cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance.

Intelligent Auditing
Integrate Browser Auditing with Existing Control Planes
For many businesses, maintaining a data audit trail is a legal obligation. Numerous regulatory standards like ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and PNR Directive necessitate record-keeping. These audit logs serve as evidence that an organization met specific criteria within a given timeframe.
Primary provides turn-key aggregation for many such standards, and can be a tool used by organizations who either want to enhance their compliance standards - or for companies who are behind on standard updates and need a rapid-deploy solution.

Types of Auditing
Activity tracking
Internally, various company stakeholders including management, product teams, and IT utilize activity tracking to obtain invaluable insights.

Management leverages it to ensure compliance with system access protocols. Product and development teams use it to acquire a pre-error understanding of system conditions, which serves as a preventive measure against future failures.

For the development team, it provides an extra layer of transparency when troubleshooting configuration alterations.
External Compliance
External compliance requirements play a crucial role. Audit logs are essential to meet these external compliance standards, given the legal obligations that companies must uphold.

Industry-specific compliance and certification standards, such as SOC2, demand audit logs that strictly adhere to rigorous criteria encompassing security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Non-compliance with these standards carries significant repercussions, including accreditation loss and potential legal liabilities.
Security
Additionally, audit logs play a crucial role in capturing security-related data and are invaluable for monitoring security incidents, even when other preventive and protective measures are in effect.

Essentially, audit logs offer the ability to "replay" events sequentially, aiding in the comprehension of the circumstances leading to a security breach.

For instance, an event log can provide insights into potential user account breaches and whether user privileges were elevated to access particular files or directories containing sensitive information.
