Audit log protection system

Compliance

Reliable audit records

SMARTFENSE is a platform that stands out for delivering audit reports ready to be consumed by internal and external auditors.

In an audit process, this saves a great deal of time. But it is not enough to comply. A key aspect is that the platform has a log protection system, so that the records presented are reliable. That is to say, that they express reality in detail and that it is not possible to modify them in any way.

Why they are necessary

In auditing processes it is common to find false training and awareness records. This practice is carried out by organizations that have a need or urgency to comply with a regulation.

Auditors therefore need to have audit records that come from a reliable source that does not allow them to create or edit these records on demand. Audit records need to reflect reality, nothing more and nothing less.

What to register

The most obvious in an awareness program is to think of audit trails related to the actions of end users: which user completed which content, on which date, on which topic.

However, reliance on logs also comes from having detailed and unalterable records of actions taken by administrative users.

For example: the person in charge of an awareness program may show an annual plan to an auditor, and later delete all campaigns. In SMARTFENSE such a situation is recorded and it is not possible to delete or hide these records in any way.

System actions

In addition to end-user and administrative logs, it is also important to have logs detailing the actions performed by the platform.

For example, when a certain email was sent, when an automatic user import was performed, when information was exported to another platform, etc.

These logs must also be detailed and unalterable.

Anti-tampering system

Together, the end-user, administrative and system audit logs form the SMARTFENSE log system.

The fact that they are detailed and unalterable logs makes SMARTFENSE a reliable platform for third parties.

This is highly valued by external auditors and makes the audit process pleasant and without surprises.
