Audit Trail
Definition
An audit trail is a chronological record of system activities, user actions, and data changes that provides evidence of security-relevant events for forensic analysis and compliance purposes. Effective audit trails capture who performed an action, what was changed, when it occurred, and from where.
Immutable, tamper-evident audit logs are required by compliance frameworks including PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.
