Why Audit Trails Matter
Audit trails are essential for accountability and defensibility because they show who accessed, changed, or disposed of records and when those actions occurred. They support compliance obligations, internal investigations, and legal defensibility, and should be captured automatically by systems rather than relying on manual tracking.
Reflection Questions
  1. Do your systems maintain reliable and complete audit trails?
  2. Are audit logs actively reviewed, or simply enabled and forgotten?
Action: Confirm whether audit logging is enabled in at least one key system.
