Audit Logs
Maintain a complete, immutable record of all privacy-related actions — from DSR handling to consent changes to policy updates — so you're always ready for a regulatory audit.
Why teams choose Audit Logs
Tamper-Proof Logging
Cryptographically signed log entries that cannot be altered or deleted.
Cross-System Coverage
Capture audit events from TruePrivacy and all connected integrations.
Instant Search
Full-text search across millions of log entries in milliseconds.
Export & Reports
Export logs in standard formats for external auditors and regulators.
Detailed Capabilities
A closer look at what Audit Logs does inside TruePrivacy.
Tamper-Proof Log Storage
Every audit event is written to an append-only, cryptographically signed log store. Log entries cannot be modified or deleted, providing a trustworthy record that withstands regulatory scrutiny.
Cross-System Event Capture
Audit events are captured from TruePrivacy itself and from all connected integrations. DSR executions, consent changes, data access events, and policy updates all appear in a single unified audit trail.
Full-Text Search & Filtering
Search across millions of log entries by event type, user, system, data subject, timestamp range, or any combination. Results are returned in milliseconds even on very large log volumes.
Real-Time Log Streaming
Stream audit events to your SIEM in real time via webhooks or a direct Splunk, Elastic, or Microsoft Sentinel integration. Security and compliance teams get a live feed without accessing TruePrivacy directly.
Automated Retention Policies
Configure retention periods per log category. Logs required for regulatory compliance are retained for the legally required period and automatically purged when no longer needed, managing storage costs without compliance risk.
Audit Report Generation
Generate formatted audit reports for specific time periods, event types, or data subjects on demand. Reports are exportable as PDF and CSV for submission to external auditors and regulators.
How It Works
From setup to ongoing compliance in a few straightforward steps.
Automatic Event Capture
Every action in TruePrivacy and all connected integrations generates audit events automatically. No configuration is needed — logging starts from the moment you connect your first integration.
Immutable Storage
Events are written to the append-only log store with cryptographic signatures. The integrity of each log entry can be verified independently, proving that the log has not been tampered with.
Search & Investigate
Use the audit log search interface to investigate specific events, trace a data subject's history across all systems, or reconstruct a timeline of actions during a compliance incident.
Export & Report
Generate formatted audit reports for specific scopes — a single DSR, all consent events for a month, all access to a specific data store — and export them for internal review or regulatory submission.

Common questions about Audit Logs in TruePrivacy.
Each log entry includes a cryptographic hash of its content plus the hash of the previous entry, forming a hash chain. Any modification to a historical entry invalidates the hashes of all subsequent entries, making tampering detectable. The root hash is periodically published to an external transparency log for additional assurance.
Default retention is 7 years for privacy operation logs to cover the longest applicable regulatory investigation window. Retention periods are configurable per log category. Legal hold functionality can preserve specific log ranges beyond the standard retention period.
Yes. TruePrivacy supports real-time log streaming to Splunk, Elastic/ELK, Microsoft Sentinel, and any SIEM that accepts webhook events or syslog format. Your security team can monitor privacy operation events alongside security events in their existing tooling.
Yes. The TruePrivacy API provides full access to audit log data with the same search and filter capabilities as the UI. This enables automated compliance reporting, integration with GRC platforms, and custom log analysis workflows.
Yes. Data access events — queries against personal data, DSR data exports, report downloads — are captured alongside modification events. This provides a complete picture of data access for DPA investigations and internal access reviews.
