Why Audit Logs and Session Recording Are Essential for Compliance
Audit logs and session recording aren’t optional anymore. They’re the backbone of compliance. Regulations like SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA demand verifiable proof of who did what, when, and how. Without it, you are one incident away from a breach of policy, a failed audit, or worse, a permanent stain on your organization’s credibility.
Why audit logs matter
Audit logs give you irrefutable evidence. They capture every action inside sensitive systems—logins, commands, configuration changes, database queries. The time, the identity, the context. They answer questions under pressure: Who accessed that file? Who ran that production script? Who changed that setting?
The power of session recording
Session recording goes further. It doesn’t just say what happened. It shows it. Pixel-by-pixel replays of terminal sessions, admin dashboards, or application control panels let you watch events unfold exactly as they did. You see intent. You see mistakes. You see malicious behavior. For compliance teams, this means zero ambiguity. For security teams, this means faster incident response.
Compliance without gaps
Auditors need transparency without the hassle. Legal teams need defensible records. Security teams need live and forensic visibility. Combining detailed audit logs with session recording closes the loop. Even privileged access is no longer a black box—you can prove every action.
