When your data security administrators review DLP incidents to review
sensitive data snippets,
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) now generates an
audit log to provide complete visibility
into who accessed this information and when. This enables compliance monitoring and
to adhere to data governance requirements when performing an audit.
Audit Logging for Snippet Access captures essential details including user
identity, access timestamps, and the specific incident ID accessed. The audit logs
exclude the actual snippet accessed to maintain data security while providing the
accountability trail you need for compliance reporting.
Audit Logging for Snippet Access satisfies regulatory requirements that
mandate tracking access to sensitive information. It demonstrates to auditors that
your organization maintains proper data governance controls, and can detect unusual
access patterns that might indicate insider threats or compromised accounts. The
audit log generation occurs transparently without impacting your incident response
workflow or requiring additional steps from your security analysts.
Organizations operating under strict compliance frameworks particularly
benefit from this feature as it transforms incident response activities from
potential compliance liabilities into documented evidence of responsible data
handling. Your data security administrators gain the ability to produce detailed
access reports for compliance audits, investigate potential data breaches involving
snippet access, and establish clear accountability for sensitive data exposure
during incident investigations. The automated nature of the logging ensures
consistent record-keeping without relying on manual processes that are prone to gaps
or errors in high-pressure incident response scenarios.
