Datadog Audit Trail provides granular, centralized records of user and API activity throughout the Datadog platform, allowing teams to maintain compliance, enforce governance, and build transparency. It enables stakeholders in leadership roles to spot gaps in enablement, budgeting, and reporting, as well as build a modern compliance strategy for their organization. Administrators and security analysts can use Audit Trail to ensure operational workflows stay intact and follow up on incidents. The tool provides end-to-end visibility into user actions, helping organizations meet crucial privacy and reporting standards like HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP, and CCPA. It also allows users to visualize day-to-day user activity, set up alerts on system events, and identify malicious users in the case of a security breach. By using Audit Trail alongside Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and Sensitive Data Scanner, organizations can proactively manage access and retrospectively investigate and diagnose security issues that affect compliance. The tool enables teams to ensure Datadog platform governance across teams, investigate and diagnose issues caused by configuration changes, and increase transparency using context-rich insights.
