Why does your SaaS application need audit logs?

Audit logs are essential for ensuring compliance with industry regulations, enhancing security, maintaining accountability, troubleshooting, and conducting audits within SaaS applications. These logs are critical for demonstrating compliance with various regulatory frameworks, aiding in forensic investigations for cyber insurance claims, detecting security breaches, and tracing user actions for accountability purposes. They also assist in identifying and diagnosing issues by providing a detailed record of user activities, which is crucial for internal audits and improving security measures. The introduction of the new open-source Audit Logs product by Retraced, developed in collaboration with Replicated, aims to address these needs by offering an embeddable UI that can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure. This product is designed to enhance enterprise readiness alongside other solutions like Enterprise SSO and Directory Sync, providing a comprehensive suite for scaling enterprise offerings. Feedback on this new product is encouraged via their GitHub repository.
