The audit log events enterprise buyers will actually ask about
Blog post from WorkOS
B2B SaaS teams often learn what should be included in an audit log through challenging experiences like security questionnaires and deal delays, prompting a proactive approach. The text outlines ten critical event categories commonly requested by security reviewers, such as authentication events, MFA actions, session lifecycles, role changes, directory provisioning, and API key management. It emphasizes the importance of logging data exports, impersonation activities, security configuration changes, and non-human activities, as these are critical for security audits and troubleshooting. Retention policies are crucial, with recommendations to store authentication events for about a year and administrative changes for two years, while longer retention is suggested for high-risk categories. Implementing robust audit logging is complex, requiring infrastructure like tamper-evident storage and flexible schemas, and WorkOS Audit Logs is highlighted as a solution that simplifies this process by providing a defined event schema, SDKs, and seamless integration with existing tools, reducing the need for extensive custom development.
