This Audit Logging Policy is designed to establish standardized procedures and requirements for system logging and monitoring within organizations operating under Belgian jurisdiction. The policy addresses the need for systematic recording and monitoring of system activities while ensuring compliance with Belgian data protection laws, EU GDPR, and industry-specific regulations. It is particularly crucial for organizations that need to maintain comprehensive audit trails for compliance, security, or operational purposes. The policy takes into account specific Belgian legal requirements for data retention, privacy protection, and electronic evidence admissibility, while providing a framework for implementing and maintaining effective audit logging practices.
