The Audit Log Retention Policy is essential for organizations operating under English and Welsh jurisdiction to maintain compliance with data protection and security requirements. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to establish standardized procedures for managing audit logs, particularly in regulated industries or when handling sensitive data. The policy addresses requirements from UK GDPR, cybersecurity standards, and industry-specific regulations, providing clear guidelines on how long different types of logs must be retained, how they should be secured, and who can access them.
