The Audit Log Policy serves as a critical governance document for organizations operating in Malaysia, establishing mandatory requirements for systematic recording and monitoring of system activities, security events, and user actions. This policy is essential for maintaining compliance with Malaysian regulations, particularly the Personal Data Protection Act 2010, Digital Signature Act 1997, and industry-specific requirements. It supports security monitoring, incident response, and forensic investigations while ensuring proper documentation of system changes and user activities. Organizations implement this policy to demonstrate regulatory compliance, maintain security standards, and ensure accountability in their digital operations.
