What type of logs does Sophos maintain to assist with compliance?

Sophos maintains audit logs as part of its compliance features to ensure that organizations can meet regulatory requirements and internal policies. Audit logs provide a comprehensive record of system activities, including changes made to configurations, user access and actions, and security events. This logging is crucial for compliance with various standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. These logs allow organizations to demonstrate accountability and traceability in their operations, which is essential for regulatory scrutiny and for monitoring any unauthorized or suspicious activities.

The focus of audit logs is specifically on tracking events that could impact system integrity and compliance posture, rather than on user activities alone, software installations, or system configurations, which do not provide the same level of detail regarding compliance-related actions.
