Document background
This Audit Log Retention Policy is essential for organizations operating in the Philippines to establish standardized practices for managing and retaining audit logs in accordance with local regulations. The policy becomes necessary when organizations need to systematically track and maintain records of system activities, user actions, and security events while ensuring compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and the Electronic Commerce Act. It addresses the growing importance of maintaining accurate audit trails for security, compliance, and operational purposes, particularly in an increasingly digital business environment. The document outlines retention periods, security measures, and handling procedures that align with Philippine regulatory requirements while supporting business operations and risk management objectives.
