Working with Audit Trail

Introduction

Audit trail is a register of every activity a user did in Nimvio. Thus, every action including creation, modification, and deletion will be recorded so it can inform you on who is the actor, when is the time, and what are the changes made. By having this audit trail, organisations can improve their security and get benefits for different business purposes. Below are some examples:

 Benefit

Description

Information security Identify that something wrong has happened in your project. This can be identified when there is an unexpected user or activity when reviewing the activity history.
Digital forensics Find out who did what and when in your project and be able to prove it. This is crucial especially where lawsuits are involved.
Business analysis When logs are generated and collected properly, they contain all the necessary data for business processes because most business processes take place are reflected from what are done.
