Audit Trails

Audit trails are detailed logs that record all actions, changes, and transactions within an AI system or governance framework, including who performed each action, when it occurred, and what was modified. They are essential for enterprise compliance because they provide the evidence needed to demonstrate accountability, detect unauthorized access or changes, and satisfy regulatory requirements like HIPAA, SOX, and GDPR. For AI governance specifically, audit trails help organizations track model versions, data usage, algorithmic decisions, and access controls, enabling them to investigate incidents, identify risks, and prove due diligence during audits or investigations.
