Audit trails in SharePoint
Create insight and transparency
Challenges with audit trails in SharePoint
In SharePoint, keeping detailed audit trails is challenging. While SharePoint provides basic functionalities for activity logging, it lacks comprehensive and insightful audit capabilities. It is difficult to get a complete overview of who made what changes, when and why, which is especially problematic for organisations facing strict compliance requirements or internal audits. This lack of in-depth audit information can lead to poor compliance with laws and regulations and problems with internal controls.
In addition, SharePoint does not provide an easy way to visualise or export these audit logs for reporting or analysis purposes. This means that much audit information remains cluttered and difficult to access, especially in environments where multiple people are working on the same documents or have access to sensitive information.
Full insight and transparency with SharePoint DMS audit trails
SharePoint DMS makes audit trail tracking easy and completely transparent. The tool provides a detailed overview of every change made to the system, including who made the change, when it took place and what actions were taken. This enables full compliance requirements and provides valuable insights for internal controls and audits.
SharePoint DMS ensures that all actions within the platform are accurately logged, from opening documents to changing access levels and approving workflows. This ensures that there is always a complete trail of activity that can be accessed at any time. Moreover, SharePoint DMS makes it easy to export audit logs and use them for reports or to share with auditors. This ensures maximum transparency and minimises the risk of errors or unauthorised access.
