Compliance & Log Archiving

Meet regulatory retention requirements, stay audit-ready, and keep long-term log storage affordable. This solution suits organisations where compliance and evidence — rather than active threat hunting — are the main driver.

Secure60 implementation process: enable data flow for audit and compliance, enhance the data, then customise

The platform behind this

Log archiving runs on Secure60 Log Management — the same data foundation every other capability uses. If you’re mapping retention to a specific standard, these set out what each one requires:

ISO 27001 A.8.15 Logging — the five log components an auditor expects
PCI DSS Requirement 10 — daily log review and retention
CERT-In 180-day log retention (India) — enable and retain across the whole estate
Security compliance overview — ISO 27001, Essential Eight and PCI DSS

Key features

Regulatory retention

Retain and evidence logs for the frameworks that require it:

ISO 27001 — information security management, including the logging (A.8.15) and monitoring (A.8.16) controls
PCI DSS — cardholder-data log retention and daily review (Requirement 10)
Essential Eight — centralised, retained event logs for ASD maturity assessments
Privacy regimes — the audit-trail and retention obligations under regimes such as GDPR and HIPAA
Custom frameworks — configurable retention windows for industry-specific rules

Long-term retention

Tiered storage — hot, warm and cold tiers keep long retention affordable
Data integrity — cryptographic verification that stored data hasn’t been altered
Automated archival — policy-driven lifecycle management, per log source
Search across archives — query historical data without restoring from cold storage first

Audit capabilities

Complete audit trails — every system activity is logged
Data-access logs — who accessed what data, and when
Configuration history — a full record of platform changes
Export for auditors — package evidence for external review in a few clicks

Compliance reporting

Compliance dashboards — real-time status against your frameworks
Regulatory reports — pre-built reports for common standards
Scheduled delivery — reports sent to stakeholders on a set schedule

Implementation approach

Phase 1 — Data collection. Identify the systems in scope, deploy collectors to capture the required sources, and normalise the data to one schema.

Phase 2 — Retention and archival. Configure retention windows against each compliance requirement, set up tiered storage, apply data-integrity checks, and test retrieval from every tier.

Phase 3 — Reporting and monitoring. Deploy compliance dashboards, schedule the reports your stakeholders need, and alert on exceptions.

Phase 4 — Audit readiness. Document your evidence sources, run internal assessments, and prepare auditor access and export procedures.
