Audit Trails: Why They Matter for HIPAA

HIPAA audit trails document who accessed or changed protected information—essential for investigations, client requests, and regulator inquiries.

What to log

Authentication events, record views, exports, permission changes, and administrative actions should be captured automatically.

Retention alignment

Keep logs long enough to match your compliance policy—often measured in years, not days.
