This Audit Log Retention Policy is essential for organizations operating in Denmark that need to maintain comprehensive records of system activities, security events, and data access. The policy is designed to ensure compliance with Danish data protection laws, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and industry-specific requirements while establishing standardized practices for audit log management. Organizations should implement this policy to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements, support security incident investigations, and maintain evidence for audit purposes. The policy becomes particularly crucial when organizations handle sensitive personal data, operate in regulated industries, or need to provide evidence of compliance to authorities.
