The Audit Log Retention Policy serves as a critical governance document for organizations operating under Dutch jurisdiction, establishing mandatory requirements for the preservation and management of system, security, and operational audit logs. This policy becomes necessary when organizations need to ensure compliance with Dutch and EU regulations, particularly the GDPR (AVG), Dutch Archives Act, and industry-specific requirements. It defines retention periods, security controls, and handling procedures for audit logs, which are essential for maintaining regulatory compliance, supporting incident investigations, and demonstrating proper data governance. The policy addresses various types of audit logs, including system access logs, security event logs, data modification logs, and user activity logs, while ensuring alignment with Dutch legal requirements for business records retention.
