ATO Digital Service Provider (DSP) Operational Security Framework SEC.AUDIT: Audit logging of user access and actions, kept 12 months

Mandatory for categories A to D (optional consideration for E): software products implement audit logging that makes user access and actions traceable, for detecting anomalies and investigating incidents. Logs cover access and events including changes to privileges, permissions and authorisations; privileged users are identifiable; shared or generic logins are not allowed so every user and session or event is uniquely identifiable; logs are kept at least 12 months and not deleted within that period, and relevant logs are supplied to the ATO after a security incident. Evidence is sample or real logs (redacted) showing authentication and authorisation, date and time, unique user identifier, success or failure, event description and ICT equipment location and identification, with confirmation of 12-month retention; an audit log policy may cover the inclusions.
