How to Review Whether Business Systems Retain Logs Long Enough

Log retention that is too short can prevent investigations, while excessive retention can create storage and privacy risks.

Checks to make

Identify systems and log types needed for operations, security, and obligations. Record retention, access, and deletion owners; verify settings in the source systems; and test that logs remain available for the intended period.
