#54: Event Logs: Your Built-In Audit Trail

Description:

The Event Log in PowerDMS isn’t flashy, but when something changes and you don’t know why, it becomes one of the most powerful tools in your entire assessment. In this episode, Areaka explains how the Event Log functions as your built-in audit trail, where to find it, how to filter it properly, and why it protects your credibility when questions come up. Instead of guessing, you can pull the facts — who, what, and when — and move forward with confidence.
