Audit Trail

EarlyBeta maintains a complete, tamper-evident record of every AI interaction with team collaboration data. When team members use AI to search shared knowledge, summarize project discussions, or retrieve documents, each action is automatically logged with full context—who accessed what, when, and why.

Why Audit Trails Matter for Team Collaboration

Internal collaboration systems often contain sensitive business information: product plans, customer issues, HR discussions, and internal strategy. Comprehensive audit trails serve critical functions:

  • Internal investigations — Trace the sequence of events when investigating policy violations or inappropriate access
  • Security reviews — Provide evidence of access patterns for security and compliance teams
  • Change accountability — Demonstrate who accessed what information when decisions were made
  • Litigation response — Support eDiscovery requests and corporate legal matters

What Gets Logged

Every AI interaction with collaboration data captures:

  • Who — The team member who initiated the query
  • What — The conversations, documents, or knowledge sources accessed
  • When — Precise timestamp of the interaction
  • Context — The project and conversation where access occurred
  • Outcome — Whether the query succeeded and what information was returned

Tamper-Evident Integrity

EarlyBeta uses cryptographic chaining to ensure audit records cannot be altered without detection. Each log entry is mathematically linked to the previous entry, creating an unbroken chain that proves:

  • No entries have been deleted
  • No entries have been modified after the fact
  • No entries have been inserted out of sequence

This integrity verification is essential when presenting audit logs to internal compliance teams, external auditors, or in legal proceedings. You can demonstrate with certainty that the records accurately reflect what occurred.

Long-Term Preservation

When audit logs reach their retention limit, they are archived before deletion. This preserves the ability to verify the integrity chain historically—critical for supporting eDiscovery requests or investigations that may span years.
