Logging
PCIComplianceHubLast updated
The act of recording events as they occur in a system, application or network device. Logging is the mechanism; what must be recorded, how those records are protected and how long they are kept are covered under Audit Log / Audit Trail and Log Management. PCI DSS requires logging to be enabled and active on all system components in scope, and treats the disabling or pausing of logging as itself an event that must be logged.
