Learn: AI agent audit trails

Plain-language guides on audit trails for AI agents — SOC 2, compliance-grade logging, and the EU AI Act.

• What is an agent audit trail
  An AI agent audit trail is a tamper-evident record of what an agent did — each tool call and human approval — kept as evidence. Here's what it is and why it matters.
• SOC 2 for AI agents
  Why enterprise security reviews and SOC 2 ask about your AI agent's audit trail, why a debug log usually isn't enough, and what to prepare.
• Debug log vs audit trail
  A side-by-side of an ordinary debug log versus a compliance-grade, append-only, tamper-evident audit trail for AI agents.
• EU AI Act Article 12
  Article 12 requires automatic event logging for high-risk AI systems. What it asks for, the retention rule, and the (deferred) 2 December 2027 timeline — with primary sources.
• Self-serve alternatives
  Enterprise AI-governance platforms are built for large programs. If you just need a self-serve agent audit trail for a SOC 2 review, here's what to look for.
