We're being audited, where to start

Last reviewed Sep 6, 2026

If your organization is facing a formal audit and Launch is in scope, Logs is almost always the right starting point.

A reasonable approach

1. Identify the specific time window and questions the audit is asking about.
2. Filter Logs to that scope by actor, module, action, and date. See Filtering logs by actor, module, action, and date.
3. Export the filtered result as a clean record. See Exporting logs.
4. Use the permission matrix to answer any question about who could or couldn't do a specific action during the period in question.
5. If the audit involves data handling or compliance specifically, see Data retention and deletion requests and Sub-processors and DPAs.

Why Logs holds up to an audit

Because Logs is append-only and every meaningful action is recorded with an attributed actor, action, target, and time, it holds up well to exactly this kind of scrutiny without needing extra reconstruction.
