Document background
The Security Logging Policy is a critical internal document designed for organizations operating under Irish jurisdiction that need to establish and maintain comprehensive security logging practices. This policy becomes necessary when organizations need to ensure systematic monitoring of their information systems, compliance with data protection requirements, and effective security incident detection and response. The document incorporates requirements from Irish data protection laws, EU GDPR, NIS Directive, and other relevant regulations, providing detailed guidelines for log collection, storage, retention, and analysis. It is particularly important for organizations handling sensitive data, operating critical infrastructure, or subject to specific regulatory oversight.
