Document background
The Security Logging Policy serves as a critical internal governance document for organizations operating in Malaysia, establishing standardized procedures for the collection, management, and analysis of security logs across all systems and applications. This policy is essential for maintaining compliance with Malaysian regulations, particularly the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 and Computer Crimes Act 1997, while ensuring effective security monitoring and incident detection. Organizations should implement this policy to establish clear guidelines for log management, define responsibilities, and ensure consistent logging practices that support both security operations and regulatory compliance requirements. The policy addresses the technical aspects of logging, retention requirements, access controls, and review procedures, making it a fundamental component of an organization's security and compliance framework.
