Question 1

what does 'audit-grade event logging' actually mean in practice?

Accepted Answer

every ai-touched decision logs the inputs, model, prompt version, raw output, reviewer, and timestamp — retained per your data policy. for the regulated financial services firm, the next audit cycle found zero process exceptions because every contract-review suggestion was reproducible from the log.

Question 2

our auditors don't know how to question ai tools — does this help?

Accepted Answer

that's the point. the audit log is built so a regulator (fca, finra, the internal audit team) can ask 'why did the model flag this clause?' and get an answer with the prompt, the model version, the document text it saw, and the human reviewer who signed off. we run a session with your audit team during handover so they know what to ask.

Question 3

what regulations and obligations does this work cover?

Accepted Answer

we build to the obligations relevant to your business: gdpr, eu ai act, fca guidance, hipaa, uk dpa 2018, sector-specific codes. we are not a law firm — the audit log and policy enforcement are written to be actionable by your in-house counsel or compliance lead, not to replace them. for deeper policy work, see the governance and policy design service.
