Integritetsauditspor, often translated as integrity audit trail or integrity log, refers to a chronological record of activities and changes related to the integrity of data or systems. Its primary purpose is to ensure that data has not been tampered with, altered, or deleted without authorization. This is crucial for maintaining the trustworthiness and reliability of information.

An integrity audit trail typically captures details such as who performed an action, what action was performed, when it was performed, and on which data or system component. This information allows for the reconstruction of events and the detection of any unauthorized modifications. Common examples of events logged include file modifications, access attempts, permission changes, and system configuration updates.

The implementation of integrity audit trails is a key component of information security and compliance frameworks. It provides a mechanism for accountability and supports investigations into security incidents. By regularly reviewing these audit trails, organizations can identify potential vulnerabilities, detect breaches, and ensure that their systems and data remain in their intended state. The effectiveness of an integrity audit trail relies on its immutability, meaning it cannot be altered or deleted by users, thus preserving its integrity.
