Audits play a critical role in ensuring data integrity, especially in environments where accuracy and accountability are paramount. They serve as a chronological record and provide a transparent way to track all changes to data within a system. An audit trail in HEDDA.IO can help verify the authenticity of data, track the history of changes and establish accountability by recording who made what changes and when.

From an Auditor’s perspective, the audit trail is a safeguard against errors. It allows auditors to reconstruct the events that occurred, which is essential for confirming the reliability of the information.

From a Data Analyst’s perspective, an audit trail is invaluable for maintaining the quality of data analysis. It ensures that all changes to the data set are documented, which helps to understand the context of the analysis.

Knowledge Base Audit

The Audit Portal feature in the HEDDA.IO lets Users see all changes made to the Knowledge Base since it was created. It shows what was modified, what type of component it is (like Domains, Rulebooks, etc.), when the change happened, who made the change, the Knowledge Base version at the time, whether it was added, removed, or changed, and if the change was published or still in draft. Users can filter by specific component types and states, or set a custom date range, making it easy to track and review all updates.
