What engineering work it implies
Sample acceptance criteria Landfall generates for this obligation:
- Assess necessary evidence for privacy-setting decisions and staff access, using scoped actor/subject references and control outcomes; do not copy personal setting values or accessed content into logs by default.
- Before access-request disclosure, verify authority and produce a subject-scoped export; assess third-party rights, confidential information and secrets before release. An audit-log label does not authorize disclosure of all entries.
- Identify the specific logging purpose, applicable source requirement and necessary events/fields; document when no additional event log is justified.
- Prefer minimized metadata and scoped references; do not collect user IDs, IP addresses, raw payloads or credentials by default. Assess any additional personal data and its legal basis before capture.
- Restrict access and protect integrity; use synthetic tests to verify payload exclusion and authorized review. Pseudonymous references can remain personal data.
