Cos'è questo artefatto (e quando vi serve)
Spiegazione essenziale minima, scritta per gli audit, non per la teoria.
This template records what constitutes an audit event, where the event is stored, when its retention clock starts, how long it remains available, and which approved requirement supports that period.
It also covers legal holds, verified deletion, vendor-managed copies, integrity checks, access boundaries, and the evidence retained after each control runs.
Vi serve quando
- You operate AI systems whose decisions, approvals, tool calls, or data access must remain reviewable.
- You are standardizing retention periods across agents, Processes, storage systems, and vendors.
- You are preparing an EU AI Act, privacy, security, procurement, or internal audit review.
Common failure mode
Logs exist across several systems, while the organization has no approved event taxonomy, clock trigger, documented basis, legal hold procedure, deletion evidence, or independently verifiable export.
Com'è fatto un buon risultato
Criteri di accettazione che i revisori verificano effettivamente.
- The event taxonomy covers decisions, approvals, tool calls, data access, configuration changes, and administrative actions.
- Every schedule row names its clock trigger, period, basis, system owner, and next review date.
- Legal holds suspend scheduled deletion for a defined scope and retain approval and release evidence.
- Deletion is monitored, failures are remediated, and each completed run produces an auditable report.
- Integrity verification is documented and retained with the policy evidence.
- Access control separates viewing, exporting, retention administration, and break-glass activity.
- Vendor-managed records follow equivalent retention, hold, disposal, and export requirements.
- Exports include a manifest, checksums, relevant records, and independent verification instructions.
Anteprima del template
Un estratto reale in HTML così è indicizzabile e revisionabile.
## 5) Retention register For every event class, record: - Retention trigger and approved period - Legal, regulatory, contractual, or operational basis - Personal data fields and minimization controls - Legal hold behavior and deletion method - Evidence retained after disposal ## 10) Legal holds - Hold authority and required approvers - Scope identification method - Release approval and disposal window - Evidence: notice, actions, release, and disposal report
Come compilarlo (rapidamente)
Input necessari, tempo di completamento e un esempio pratico in miniatura.
Input necessari
- A system and event inventory, including downstream and vendor-managed copies.
- Applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, privacy, and records-management requirements.
- Retention clock triggers, legal hold needs, and approved disposal methods.
- Integrity controls, verification cadence, and failure escalation procedures.
- Roles allowed to view, export, place holds, administer retention, and approve exceptions.
Tempo di completamento: 30–60 minutes for an initial draft, followed by owner review.
Mini example: retention register
Event class: Decision and approval records Clock starts: Decision closure Period: 7 years (illustrative) Basis: [insert exact requirement or approved purpose] Hold behavior: Suspend deletion for matching case IDs Disposal proof: Approved report + exception list
Come KLA lo trasforma in evidenza governata
Collegate l'artefatto alle primitive di prodotto per favorire la conversione.
Govern
- Policy-as-code checkpoints that block or require review for high-risk actions.
- Versioned change control for model/prompt/policy/Process updates.
Assure
- Risk-tiered sampling reviews (baseline + burst during incidents or after changes).
- Near-miss tracking (blocked / nearly blocked steps) as a measurable control signal.
Prove
- Configurable retention schedules, integrity verification, and an append-only Audit Trail.
- Evidence Room export bundles (manifest + checksums) so auditors can verify independently.
