Audit Trail – Every Action Documented

Complete, tamper-proof logging of all system activities. SHA-256 hash chain, GDPR compliant and exportable at any time.

SHA-256 Hash Chain

Each entry is cryptographically linked to the previous one. Retroactive manipulation is mathematically impossible.

Immutable

Entries cannot be edited or deleted. What has been logged stays logged – protected at the database level.

GDPR Compliant

IP addresses are automatically pseudonymised. When a user is deleted, logs remain anonymised.

Multi-Source

Logs actions from web dashboard and mobile app equally. Each entry shows the source of the action.

CSV Export

Export filtered logs as CSV for reports, audits or external documentation.

Real-Time

Actions are logged instantly – non-blocking, without delaying the actual operation.

Cryptographic Hash Chain

Each audit entry is hashed with SHA-256 – together with the hash of the previous entry. This creates a chain where any retroactive change is immediately detectable.

  • Industry-standard SHA-256 hashing
  • Each entry references the hash of its predecessor
  • Tampering with one entry breaks the entire chain
  • Automatic integrity verification possible
  • First entry starts with genesis hash
