Compliance comes down to
one question: Can you prove it?

Across every framework — financial, healthcare, payments, energy, government — an audit asks the same thing: can you show what happened, when, and who did it, without gaps? NXLog Platform collects log data from across your whole estate, keeps it complete, timestamped, tamper-evident, and retained, and puts that evidence within reach when the audit comes. One pipeline, every source, every framework.

Why compliance logging is harder than the checkbox suggests

You answer to more than one framework at once

Most organizations carry several — a hospital meets HIPAA and PCI DSS; a bank meets DORA, PCI DSS, and SOX; a manufacturer meets ISO 27001 and data-integrity rules. Each expects log evidence, and managing that separately for each is where teams lose time.

Coverage gaps fail audits

The systems auditors ask about are often the ones hardest to collect from — Windows-heavy estates, legacy and mainframe systems, OT and network devices that standard agents read poorly or not at all. A silent gap on an in-scope system is a finding.

Retention is not the same as detection

Your SIEM holds a short window of hot data for active search. Audit and forensic reconstruction need a far longer, complete record — kept somewhere it doesn’t cost detection-tier prices.

Evidence has to be trustworthy

A log only counts as evidence if it’s protected from tampering, carries accurate timestamps so event order is reconstructable, and is access-controlled so the wrong people can’t read or alter it.

The Result

Teams assemble evidence by hand at audit time, framework by framework, and still carry blind spots on the systems that are hardest to collect from.

One evidence layer across your whole estate

NXLog Platform is a telemetry pipeline that sits in front of your SIEM and your storage. It collects log data from every system you run, keeps a complete and timestamped record, protects it from tampering, and retains it for as long as your frameworks require — then routes the security-relevant subset to your SIEM and the full record to retained storage.

Because the evidence layer is one pipeline rather than a per-system patchwork, you set retention, time handling, integrity, and access control once and apply them everywhere — and you can produce the complete record for any system and time window on demand. The frameworks differ; the evidence layer doesn’t have to.

What every framework asks for

Built on the requirements frameworks share, not on any single regulation

1

Complete coverage

  • Log every in-scope system — including legacy, Windows-heavy, OT, and network sources standard agents miss.
  • No silent gaps where a vendor agent couldn’t read a source.
2

Retention

  • Keep records for as long as each framework requires, beyond your SIEM’s hot-search window.
  • Full-fidelity history available for forensic and audit reconstruction.
3

Integrity and tamper-evidence

  • Forward logs off the source quickly and protect them from alteration and deletion.
  • Records that hold up as evidence, not just as operational data.
4

Time accuracy

  • Synchronize timestamps to a reliable reference source across the estate.
  • Event order is reconstructable — the foundation of any incident timeline.
5

Controlled access

  • Role-based access control over who can see log data; PII detection and masking where records contain personal data.
  • Meet access and privacy obligations without copying sensitive data where it shouldn’t go.
6

Demonstrability

  • Produce the complete record for any system and time window on request.
  • Turn an audit from a scramble into a query.

Orientation - not legal claims

NXLog Platform helps you meet the logging and audit-evidence requirements within these frameworks. Confirm scope with your compliance team.

Financial services

DORA, NIS2, PCI DSS, SOX, GLBA, NYDFS, FFIEC, SEC, and AML obligations. (DORA’s ICT risk-management RTS sets explicit logging, retention, and clock-synchronization requirements; PCI DSS Requirement 10 governs access logging and audit trails.)

Healthcare and life sciences

HIPAA audit controls (§164.312(b)); and for regulated manufacturing, electronic-records and audit-trail expectations under FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 11, and ALCOA+ data-integrity principles.

Payments and retail

PCI DSS logging, retention, and access-monitoring requirements for cardholder-data environments.

Energy, utilities, and OT

NERC CIP security-event logging for critical infrastructure, and IEC 62443 monitoring expectations for industrial control systems.

Government and defense

Audit and accountability controls under NIST SP 800-53, and the programs built on it (FISMA, FedRAMP, CMMC).

Cross-industry standards

ISO/IEC 27001 logging controls, SOC 2 monitoring criteria, NIST CSF, and GDPR’s security-of-processing and accountability requirements.

The controls behind the requirements

File integrity monitoring (FIM)

Detect changes to critical files.

Tamper-evident forwarding

Move logs off the source and protect the record.

Retention and routing

Keep the full record in low-cost storage.

PII detection and masking

Keep personal data out of places it shouldn’t reach.

Role-based access control (RBAC)

Control who can view and manage log data.

Clock synchronization

Accurate, consistent timestamps across the estate.

Trusted where the audits are hardest

NXLog collects and retains compliance evidence for named organizations across banking, education, government, and managed security services.

Compliance goals met across domestic and international regulations

La Banque Postale

PCI DSS compliance achieved with centralized collection and long-term retention

University of East Anglia

Centralized log collection and compliance reporting across 100+ city agencies

New York City Cyber Command

FIM and end-to-end encryption used to support HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 services for clients
