Description: Data auditing is the process of examining data to ensure compliance and accuracy. This process involves the systematic review of stored data and its management, ensuring that established policies and regulations are followed. In an environment where information is a critical asset, data auditing becomes an essential tool for identifying and mitigating risks, as well as improving data quality. Audits can cover various areas, including cloud security, where implemented protection measures are evaluated; data loss prevention, which aims to ensure that information is not lost or compromised; and data governance, which focuses on the responsible management and use of data. Additionally, data auditing is crucial for ensuring data privacy and protection, ensuring compliance with personal data protection regulations. In the context of compliance, it verifies that data handling practices align with relevant regulations. Finally, logging and observability allow for continuous monitoring of data-related activities, facilitating the detection of anomalies and the ongoing improvement of data management processes.
