Introduction

AUDITZ is the centralized audit log and audit-trail layer within PLTFRMS.

It provides a single, secure system for collecting, storing, and verifying audit events across all services — ensuring integrity, traceability, and consistency without requiring each service to maintain its own audit trail.

What is AUDITZ?

AUDITZ enables you to:

Capture audit events from distributed services
Ingest events through topic-based streams
Store audit data in a centralized and consistent format
Ensure data integrity and tamper resistance
Provide queryable and verifiable audit history
Support internal, external, and customer-driven audits

All audit events flow into AUDITZ, where they are securely processed and stored as a trusted source of truth.

Why AUDITZ exists

In traditional architectures, each service is responsible for its own audit trail. This leads to:

Fragmented and inconsistent audit data
Difficulties in ensuring data integrity
High implementation overhead per service
Increased risk of missing or altered audit records

AUDITZ solves this by centralizing audit responsibility into a single platform, ensuring that audit data is handled consistently and securely across the entire system.

Built for security & integrity

AUDITZ is designed with a strong focus on auditability and data protection.

It includes internal mechanisms to ensure:

Audit events cannot be silently modified or removed
All events are traceable back to their origin
Data integrity is preserved across ingestion and storage
Audit logs remain verifiable over time

This makes AUDITZ suitable for environments where trust, compliance, and accountability are critical.

Audit types

AUDITZ supports multiple audit scopes:

Internal audits — system monitoring and operational insights
External audits — compliance and regulatory verification
Customer-requested audits — on-demand transparency for customers and partners

Event-driven architecture

AUDITZ is built around an event-driven model.

Audit events are:

Published by services via topics
Ingested in real-time by AUDITZ
Processed and stored centrally
Made available for querying and audit workflows

This ensures a scalable and decoupled architecture that integrates easily into existing systems.

Part of the PLTFRMS ecosystem

AUDITZ integrates seamlessly with other PLTFRMS products, such as:

IAM for identity and access context
Event systems for real-time processing
CMPNY for administrative and operational workflows
PYMNT for financial audit trails and transactions

This enables end-to-end traceability across both technical and business domains.

Where to start

To start using AUDITZ:

Define which services emit audit events
Connect event streams to AUDITZ topics
Configure ingestion and storage policies
Explore audit querying and verification tools

From there, AUDITZ becomes the central source of truth for all audit activity across your platform.
