Generating Audit Reports and Access Reviews

How to create, save, export and schedule access logs & reports with Apono

Intro

With Apono, you can easily create, save, export and schedule access logs reports.

Every access request and every step in the access lifecycle are fully logged, so that you can:

• Submit detailed audit reports to external auditors to satisfy compliance standards

• Automate reports creation as required in your organization: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc.

• Cover the exact scope of reporting required for your organization, for example access to production, access to sensitive repositories or datasets, etc.

• Export audit reports in CSV or PDF form

• To send Apono access logs into other tools in your organization's stack using Webhooks, read this guide.

How it works

Apono logs every access request and every decision and action taken in the access lifecycle.

If you need to generate access logs or audit reports for internal Security or GRC teams & tools or for external auditors, you can use our Reports Page pr Public API:

Using the Reports page

1. In the Apono app, navigate to the Activity Page

2. Click the Reports tab

   1. See saved reports you created previously

3. Create a new report by clicking 'Create Report'

   2. Filter the data you need. You may filter by:
