To keep you safe and compliant, we’ve introduced our newest feature - Audit Logs.  

Administrators can now use Audit Logs to see all of the in-app activities of all of their organization's members on a single dedicated page. 

Insight into most of the organization's changes, including but not limited to: tracking settings changes, billing changes, employee additions or deletions, productivity label changes, and more, is now possible thanks to Insigthful’s Audit Logs.

With Insightful, HIPAA Compliance Audits can be Completed Quickly and Efficiently.

Passing a HIPAA compliance audit should be considered a bare minimum in terms of security. The ultimate goal for healthcare organizations should be a secure environment that makes it possible for them to perform a HIPAA compliance audit at any time. In an enterprise organization, this can be a huge and time-consuming task.

As an auditing tool, Insightful generates and stores logs of user activity so that your organization's team can be easily tracked and audited. In addition, a variety of user reports are included in the software for use by administrators at any time.

How Can I Access Audit Logs?

As an administrator, you can access audit logs by heading to Settings, in the left navigation, and then clicking on the Audit Logs card in the lower right corner.
