Exporting Audit Data

How to export audit log data as CSV from ToolTrack AI, including what columns are included and how email privacy is handled.

Exporting Audit Data

ToolTrack AI lets you export your audit log as a CSV file for offline analysis, sharing with auditors, or archiving. This is useful when you need to provide evidence during a SOC 2 audit or internal security review.

How to Export

  1. Navigate to the Audit Log page from the sidebar.
  2. Apply any filters you need — date range, event type, or user. The export will include only the events that match your current filters.
  3. Click the Export CSV button in the top-right corner of the page.
  4. Your browser will download a .csv file that you can open in any spreadsheet application.

Columns Included

The exported CSV file contains the following columns:

  • Timestamp — The date and time of the event in ISO 8601 format.
  • Event Type — The category of the action (e.g., tool_created, access_approved).
  • User — The name of the person who performed the action.
  • Email — The email address of the person, masked for privacy (see below).
  • Target — The tool or member that was affected by the action.
  • Details — Additional context about the event.

Email Masking for Privacy

To protect personally identifiable information, email addresses in the CSV export are partially masked. For example, john@company.com becomes j***n@company.com. This ensures you can share audit reports with third-party auditors without exposing full email addresses.

The masking is applied automatically during export. The original email addresses are preserved in ToolTrack AI and are visible to authorized users within the application.

Best Practices

  • Filter before exporting to keep file sizes manageable and focus on the relevant time period.
  • Archive exports after each audit cycle so you have a historical record.
  • Label your files with the date range they cover for easy reference later.
