Export Logs to Long-Term Storage for ISO 27001 Compliance

Learn how LOG-02 helps you meet ISO 27001 requirements for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID security.

ISO 27001 compliance requires implementing specific controls around export logs to long-term storage. This page explains how TrueConfig's LOG-02 control helps you meet ISO 27001 requirements in your Microsoft 365 environment.

How LOG-02 Addresses ISO 27001 Requirements

ISO 27001 requires organizations to implement controls around export logs to long-term storage. The LOG-02 control provides:

  • Audit logs are exported to Log Analytics workspace or external SIEM
  • Retention is configured for at least 1 year
  • Sign-in logs and audit logs are both included

These measures directly support ISO 27001 compliance by ensuring proper logging security in your Microsoft 365 environment.

Implementation for Compliance

To satisfy ISO 27001 requirements with this control:

  • **Enable the control** - Follow the manual configuration steps
  • **Document your implementation** - Record how the control was configured
  • **Maintain evidence** - TrueConfig automatically logs compliance status
  • **Monitor continuously** - Track any deviations from the expected state

Evidence Collection

For ISO 27001 audits, you'll need to demonstrate:

  • Current configuration state
  • Historical compliance data
  • Remediation actions taken
  • Continuous monitoring in place

TrueConfig provides all of this evidence through its audit trail and reporting features.

Why This Control Matters for ISO 27001

Default Entra log retention is 30-90 days. APT attacks often go undetected for months. Long-term retention enables forensic investigation of compromises that happened weeks or months ago.

Implementing LOG-02 is an important step toward ISO 27001 compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to ISO 27001 requirements.
