Export Logs to Long-Term Storage for Zero Trust Compliance

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

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

How LOG-02 Addresses Zero Trust Requirements

Zero Trust 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 Zero Trust compliance by ensuring proper logging security in your Microsoft 365 environment.

Implementation for Compliance

To satisfy Zero Trust 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 Zero Trust 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 Zero Trust

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 Zero Trust compliance. Combined with TrueConfig's continuous monitoring, you can demonstrate ongoing adherence to Zero Trust requirements.
