IT and administration
For every audit, I go from tool to tool gathering records of who did what and when
Is this log really complete…
When records are split by tool, every audit means gathering them and putting them into the same format, and checking that nothing is missing is hard too. In Samurai App, work actions such as approvals and settings changes are kept in one audit log.
Gathering records alone eats up all the prep time#
- Export records of actions from each tool's admin console
- Put records in different formats into one table
- Check by eye for gaps or tampering
How it changes with Samurai App#
- STEP 1
Work actions are kept in one audit log
Work actions are kept in an append-only audit log, stored for 2 years in a tamper-evident form.
See Security and admin: audit logs, approvals, SSO - STEP 2
Export as CSV and JSONL
The audit log can be exported as CSV and JSONL, and JSONL can be verified even after it leaves the app.
See Security and admin: audit logs, approvals, SSO - STEP 3
Messages to AI are checked by review too
Turn on conversation review, and messages sent to AI are checked against your policies every day, with findings collected in a list.

An estimate of the time saved#
- Today
- 8 h / month
- With Samurai App
- 1 h / month
- Estimated reduction
- About 88%
That works out to about 84 hours freed up in a year.
Assumptions
8 hours a month gathering and matching records comes to 480 minutes a month. With Samurai App, we assumed 60 minutes a month for exporting and checking.
Records from tools outside Samurai App still need to be gathered as before.
This is a rough figure calculated from assumptions, not a measured result. With different volumes or steps, the result changes too.
What your days look like once it is solved#
No rush before an audit
Records are in one place, so you can produce them on the spot when asked.
Show that the records can be trusted
They are kept in a tamper-evident form, so you can show the records themselves are sound.
Expand AI use on solid grounds
What was done is kept in conversations and the audit log, which gives you a basis for deciding to expand use.
Everyday work comes together, connects, and becomes the company's strength.
