Effective October 1, 2024, Frontline Worker (FLW) licenses are available for Microsoft 10-Year Audit Log Retention via SCHNEIDER IT MANAGEMENT as your Cloud Solution Provider (CSP).
10-Year Audit Log Retention
10-Year Audit Log Retention is a paid feature within Microsoft Purview that allows organizations to retain audit logs for up to 10 years for some or all users. By default, Microsoft Purview Audit (Premium) retains audit logs for one year. With the 10-Year Audit Log Retention add-on, you can extend this retention period to 10 years. This extended retention period is particularly useful for meeting regulatory, legal, and internal compliance requirements. It integrates with various Microsoft services, including Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Entra, ensuring comprehensive coverage of audit logs.
Licensing
To use the 10-Year Audit Log Retention, you need to purchase an additional per-user add-on license. This is required even if you have an E5 license. This means, to retain audit logs for 10 years, the user who generates the audit log must also be assigned a 10-Year Audit Log Retention add-on license in addition to an E5 license.
This change introduces new Frontline Worker licenses for this product with core capabilities for frontline workers at a reduced price.
Audit Log Retention Policies
You can create and manage audit log retention policies in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. Navigate to Audit – Audit retention policies. These policies allow you to specify how long to retain audit logs based on various criteria, such as specific activities or users.
