SECURITY MONITORING AND AUDITING
We use the WP Activity Log plugin as a security monitoring and auditing plugin to create a log of data about the ways that our web site is used by those who have login access to it. This information is collected and retained by the web site administrator for, as the name might suggest, security and auditing purposes.
The plugin logs a timestamped record of when a logged-in user takes the following actions:
- Logs in and out;
- Creates, modifies (this including changing the password), deletes a user or views another users’ profile;
The timestamped record includes the following information:
- The user’s login name
- The user’s WordPress role (Author, editor, etc)
- The IP address from which the user accessed the site
- The time and date of each action detailed above while the user was logged in.
The data captured by the WP Activity Log plugin is stored by the website administrator for a period of 1 month solely for security and auditing purposes.
