Editorial verdict

Choose WorkOS Audit Logs when a B2B product needs a deliberate customer-facing audit trail and the team will define a stable event taxonomy and verify retention, export, and streaming terms.12

Best for

  • Organization-scoped B2B audit trails
  • Customer exports and SIEM delivery
  • Teams prepared to own a stable audit-event schema
12

Not ideal for

  • General application debugging or infrastructure logs
  • Teams expecting the provider to infer complete audit events
  • Requirements for independently verified immutability or retention not covered by contract
12
Main trade-off

A managed tenant-facing audit product reduces storage and export implementation while coupling event schema, retention, streaming, access, and migration to WorkOS.12

Product boundary

Whether to build an application-owned audit trail on WorkOS rather than treat operational logs as a customer-facing audit record.

WorkOS Audit Logs is separate from AuthKit, SSO, Directory Sync, and the generic WorkOS platform. It stores application-emitted audit events; the application still owns event completeness, actor semantics, authorization, integrity at emission, and sensitive-data minimization.12

For: B2B software teams adding tenant-scoped audit events, exports, and optional SIEM delivery to their product

  • The product needs tamper-evidence or retention guarantees beyond current terms.
  • Customers require an unsupported SIEM destination or export path.
  • Operational logs rather than a tenant-facing audit trail are the actual need.

Why teams consider WorkOS Audit Logs

  • Audit event modelEvents include actor, action, targets, context, and organization scope.12
  • Customer accessExports and dashboard access support customer audit workflows.12
  • SIEM pathLog streaming can deliver events to supported destinations under separate commercial terms.12

Datadog

Choose when
Audit events must join a broader enterprise logging and security-operations platform.
