Beyond Implementation: Why Audit Logs are Critical for Enterprise AI Governance
The race to implement Gen AI in enterprise environments has surfaced a critical challenge: As organizations scale their AI operations, maintaining visibility and control across the org becomes increasingly complex. Gone are the days when AI implementation was just about getting LLMs to work - today's enterprise AI infrastructure demands robust governance and accountability.
Consider this: In a typical enterprise environment, hundreds of prompts are being modified daily, numerous API keys are being generated, and multiple guardrails are being updated - all by different teams across different time zones. Without proper audit capabilities, scaling AI reliably becomes nearly impossible.
"The ability to track and audit every change in our AI infrastructure wasn't just a nice-to-have - it was a fundamental requirement for us to scale," notes a Principal Architect at a Fortune 50 Financial Services company. "We needed to know who modified what, when, and why."
Today, we're excited to announce Audit Logs in Portkey - a comprehensive system of record for your AI stack. This feature provides complete visibility into:

"Having a detailed audit trail isn't just about compliance," explains a Director of AI Infrastructure at a Fortune 100 Healthcare company. "It's about being able to debug production issues quickly, understand usage patterns, and make data-driven decisions about our AI infrastructure."
