Administrator's Guide
Generating reports

A key security feature of Covata technology is the ability to audit all actions taken by users in the creation and dissemination of Secure Objects. When data is leaked from an organization as a Secure Object, then an auditor must have a tool to identify the person responsible.

The Reports page allows Administrators to access a detailed audit log. Reports can be run on the following:

  • Keys created and retrieved for objects
  • Secure Objects created and retrieved
  • Secure Objects updated
  • Notifications created and retrieved

Although this feature is intended mainly for API Clients, who will develop their own applications using Covata technology, it can be used by all Administrators.
