Auditors expect organizations to prove who accessed what data and when. However, most API systems lack user-level traceability. Logs are often inconsistent, scattered across multiple SaaS platforms, and frequently inaccessible to compliance teams. This situation makes proving compliance both expensive and time-consuming.
