Protecting data, preserving privacy, and complying with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation are certainly some of the highest priorities for your business. It's critical that you audit the entirety of data processing actions taking place to be able to analyze for possible security breaches. This information from Activity Logging can be used when you perform a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) addressing the use of Office, Power Apps, Microsoft Power Automate, and and model-driven apps in Dynamics 365, including Salentica Engage.
