Just out of curiosity, how have you seen risk/compliance, regulatory, and audit departments at organizations deal with the disconnect between security and privacy for something like mainframe logging (e.g., JES2, JES3), which is typically inherently governed, and modern distributed logging, which is typically inherently permissive? Both are vastly different approaches, but each is somehow considered 'compliant.' Btw, employees at a company I was at were once investigated for insider trading simply because it was discovered the company used pooled logs that were accessible by production support programmers (the company decided to override the default mainframe security), which was deemed a possible source of insider trading information that could be tapped into by those who had log access (programmers were eventually cleared if it was discovered their small personal trades were immaterial and just coincidental with the company's trading, but the investigation led to uncomfortable confrontations for some!).
