Actions Tracked
Roles Accountable

Give compliance teams the audit logs and access oversight they need.

Track every decision. Prove every step.

Upstat provides a detailed audit trail for every incident—capturing who took action, when it happened, and what changed. From declaration to resolution, every step is time-stamped, role-based, and structured for compliance needs.


Whether you're reviewing for internal governance or prepping for a formal audit, the answers are already documented—no screenshots or memory jogging required.

  • Structured Timelines

    See a chronological breakdown of every incident update and role assignment.

  • Audit-Ready Activity Logs

    View recorded user actions as part of an integrated audit trail (in progress).

  • Role-Based Responsibility

    Ensure legal, security, and operations leads are clearly identified in each response.

  • No Manual Reporting

    Everything is captured automatically—no spreadsheets or follow-up forms required.

Standardize responses with documented runbooks.

Runbooks in Upstat help ensure consistent, repeatable incident response across your organization. Instead of ad hoc decisions or forgotten steps, teams follow documented processes—with compliance and audit-readiness built in.


Link runbooks to specific incident types, reference them in real time, and review them postmortem to confirm procedures were followed.

  • Linked Runbooks

    Attach the appropriate runbook to each incident for fast reference and policy alignment.

  • Centralized Procedures

    Store standardized processes in one place to avoid drift or version mismatches.

  • Built for Review

    Reference runbooks during postmortems to confirm compliance and identify gaps.

  • No Extra Tooling

    Keep response procedures alongside the incidents—not buried in a document system.

Map incidents to systems, vendors, and risk areas.

Upstat's Catalog provides the system-level context that compliance teams need. Link incidents to specific services, environments, or vendors—and see a complete history of what's gone wrong, how often, and who responded.


It's a traceability layer for operational risk, helping you surface patterns, clarify scope, and support structured reporting across audits and frameworks.

  • Service-Linked Incidents

    View all incidents associated with a specific service or system in one place.

  • Traceability at Scale

    Understand downstream impact and surface recurring risks by entity.

  • System-of-Record Visibility

    Use the Catalog as your source of truth for ownership, responsibility, and risk alignment.

  • Supports Compliance Evidence

    Provide clear associations for audit trails across services and incidents.
