Logs are a key component of the reporting aspects of 'Observe and Report' and take on several forms. Which of the following are common logs or reports?

• A. Incident reports
• B. Daily activity logs
• C. Access control logs
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Logs provide a written, verifiable record of security activity in Observe and Report. They capture who did what, when, and where, creating a trail that supports accountability and investigation.

Incident reports document significant events that require action, detailing what happened, who was involved, the sequence of events, actions taken, and outcomes. Daily activity logs record routine operations, patrols, observations, and checks, helping supervisors monitor performance and identify patterns over time. Access control logs track entries and exits, badge uses, door events, and related system responses, essential for tracing movements and confirming who had access to protected areas.

Each type serves a different purpose, and together they form a comprehensive set of logs or reports. All of these are common logs or reports.
