Security

Audit Logging

ViewExport keeps a secure, tamper-proof log of all user activity. Always know who did what, and when.

Audit Logging Overview

What We Audit

Comprehensive audit logs to ensure security, compliance, and transparency.

Administrative Settings

Track configuration changes across workspaces — including user role updates, permissions adjustments, export activity, and saved searches. IT teams gain a clear record of who made changes and when.

Data & File Operations

Log every sensitive action: from viewing message threads to exporting files. Legal and compliance teams can trace access to specific content down to the timestamp and user.

Authentication & Access

See who logged in, from where, and how often — with IP-level detail and session history. Monitor usage trends, flag suspicious activity, and demonstrate access controls during audits.

User Access Activity

Authentication & Access Logging

Every user authentication event is logged with timestamp, IP address, and browser information. Failed login attempts and permission denials are also monitored for potential unauthorized attempts to access the platform, or resources a user doesn't have permission for.

Ensures system actions are logged and traceable
Reliable paper trail when investigating user activity
Data & File Activity

Data Operations Logging

Keep track of when exports, uploads, and configurations were created, viewed, downloaded, or updated. Know if anything is ever deleted without permission, with before/after changes audit-ready.

Support defensibility for internal investigations
Preserve metadata and chain of custody.
Admin Activity

Administrative Action Logging

Full dashboard showing what sensitive data and administrative interfaces were accessed and when. Instantly see who saw sensitive messages or admin settings — all traceable by user, timestamp, IP, and action.

Every review, search, or export action is logged and stored
Security to meet your internal policy and regulatory standards
Enterprise Audit Readiness

Information Captured

For every audited event, we record:

User identity and account action context
What
Specific action performed and affected resources
When
Precise timestamp including timezone
Where
IP address and geographic location (when available)
How

Result
Success or failure status plus any included error information
Product Overview

The Slack export viewer built for review and audit.

Legal and IT teams hit walls fast: no way to filter by date range, no way to search across DMs or private channels without triggering "joined channel" alerts, and no way to make sense of raw JSON files without hours of manual effort.

Native Slack tools don’t support scoped date searches

Filtering Slack messages by date range isn’t possible natively—making legal holds, audit prep, and early case assessment slow and error-prone.

Accessing private channels in Slack notifies users — not ideal for audits

Joining private channels triggers alerts and raises red flags in sensitive HR, compliance, or internal investigations.

Slack exports come in raw JSON, unreadable without technical help

Parsing Slack’s JSON exports eats up billable hours and internal IT time before legal review even begins.

Security

Enterprise-Grade Security, Built for Legal Workflows

ViewExport is designed with strict security, access controls, and audit trails to meet your legal, IT, and compliance standards.

Immuntability

Audit logs are locked by default and cannot be altered or removed by any user — including administrators. This preserves a tamper-proof record of activity for legal defensibility and regulatory assurance.

Retention

All audit logs are automatically retained for a minimum of 12 months, in line with common legal and regulatory requirements. Optional custom retention settings allow longer storage where needed.

Access Control

Only designated administrators with the correct roles and permissions can view or query audit logs. This reduces exposure risk and aligns with internal access control policies and compliance frameworks.

Encryption

Audit logs are encrypted at rest using industry-standard protocols. This ensures that sensitive access data remains secure, even in the unlikely event of a system compromise.

Sensitive Data Protection

Passwords, access tokens, and API keys are automatically filtered and excluded from all logs, preventing accidental logging of high-risk secrets, and protecting both internal systems and user privacy.

Compliance Support

Audit logging is structured to support your GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA compliance efforts. Combined with access control and retention policies, we help your audit-readiness out of the box.

Testimonials

Trusted by operational executives around the world.

We listen closely to our customers, thrive on feedback, and build with you in mind.

"Glad for ViewExport - in Slack you can't filter by date range. Annoying and not usable for Legal/eDiscovery. And Onna is way too expensive."
"Handling DSARs is a massive pain point for me with GDPR compliance. We've been working around this problem for 6+ years, across multiple companies."
"I'm the Slack admin of my company and I'm tired of searching through the json files for messages for HR investigations. Now I can share the relevant export with them in a few clicks."
