Re: ISSUE-235 (Auditability requirement for security)

For those who don’t feel like visiting the wiki, Walter has proposed to retain the auditability requirement, and to clarify with the following language:

In this context auditable is typically understood that there are sufficient records available of access and use of data retained that a third-party auditor would have a reasonable level of confidence that the data retained is exclusively used for the permitted uses or that  breaches of this can be detected ex-post. A good yardstick of the level of confidence would be a similar level of confidence required for the organisation's financial records.

I don’t have any great insight into the manner in which companies typically document their access and use of tracking databases, but I’d welcome opinions on whether this would represent a marginal burden to companies.
