npx skills add https://github.com/datadog-labs/agent-skills --skill dd-audit-compliance-report
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads dd-audit-compliance-report automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Audit Trail: Compliance Evidence Report

Generate auditor-ready evidence from Datadog Audit Trail for SOC 2 and PCI DSS control requirements.

Prerequisites

pup auth login   # OAuth2 (recommended)
# or set DD_API_KEY + DD_APP_KEY with audit_logs_read scope

Read First

See references/control-mapping.md for the full control → query mapping table and retention requirements by framework.

Retention Check (Run First)

PCI requires 12 months. Datadog default retention is 90 days. Check whether archive is configured:

pup audit-logs search --query "@evt.name:\"Audit Trail\" @action:modified" --from 90d -o json \
  | jq '[.data[] | {
      timestamp: .attributes.timestamp,
      user: .attributes.attributes.usr.email,
      action: .attributes.attributes.action,
      resource: .attributes.attributes.asset.type
    }]'

If the requested time window exceeds 90 days and no archive is confirmed, surface this gap in the report header.

Workflow

  1. Confirm: framework (SOC 2 / PCI DSS), time window, org scope
  2. Run retention check
  3. Run each relevant control query
  4. Format output using the Evidence Report template

SOC 2 Queries

PCI DSS Queries

PCI 10.2.2 — Actions by Privileged Users

    }]'

    }]'

PCI 10.2.7 — Object Creation and Deletion

pup audit-logs search \
  --query "@action:(created OR deleted)" \
  --from PERIOD_START --to PERIOD_END --limit 1000 -o json \
  | jq '[.data[] | {
      timestamp: .attributes.timestamp,
      user: .attributes.attributes.usr.email,
      action: .attributes.attributes.action,
      resource_type: .attributes.attributes.asset.type,

## Scope Boundary
This report covers administrative actions within the Datadog platform.
It does not cover actions taken within systems that Datadog monitors.

## Retention Status
[✓ Full period covered by Audit Trail retention]
[⚠ Requested period exceeds 90-day default. Archive config required for complete coverage.]

Scope Caveat

Datadog Audit Trail covers the Datadog platform as the system being audited. For PCI purposes, this is evidence that the monitoring platform's access controls are functioning — not direct evidence about the cardholder data environment (CDE) itself. Auditors should understand this scope boundary.

Use this for any content that positions your product against competitors. Covers four formats: singular alternative, plural alternatives, you vs competitor, and competitor vs competitor.
