Which action helps create an auditable record of visitors?

• A. Logging entries and exits in the visitor management system.
• B. Failing to record.
• C. Only recording entry times.
• D. Not requiring sign-in.

Answer: (B)

To create an auditable record of visitors, you need to capture a complete, time-stamped log of both when someone enters and when they leave the facility. This creates a continuous timeline that shows not only who was on site but exactly when they were present, which is essential for security investigations, compliance, and occupancy management. If you only record entry times, you won’t know when the person departed, leaving gaps in the history. If you fail to record at all or don’t require sign-in, there’s no reliable record to verify who was allowed in or who was responsible for them, which undermines accountability. So, logging both entries and exits in the visitor management system provides a true trail that can be audited later. It’s also best to include identifying details (name or ID), the host, purpose, and the time, with secure, tamper-evident storage to support any required audits.
