Microsoft C0HL8Z-0001-1Y 10-Year Audit Log Retention Add-On

Extend the retention period for Microsoft 365 audit records to 10 years with Microsoft C0HL8Z-0001-1Y. This annual New Commerce Experience add-on subscription addresses environments where audit evidence must remain available well beyond routine operational review periods. Retained audit records support investigation workflows, security analysis, governance controls, and long-term records requirements. The service fits Microsoft 365 tenants that use auditing to review user and administrator activity over time. Apply the retention capability where longer historical visibility matters, such as regulated business functions, incident-response investigations, or internal reviews that require access to older events. It is a cloud subscription entitlement rather than a physical product or an installed software package. This specific subscription selects a 10-year audit-log retention period and an annual term. Its scope is focused on retaining audit data; it does not add productivity applications, collaboration features, endpoint security, or cloud file storage. Organizations can use it to align audit-data retention with longer governance schedules while keeping the audit function within their Microsoft cloud environment.
