Final control approach logs retention period?

Logs that capture final control decisions record who was allowed or denied access and when the decision was made. Keeping these logs for a moderate period gives you enough data to reconstruct events for investigations that unfold over days or weeks and to meet routine audits, without accumulating excessive data that raises storage costs and privacy concerns. If you kept them only for a short window, late-arriving information or extended incidents could be missed. If you kept them much longer, you’re paying more for storage and increasing the risk of exposing sensitive details. The balance is to retain for about half a year, which explains why this duration is the best fit for the retention period.
