## Archive and audit security action items

Apr 20, 2026 

[ Security Overview ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/security/overview/) 

#### Archive and audit security action items

Introducing enhanced archiving capabilities for security action items within the Security Overview dashboard. This update allows security teams to maintain a cleaner workspace by removing resolved, accepted, or irrelevant items from their active list while maintaining a clear paper trail for compliance.

---

#### Why this matters

Managing a high volume of security insights can be overwhelming. Previously, users lacked a structured way to dismiss items without losing the context of why they were ignored.

With these new archiving options—**False Positive**, **Accept Risk**, and **Other**—you can now suppress items indefinitely with required rationale text for risk-based decisions. This ensures that your team remains focused on critical, actionable vulnerabilities while preserving institutional knowledge for audits.

#### Key features

* **Structured Archiving:** Choose from specific categories to define why an action item is being moved.
* **Required Rationale:** For "Accept Risk" and "Other" categories, users must provide documentation, ensuring accountability for security decisions.
* **Audit Log Transparency:** New API endpoints allow you to programmatically retrieve the history of status changes and rationale for any insight at the account or zone level.
* **Reversible Actions:** Any archived item can be moved back to the active list at any time if the security context changes.

Note

Archiving a suspicious activity item will remove it from the Security Overview page, but the activity will remain visible in your Security Analytics dashboard for deeper forensic analysis.

#### Example: Retrieve audit logs via API

To review the history and rationale of a specific archived issue at the account level, you can use the following API command:

Terminal window

```
curl "[https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/](https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/){account_id}/insights/{insight_id}/audit-log" \     -H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \     -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```
