# Observe Access and Activity

Immuta continually monitors your data environment to help answer questions about your most active data users, the most accessed data, and the events happening within your data environment. This understanding can help drive prioritization of where to place access control policies.

## [Introduction](/SaaS/govern/detect-your-data/detect-introduction.md)

This reference guide discusses the benefits of Immuta's audit and how it works.

## [Access summary export](/SaaS/govern/detect-your-data/access-summary-export.md)

The access summary export is a feature that exports files to S3 with access information that you can then use to understand what users have access to and why. The access summary exports all the Immuta metadata relevant to analyzing your user's access.

## [Audit](/SaaS/govern/detect-your-data/audit.md)

Immuta provides robust audit logging on actions within the application and on queries in supported remote technologies. This section includes how-to guides for exporting Immuta audit logs for long-term backup and reference guides that describe Immuta's audit model.

## [Dashboards](/SaaS/govern/detect-your-data/detection.md)

Immuta monitors your data environment and provides analytic dashboards in the Immuta UI based on your data use. This section includes how-to and reference guides about dashboards that offer rich visualizations of audit events and the sensitivity of queries, data sources, and columns.

## [Monitors](/SaaS/govern/detect-your-data/monitors.md)

Monitors allow you to gain awareness of when your users' behavior changes, maintain data availability through data platform policy changes, ensure access patterns remain consistent for your data controls to remain effective, and be notified about anomalies.
