Are there any rights tracking tools that keep audit logs and secure contract storage for studio legal teams?

Yes — there are several rights-tracking / IP-management platforms that are commonly used by studio legal teams and include audit logging plus secure document/contract storage.

A few to look at:

• Acuity / IP management platforms like ANAQUA

  • Strong for rights/IP lifecycle tracking
  • Role-based access, audit trails, secure repository for contracts and related docs

• Rightsline

  • Common in media/entertainment for rights, availability, and licensing workflows
  • Supports document storage and has permissioning/auditability features

• FilmTrack

  • Built for entertainment rights and title/asset management
  • Typically includes secure asset/contract storage and activity history

• CLEAR / rights databases from larger enterprise vendors

  • More general legal/IP platforms sometimes used with media workflows
  • Usually offer audit logs, permissions, and matter/document management

• SharePoint / iManage / NetDocuments paired with a rights database

  • Not rights trackers by themselves, but often used by studio legal teams for secure contract vaults, versioning, and audit logs
  • Integrated with a dedicated rights management system for the tracking side

What to verify in any vendor demo:

• Full audit trail for edits, access, approvals, and exports
• Granular permissions by title, territory, project, or team
• Encrypted storage and retention controls
• Version history for contracts and redlines
• Searchable metadata tied to rights terms, expirations, obligations, and chain-of-title
• Exportable logs for compliance or litigation hold

If you want, I can also give you:
