Author Guidance on auditing all data changes

Our client has governmental requirements for maintaining a historical record
of all updates they make to their site (both catalog and marketing
information). Our client needs to be able to make updates to their
production environment several times a day. They will be making updates in a
staging area and then moving updates to production (probably using an
incremental export/import). Has anyone attempted to implement a historical
auditing system in CS and if so, what approach did you take? MSFT has
suggested making a backup of the CS database(s), but that does not seem like
a scalable option when updates are being made several times a day.

The catalog system in Commerce Server does not provide inbuilt support for
auditing.
I am not sure of other customers who have implemented or required auditing.
One thing you might be able to do is implement auditing by seeting triggers
on catalog tables and push the changed data to audit tables

Thanks
