Data Security Center:Billing for related products

Last Updated:Dec 31, 2025

When you connect data assets to Data Security Center (DSC), the account that owns the asset is charged for data reads and audit log storage. These charges apply to assets that belong to your main Alibaba Cloud account and any member accounts managed by DSC. This topic describes the fees for each type of data asset.

The billing logic is the same for both main Alibaba Cloud accounts and member accounts. The following table describes the billing details.

Asset Type

Data identification

Data audit

RDS

The account that owns the asset does not incur additional fees.

As of April 17, 2024, no additional fees are charged for enabling native log collection for RDS instances in the account.

If native log collection was enabled before April 17, 2024, the account that owns the asset must pay for SQL Explorer and Audit and for log storage. You can disable the native log collection mode for the asset and then re-enable it. After you re-enable it, the account that owns the asset no longer incurs additional fees.

Note

Before April 17, 2024: Fees for asset-owning accounts:

  • SQL Explorer and Audit: After native log collection is enabled for an RDS database, DSC automatically enables the SQL Explorer feature for the database. The account that owns the asset is charged for SQL Explorer. The fees are billed and collected by RDS. For more information, see Billable items.

  • Log storage fees: The SQL Explorer feature creates a Simple Log Service (SLS) Logstore to store the raw logs from the RDS SQL Explorer service. By default, data in this Logstore is stored for 3 days. The account that owns the asset is charged for this storage. The fees are billed and collected by SLS. For more information, see Billing overview.

OSS

  • To identify an OSS file, DSC sends one or two GET requests. The cost of these requests is charged to the account that owns the asset based on its billing method. For example, if an account uses the pay-as-you-go billing method, these costs appear in the pay-as-you-go orders for OSS for that account. For more information, see Billing overview.

  • If you enable synchronization of sensitive data tags to OSS in DSC, OSS charges request fees based on the number of API calls. For example, synchronizing tags to OSS involves Put requests to add or modify tags, and charges are based on the number of Put requests. For more information, see Request fees.

After you enable native log collection for an OSS asset, a project named oss-log-UID of the account that owns the asset-Region ID is created in the SLS console. The Logstore in this project is named oss-log-store. By default, data in this Logstore is stored for 7 days.

  • No fees are incurred if the data in the Logstore is stored for no more than 7 days and does not exceed 900 GB.
