Spanish term or phrase: transacciones fallidas y concretadas
It is in a list of security requirements for the design of software:

Pistas de auditoría sobre transacciones fallidas y concretadas.

The previous items have to do with security requirements for passwords, creation of security logs, etc. Do you think it means "failed or successful transactions"?

... actually on second thoughts: if the software is regarding more logs and passwords etc, instead of credit cards etc, you could replace transactions for 'log-in attempts or simply log-ins (hyphen optional).
