Segregation of Duties

Preventive. Mitigating. Continuous.

Stop toxic access combinations in ERP and SaaS before they turn into fraud, misstatements, or ITGC audit failures.

SafePaaS centralizes Segregation of Duties enforcement across ERP, SaaS, and cloud so you can block high‑risk access, reduce unauthorized changes in production systems, and produce audit‑ready evidence on demand—without slowing projects or over‑controlling low‑risk activities.

All conflicts. Any application. Any ERP.

Proven impact for SafePaaS customers

95%+

More accurate identification of SoD control violations in ERP and SaaS environments

78%

Resolve role conflicts up to 78% faster with automated access analysis and access change workflows

68%

Reduce fraud, waste, and abuse exposure by up to 68% through preventive SoD controls and continuous monitoring

Global manufacturer eliminated 80% of toxic SoD conflicts in 90 days by automating access analysis and remediation workflows—cutting quarterly user review effort nearly in half.

Why Segregation of Duties is Critical

Static roles, disconnected tools, and manual SoD reviews leave excessive, toxic, and dormant access across financials, procurement, and order‑to‑cash workflows—creating direct paths to financial misstatement, fraud, and audit findings.

Without cross‑system visibility, conflicting access (for example, create vendor + pay vendor, post journal + approve journal, or maintain purchase orders + receive goods) slips through approvals, and audit‑critical gaps only appear after incidents or findings.

What SafePaaS changes

Adds a centralized Segregation of Duties control layer that standardizes policies, enforcement, and evidence across ERP, SaaS, and cloud
Identifies and addresses SoD risks continuously—before they become fraud, misstatements, or reportable weaknesses

If your current approach can’t show, on a single screen, all high‑risk SoD conflicts across ERP and SaaS, including owners and remediation status, you are accepting unnecessary financial and audit risk.

How SafePaaS enforces Segregation of Duties and delivers outcomes

01

Automated, policy‑based controls

Configurable SoD rulebooks define, customize, and update Segregation of Duties policies and rules that govern user access and toxic action combinations in finance, supply chain, HR, and IT
Enforce preventive controls at provisioning and during access changes, blocking conflicting access before it is granted
Align with your ERP security model, capturing user‑role assignments and security objects as they exist today for a complete, audit‑ready analysis

02

Real‑time detection and blocking

Continuous control monitoring detects SoD violations in near real time instead of months later during quarterly reviews
High‑risk access attempts are automatically stopped or routed through corrective workflows, so exceptions are documented, approved, and time‑bound
Without this level of continuous monitoring, approvals are inconsistent, evidence is scattered across emails and spreadsheets, and high‑risk access goes unchecked between reviews.

03

Cross‑system toxic combination analytics

Correlates access and activity across ERP, SaaS, cloud, and identity platforms to detect toxic combinations that span systems
Closes blind spots where no one can see who has end‑to‑end control over critical processes, ensuring consistent enforcement wherever business workflows run

04

Role simulation and what‑if analysis

Simulate new roles, job changes, and project access before deployment to avoid building SoD conflicts into your security design
Use scoping and filters to focus testing on high‑risk identities, roles, and processes instead of low‑value noise
Support role design and periodic reviews to build conflict‑free roles and prevent inherent SoD issues from the start

05

Context, compensating controls, and fewer false positives

Factor in transaction patterns, user context, ERP‑specific nuances, and compensating controls to distinguish real exposure from theoretical risk
Reduce false positives and focus effort on SoD issues that truly matter to financial statements and regulatory scope
Use granular configuration and advanced filtering to tune policies to your ERP landscape and cut wasted time on non‑issues

06

Automated remediation, certification, and evidence

Manage detection, mitigation, remediation, and certification with end‑to‑end workflows that business owners can execute without relying on spreadsheets
Automate access reviews, remediation tasks, and lookback analysis to generate clear, exportable evidence for SOX and other regulations

What makes SafePaaS unique?

Continuous ITGC/ITAC control consistently delivers value across four core drivers: risk reduction, audit assurance, operational efficiency, and transformation enablement.

1

Weeks to SoD coverage, not quarters

SafePaaS connects natively to leading ERPs and key SaaS applications, accelerates SoD rulebook configuration, and delivers first cross‑system SoD coverage in weeks—not the multi‑quarter projects typical of legacy tools.

2

Single SoD policy model across ERP and SaaS

A single, centralized policy and rulebook governs SoD across multiple ERPs, line‑of‑business apps, and identity platforms, so you do not manage conflicting rules in separate tools that auditors cannot reconcile.

3

Depth in ERP and business processes

SafePaaS goes beyond coarse‑grained roles to analyze security objects, menu paths, and transaction codes, mapping SoD risks directly to the finance, procurement, and order‑to‑cash steps auditors care about.

4

Right‑sized controls with compensating options

You can enforce strict preventive controls where required and apply documented, monitored compensating controls where business agility demands temporary elevated access—avoiding “no‑go” SoD decisions that block projects.

5

Business‑owned, adjustable workflows

Access remediation, certifications, and exception approvals run in no‑code workflows that risk and business owners can adjust without waiting on IT tickets.

6

Embedded proof, not just reports

Audit‑ready evidence—access review results, SoD violation histories, mitigation status, and lookback analysis—is available on demand and tied directly to the underlying configurations and transactions, reducing time spent preparing for audits.

Driver-to-capability overview

Pain points	Problems solved by SafePaaS
Security and risk	Excessive, toxic, dormant, and unmanaged access across critical systems increases the likelihood of unauthorized payments, journal entries, and configuration changes that lead to fraud, error, and insider-threat incidents.
Operational drag	Manual SoD reviews, remediation, and evidence collection steal weeks from senior finance, IT, and audit staff every quarter, delaying period close and other strategic initiatives.
Business slowdowns	Slow time-to-access for new hires, projects, and system changes creates access fire drills and delays revenue-impacting or transformation projects.
Compliance pressure	Last-minute audit issues, weak or scattered evidence, and inconsistent access data across apps and environments drive repeat findings, external audit scrutiny, and consulting spend.

Without centralized SoD governance, approvals are inconsistent, evidence lives in emails and spreadsheets, and high‑risk access often remains in place for months after people change roles or leave the organization.

Business outcomes you can expect

1

Fewer Segregation of Duties conflicts and control failures

Preventive, fine‑grained automation and continuous monitoring reduce high‑risk SoD conflicts even as roles and responsibilities change, so you catch issues before they impact financial statements.

2

Lower audit and compliance costs

Automated certifications, evidence collection, and lookback analysis cut audit prep effort and external consulting spend—customers typically reduce quarterly user review effort by 30–50%.

3

No more cross‑system blind spots

Cross‑system Segregation of Duties analytics and continuous monitoring expose risks that manual checks and basic role‑based access controls cannot see, especially where cloud and SaaS processes intersect with core ERP.

4

Higher productivity and agility

Proactive SoD checks in provisioning and change workflows mean fewer access fire drills and less rework—projects move faster because SoD sign‑off is built into the workflow instead of handled via ad‑hoc reviews.

5

Right‑sized risk with monitoring controls

Apply compensating and monitoring controls when business agility requires elevated access, ensuring Segregation of Duties controls target material risk rather than blocking low‑risk operational tasks.

6

Governance that scales with the business

As you grow, add applications, or move to hybrid and multi‑cloud, SafePaaS integrates new systems while keeping Segregation of Duties policies and controls consistent across your organization.

Keep SoD controls right‑sized so they reduce material, financial, and compliance risk without blocking the business, using compensating and monitoring controls when elevated access is required.
