Simplify Oracle ERP Security Audits

What is a Security Audit?

A security audit is a comprehensive assessment of all critical application access and business process controls. Conducting regular audits helps identify SoD violations, access risks, and gaps in security. Audits are also an integral part of meeting regulatory compliance requirements. They enable internal auditors and business managers to gain insights into applications risks and take the necessary steps towards risk mitigation and remediation.

Challenges

Auditing an ERP system like Oracle EBS for security risks is a complex, time-consuming, and tedious process. Security teams must scan through user roles, authorizations, data access privileges, and usage logs to determine risk factors like Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflicts, master data changes, and security gaps. Conducting an audit manually takes time and resources which not only adds to the cost but also results in longer audit cycles. Even with a large enough budget and team, there is a high possibility of missing something that might cause an audit failure.
