A Global Security & Asset Protection Organization’s Approach to Access Management

[tabs style=”default”] [tab title=”Executive Summary”]
Business processes and technology change at a rapid pace. In the context of change, internal controls over financial reporting, regulatory requirements (e.g., SOX), internal and external auditors, and fraud risk put increased pressure on corporations to ensure ERP systems are secure and access control risks are managed in the context of a dynamic business environment. Segregation of duties (SoD), inherited rights, critical and super user access, and changes to roles are too much for today’s organization to manage adequately in manual processes. A global security and asset protection organization used to manually manage their access control testing in their SAP environments. To address this challenge, they found a solution in ERP Maestro that was not only cost effective, but also enabled them to achieve their goals of efficiency, effectiveness, and agility. GRC 20/20 has evaluated and verified the use of ERP Maestro at this organization and confirms that the ERP Maestro subscription service has achieved measurable value across the elements of GRC efficiency, effectiveness, and agility. In this context, GRC 20/20 has recognized ERP Maestro with a 2014 GRC Value Award in the domain of Identity & Access Management.
