What is Authorizations Insight?

Authorizations Insight uses pre-defined, configurable business rules to uncover user access risks and inform appropriate decision makers with reports and alerts. Remediation is automated, and Authorizations Insight enables you to establish preventive controls that ensure SoD clean-up is a one-time event and not a quarterly project.

Authorizations Insight Software Capabilities

Proactive SoD Analysis

Continuous monitoring of access conflicts and sensitive transactions identify exceptions as they occur and automatically notify decision makers.

Automated Compensating Controls

User activity tracking enables you to automate mitigating controls by monitoring one transaction or a whole series for unusual or prohibited transactions. Reports can be used as evidence for mitigating controls while transaction usage history is helpful in designing and modifying roles.

Out-of-the-Box Rules

A rich library of pre-defined business rules, reports, and alerts map to the lowest levels of ERP authorizations, such as SAP T-Codes, Authorization Objects and Field Values or Oracle menus and functions.

Preventive Simulation

“What-if” analysis simulates proposed authorization changes to highlight potential controls violations before they occur. Simulations can be performed for a wide variety of tasks, including role assignments, role definitions, and new role creation.

Emergency Access

Grant users the ability to perform “firefighting” activities outside their role when emergencies arise without compromising the security of your ERP system. Users are assigned a temporary IT with monitored and regulated access. A complete audit trail enables you to demonstrate compliance to auditors by tracking input down to the lowest level of the security model.

Reduced Burden on IT Staff

Eliminate the time your IT security staff spends running manual reports. Automated SoD control monitoring identifies violations when they occur and alerts appropriate managers.

Reduced Audit Preparation Costs

Reduce the time and disruption of preparing for your audits. Reports and audit trails are stored for easy retrieval, including user access rule definitions, uncovered user violations, and remediation actions.

Faster Regulatory Compliance

Meet aggressive deadlines for complying with regulatory mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404. With Authorizations Insight even complex organizations can clean up SoD violations within a matter of weeks or a few months.

Reduced Cost of Compensating Controls

Meet aggressive deadlines for complying with regulatory mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404. With Authorizations Insight even complex organizations can clean up SoD violations within a matter of weeks or a few months.

Reduced "Firefighting" Risk

Substantially reduce the risk that comes with granting super-user access for “firefighting” activities by temporarily assigning super user roles to pre-approved users quickly and securely.

We have reduced the time to test and validate SAP access controls for our audit by 80%.
