Preparing for your year-end audit is time-consuming!

With the number of IT security and audit compliance processes required during the holiday season, ending one year and preparing for the next can take a stressful toll. Insider risk reporting is always vital to establishing best practice credibility, but even more so at this time. In standard JD Edwards, this is a challenging process prone to time-consuming confusion about what to look for, countless manual steps, and questions around data extraction that could leave your senior management, IT teams, and organization vulnerable.

Of course, it helps to start by knowing what reports can best help you achieve an effective end-of-year system and security evaluation.

A quick glance at the top three recommended reports:

1. Role relationships

Annual user access reviews are general IT security pre-requisites, which with today’s employee turnover rates increasing on a global scale are vital:

• • Automated visibility to determine if security access aligns with user responsibilities.
  • Identification of inactive or obsolete user access.
  • Adaptable report parameters that meet requirements, i.e., roles within departments, environments, or site management.

2. Critical Access Reviews

Defining what critical access to sensitive data or processes is appropriate will be different for each organization. Whatever your criteria and whatever the role, automated reviews can cater to your terms:

• • Maintaining system stability by monitoring who can change foundational data that could impact business process flow (e.g., access to the fiscal date calendar).
  • Monitoring access to high-risk data (e.g., GDPR compliance, banking, and account details) and changes made.
  • Choose how comprehensive the report is, based on the stakeholders concerned (e.g., Matrix/summary, List, or detailed reports).
