Nufarm Enhances Security and Compliance with ALLOut
In response to escalating complexity and inefficiency caused by over 300 user roles in their JD Edwards system, Nufarm Ltd implemented ALLOut to streamline and standardize their security processes. This solution enabled Nufarm to enforce segregation of duties controls, improve visibility into user access, and significantly reduce maintenance hours. As a result, Nufarm achieved enhanced security, operational efficiency, and successfully passed audits with improved compliance.
Client in Focus
Nufarm Ltd, headquartered in Victoria, Australia, is a leading global agrochemical company. With over 450 employees and annual revenues reaching $2.68 billion, Nufarm operates manufacturing facilities in 14 countries and sales offices in over 100 nations, ranking among the top 10 companies in its industry worldwide.
Nufarm faced significant security management issues with their JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1 system. The initial implementation resulted in over 300 user-specific roles, leading to a lack of controls, unmanageable maintenance, and no effective segregation of duties. This untenable situation threatened compliance, risking a negative audit report and highlighting the need for a comprehensive security overhaul.
Nufarm implemented ALLOut to rationalize and standardize roles, resolve multi-role issues, and provide auditable security reports. The implementation process included rolling out the new system to 440 users, ensuring all were audited, including segregation of duties controls. This approach enabled Nufarm to establish standard groups of roles and compensating controls, with managers gaining visibility into staff access and the business taking ownership of security.
The adoption of ALLOut led to a streamlined and controlled security environment for Nufarm. The company successfully mitigated the risks of their previous setup, achieving full compliance and avoiding a negative audit report. The new security model significantly reduced maintenance hours and improved reporting, with the ALLOut implementation being recognized as Best Practice within Nufarm and subsequently rolled out across their New Zealand operations.
