ERP transformations are inherently risky, with up to one-third of application breaches resulting from unauthorized access via default, shared, or stolen credentials. As organizations move sensitive finance, accounting, and payroll data to modern systems, compliance complexity increases dramatically. Many ERP transformation projects underestimate the need to develop appropriate control structures to mitigate SoD violations and access risks.

Without proactive planning and modern tools, organizations face increased compliance expenses, unmanageable sensitive access risks, controls weaknesses discovered post-go-live, and audit failures — issues that could have been avoided by embedding security and governance into the transformation from the start rather than treating it as an afterthought.
