(SoD) policies




• Adjust access rights when

job function changes




• Revoke user access upon

termination




• Provide uniform access

templates

based on job roles




• Perform compliance

assessments




• Produce automated reports




Bottom Line

is a crucial technology

for modern businesses

to comply with SOX
