Today Meta-Byte Technologies announced that it has partnered with ERP Maestro to help clients running SAP automate access controls and segregation of duties monitoring quickly and affordably.

Business processes and technology change at a rapid pace. In the context of change, internal controls over financial reporting, regulatory requirements, internal and external auditors, and fraud risk put increased pressure on corporations to ensure ERP systems are secure and access control risks are managed in the context of a dynamic business environment.

ERP Maestro is a quick and simple cloud-based solution that automates Segregation of Duties, Sensitive Access, Emergency Access and Secure Provisioning in SAP. Because it is a SaaS solution, deployment is a matter of 30 minutes and flexible subscription pricing makes it easy to fit into any budget.

With the increased scrutiny auditors are placing on Segregation of Duties (SoD), inherited rights, critical and super user access, changes to roles are too much for todays organization to manage adequately in manual processes, said Salil Dighe, Founder and CEO of Meta-Byte Technologies. We are proud to now work with an emerging leader like ERP Maestro to solve this challenge for our clients running SAP.

The solution monitors all transactions in SAP for conflicts down to the authorization level and features a selection of audit-ready reports out of the box. Business stakeholders can easily examine the organizations potential risks related to access by user, role or transaction and then leverage this information to tactfully authorize to remove unutilized functionality or directly assign any available mitigating controls.

As fraud increases and the cost of security audits rise for SAP and other ERP environments, we see the growing importance for organizations focused on SOD risk analysis to automate their SOD controls monitoring process, said Jody Paterson, CEO, ERP Maestro. ERP Maestro is proud to work with Meta-Byte and their clients in the Middle East to accomplish our mission of helping SAP-centric organizations eliminate hundreds of man-hours involved in the compliance reporting process and improve risk posture at one of the most attractive price points in the industry.
