AI Summary
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365FO) is a comprehensive ERP solution that helps businesses optimize financial management and operational efficiency.
- To successfully implement D365FO, management buy-in is crucial, as without their support, obstacles in security implementation may be harder to solve.
- Involving the critical three user groups
- business users, compliance, and IT
- is essential for effective communication and understanding of security risks and needs.
- While standard segregation of duties (SoD) reporting tools can provide a high-level overview, businesses should tailor the rulesets to their specific needs.
- Relying on security by obscurity is not an effective approach, as most SoD violations occur unintentionally. It is better to remove unnecessary access altogether.
- Although D365FO offers out-of-the-box security roles, it is recommended to develop new roles that are broken into business tasks to avoid excessive access and SoD violations.
- Over-assignment of the system administrator role should be minimized to reduce security risks. Access should be granted through a test environment and regular reviews should be conducted.
- Old access should be promptly removed as users change job responsibilities to minimize security risks. Avoid copying access from other users and assign the least amount of access required.
- Security governance processes, including regular checks for SoD risks, user access reviews, role changes, and SoD ruleset reviews, are crucial for a secure and compliant environment.
- Starting security discussions at the right time, typically after the conference room pilot sessions and before user acceptance testing, allows for informed decision-making and an appropriate security timeline.
