Challenge	GP Strategies Corporation, a global performance improvement provider, was facing issues with the Oracle seeded job roles they were using. These roles presented segregation of duties (SoD) conflict challenges and allowed extensive sensitive access to individuals who did not require it, increasing risk. As a publicly traded company, GP Strategies also had to adhere to the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance requirements, which imposed heavy regulatory and financial costs as well as compliance burdens. They needed an audit and compliance solution that would integrate well with Oracle Cloud, provide detailed audit reporting, SoD visibility, and sensitive access analysis without increasing overhead and support costs.

About Customer	GP Strategies Corporation is a global performance improvement provider of sales and technical training, e-learning, management consulting, and engineering services. It is a $500M (USD) company with locations in 27 countries. As a publicly traded company, GP Strategies must adhere to the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance requirements. This means both management and an external auditor report on the adequacy of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. For many publicly traded companies, SOX imposes heavy regulatory and financial costs as well as compliance burdens. Read More
Solution	GP Strategies chose Fastpath for audit and compliance requirements, as well as greater visibility into SoD conflicts and reduced time-to-issue identification and remediation. They also chose ERP Risk Advisors for help with understanding which privileges in Oracle ERP Cloud are associated to each side of a SoD conflict and their ERP Armor product. ERP Risk Advisors provided GP Strategies its ERP Armor solution. The heart of ERP Armor is the design of your ERP Risk solution that blends a proven ERP Risk Architecture and ERP Risk content developed over 20 years. ERP Armor is software agnostic and provides for a support model of quarterly and annual updates. This approach provides GP Strategies with continuous updates to the content to keep current with the risk introduced by Oracle on a quarterly basis. Read More Log in to view content
