Why Segregation of Privileges (SoP) is the Future of Compliance in D365FO

Rethinking Compliance in D365FO

As businesses continue to digitize their financial and operational processes, compliance and security concerns are at an all-time high. Organizations using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365FO) must ensure data integrity, prevent fraud, and comply with regulatory frameworks such as SOX, GDPR, and ISO 27001.

Historically, many organizations have relied on Segregation of Duties (SoD) setup as a best practice for access control and fraud prevention. SoD ensures that no single user has control over critical business functions, reducing the risk of internal fraud. However, as businesses scale and cloud-based ERP systems evolve, SoD has proven to be difficult to define the rules because there are millions of duties and it’s not easy to know which security privileges use these duties. Many organizations spend months of even years on trying to setup the SoD rules. This proves a headache to meet compliance.

This is where Segregation of Privileges (SoP) comes into play because it’s easier to define the rules.

With the introduction of Noirsoft’s D365RoleSecure, businesses can now shift from complex SoD structures to an easier to define, privilege-based compliance model.

Segregation of Privileges (SoP): A Smarter Approach to Compliance

Unlike SoD, which focuses on task separation, SoP is about controlling privilege levels at a granular scale. It ensures that users only have access to the exact privileges required for their roles, reducing the risk of excessive permissions.

In a privilege-based access model, employees are assigned minimum necessary privileges instead of broad role-based access. This minimizes:✔ Fraud and insider threats✔ Privilege creep✔ Excessive role overlaps.

Business Benefits of SoP in D365FO

With Noirsoft’s D365RoleSecure, organizations experience:

1. Easier to Define SoP Rules which can lead to quicker turnaround of the SoP rule definitions creation.

2. Optimized Role Management – Prevent role conflicts and access bloat.

3. By replacing outdated SoD models with intelligent privilege-based access control, businesses can enhance security while maintaining operational agility.

Conclusion: The Future of Compliance in D365FO is SoP

SoP is the way to Go!
